Ksqldb not starting

Greetings,
I have a working kafka installation on my laptop.
I installed confluent-ksqldb-0.29.0 into /opt in Ubuntu Linux.
When I execute: “sudo /opt/confluent/bin/ksql-server-start /opt/confluent/etc/ksqldb/ksql-server.properties” I get the following error:

#------ Endpoint config -------

### HTTP  ###
# The URL the KSQL server will listen on:
# The default is any IPv4 interface on the machine.
# NOTE: If set to wildcard or loopback set 'advertised.listener' to enable pull queries across machines
listeners=http://0.0.0.0:8088
#listeners=http://localhost:8088

# Use the 'listeners' line below for any IPv6 interface on the machine.
# listeners=http://[::]:8088

# If running a multi-node cluster across multiple machines and 'listeners' is set to a wildcard or loopback address
# 'advertised.listener' must be set to the URL other KSQL nodes should use to reach this node.
# advertised.listener=?

### HTTPS ###
# To switch KSQL over to communicating using HTTPS comment out the 'listeners' line above
# uncomment and complete the properties below.
# See: https://docs.ksqldb.io/en/latest/operate-and-deploy/installation/server-config/security/#configure-the-cli-for-https
#
# listeners=https://0.0.0.0:8088
# advertised.listener=?
# ssl.truststore.location=?
# ssl.truststore.password=?
# ssl.keystore.location=?
# ssl.keystore.password=?
# ssl.key.password=?

#------ Logging config -------

# Automatically create the processing log topic if it does not already exist:
ksql.logging.processing.topic.auto.create=true

# Automatically create a stream within KSQL for the processing log:
ksql.logging.processing.stream.auto.create=true

# Uncomment the following if you wish the errors written to the processing log to include the
# contents of the row that caused the error.
# Note: care should be taken to restrict access to the processing topic if the data KSQL is
# processing contains sensitive information.
ksql.logging.processing.rows.include=true

#------- Metrics config --------

# Turn on collection of metrics of function invocations:
# ksql.udf.collect.metrics=true

#------ External service config -------

#------ Kafka -------

# The set of Kafka brokers to bootstrap Kafka cluster information from:
bootstrap.servers=localhost:9092

# Enable snappy compression for the Kafka producers
compression.type=snappy

#------ Connect -------

# uncomment the below to start an embedded Connect worker
# ksql.connect.worker.config=config/connect.properties

#------ Schema Registry -------

# Uncomment and complete the following to enable KSQL's integration to the Confluent Schema Registry:
# ksql.schema.registry.url=http://localhost:8081
state.dir=/var/lib/kafka-streams

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
