I have the same question and I supposed that the latest version of geth(go-ethereum) changing its usage caused such issue. Thus, I try to downgrade my geth, however, when I make the geth@1.8.15 from source code, some fatal errors occur to me. So, we need the help of embark's developer on edge.

I am having that problem. This is a fresh install of ubuntu 20 in amazon aws for this purpose and followed the steps here https://framework.embarklabs.io/docs/installation.html going into each installation guide. You can see the full teck stack with versions at the bottom. I am brand new to smart contracts so I may have done something stupid but willing to try out different things if you want. Right now, it seems like the way to get this working is to manually downgrade geth? Also note
$ embark blockchain
works fine.

the log.txt file was empty (but created). The output on the screen was

Just FYI downgrading geth to version listed in the tutorial 1.8.15, while a huge headache to get working, did fix the problem
