[Bug] GUI spins with message "Loading keyring.." . Never finishes. #14468

Closed weaklysubjective closed 1 year ago

weaklysubjective commented 1 year ago

What happened?

Mac had 1.5 chia. After stopping daemon and wallet (this was a wallet only install) upgraded to 1.6.2 Changed localhost in config.yaml to point to 192.x.x.x local ip instead of 'localhost' Started GUI and received the message as in title, and loading never finishes. QUit out GUI. From command line, start chia node and chia wallet. Both start correctly, only asking for system password , to allow chia access keychain. I allowed Always and it has since stopped asking for password on node startup. Back to GUI, with node and wallet started from command line, GUI starts up fine, syncs fine and all is well.

Support folks suggested a few things, such as moving .chia_keys, and starting over with mnemonics, removing passphrase, removing any chia entry in keychain etc. None of that made a difference, problem persisted (i.e. GUI spinning with the message if node or wallet weren't already started from command line)

Could you tell us what version of macOS you are on ?

weaklysubjective commented 1 year ago

Macos monterey 12.0 beta

loppefaaret commented 1 year ago

and under which section of config.yaml have you edited localhost to a local 192.x.x.x IP ? (full_node: - farmer: - wallet: etc.)

weaklysubjective commented 1 year ago

All of it. Editing only say self_hostname , or wallet, or node or both or peer don't work or for me didn't work.

loppefaaret commented 1 year ago

Thank you. I'll add what we went through on keybase support momentarily.

weaklysubjective commented 1 year ago

Great , Thanks

loppefaaret commented 1 year ago

Keybase staff from support pyl and from engineering emlowe tried a couple of things to get this solved:

Could you please put the logs into DEBUG mode and provide the logs from this? chia configure --set-log-level DEBUG Then start the GUI and send us that log?

weaklysubjective commented 1 year ago

Per your instruction : configured DEBUG level. Started GUI (without starting daemon or wallet from CLI). Same issue - loading keyring . Unfortunately no logs.

paninaro commented 1 year ago

@weaklysubjective I'm able to repro the issue. The GUI decides whether to launch the daemon based on whether the ui:daemon_host config setting is "localhost", so that's why you're not able to get the GUI to launch the daemon.

I can push a small fix to launch the daemon if self_hostname === ui:daemon_host, so you would need your config.yaml to use the same value for both of those keys.

weaklysubjective commented 1 year ago

Excellent. Thank you.

paninaro commented 1 year ago

@weaklysubjective The fix has been merged into chia-blockchain-gui main, so the fix will be out in the release after 1.7.0

weaklysubjective commented 1 year ago

Thank you. Any chance you can take a look at 14465 under Discussions? This issue and that one are kinda related.

Request seeks an improvement to the installer to be able to configure what the hostname ought to be in config.yaml. This will make it user-friendly so new users won't have to edit config.yaml and the like. Likewise , Chia GUI also should have an edit field to change the IP Address should the WIFI or other connectivity change within one's LAN.
