[BUG] After installing "Conneting to wallet" stays forever

[gregtyminski]

Describe the bug I've installed Windows 10 version 1.0.3.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Double click on 'ChiaSetup-1.0.3.exe'
2. Keep watching and looking at "Conneting to wallet"
3. Restart app.
4. Restart system and start the "Chia" app again.

Expected behavior Start farming? Showing some plots? No idea. I have never seen anything else than "conneting to wallet".

Screenshots See the screenshot.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 10
• OS Version/Flavor: Windows 10 Pro 19041.867
• CPU: Intel Cor i7-6820HQ 2.7 GHz

Additional context I've tried with version 1.0.3 as well as with version 1.0.2. I've restarted app as well as the OS itself. No changes.

My Chia used to work on version 1.0.0. I have been having the same issue for weeks now and it all started after I uninstalled 1.0.0 and updated to 1.0.1. Now, it doesn't matter the version I install (1.0.0, 1.0.3.), it will always be like that.

If I do View > Force Reload it goes to blank and the only way to view some text and be prompted for the key is to try View > Reload afterwards and I repeat between the two many times until it appears.

After being lucky, I get to see the wallet key prompt, and after clicking on the key I get to see all the normal things except it never connects to the nodes (I was already synchronized and farming when I was using 1.0.0)

If I check the Windows processes, all the Chia services have already been started, but nothing worked as I hoped.

I have also already tried on PowerShell from fresh boot, and from there I can "successfully start" everything with ./chia start all. I let it run for a few minutes and even after 3 or 4 hours, when querying its status with ./chia show -s it always shows this:

Connection error. Check if full node rpc is running at 8555 This is normal if full node is still starting up

Yes, I have already reviewed my Windows firewall settings and I have set everything Chia as accept IN/OUT. I don't really know what other things to try :(

PS: This is what I get when I stop the services using ./chia stop all :

chia_harvester: Stopped chia_timelord_launcher: Not running chia_timelord: Not running chia_farmer: Stopped chia_full_node: Traceback (most recent call last): File "src\server\start_full_node.py", line 65, in File "src\server\start_full_node.py", line 60, in main File "src\server\start_service.py", line 211, in run_service File "asyncio\runners.py", line 43, in run File "asyncio\base_events.py", line 587, in run_until_complete File "src\server\start_service.py", line 205, in async_run_service File "src\server\start_service.py", line 150, in run File "src\server\start_service.py", line 126, in start File "src\server\server.py", line 203, in start_server File "src\server\server.py", line 34, in ssl_context_for_server File "ssl.py", line 625, in _create_unverified_context FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory [19004] Failed to execute script start_full_node Stopped chia_wallet: Stopped

Thanks.

try this. close chia. delete ~/.chia/mainnet folder from your user directory. reboot. restart

[louie42]

Thanks wjblanke, using the UI it works on the first try after doing that!

Meanwhile, I have removed version 1.0.2 and 1.0.3 and installed 1.0.0 to check if same think would work like @louie42 mentioned. Unfortunately.

I have Windows 10. There is no directory location like ~/.chia/

The place I have found at my disk with chia is:

@gregtyminski, I think that directory exists on 1.0.3 and not 1.0.0. Try uninstalling 1.0.0 and reinstalling 1.0.3.

After installing 1.0.3, if it doesn't work, try deleting the /mainnet folder (that will now exist!) You will find it at: C:\Users\GrzegorzTymiński.chia\mainnet

That's weird, but... I hope this helps :)

[gregtyminski]

@louie42 : I tried with ver. 1.0.3 There is no folder mainnet and stil doesn't work. I don't have folder C:\Users\GrzegorzTymiński\.chia\. I have fresh same folder like before, but with version 1.0.3.

[gregtyminski]

So I tried to do this a bit ... manually. Look at the steps below.

So. Gives that anything to you? After all above commands I started GUI again ... and same end effect ... "Connecting to wallet".

What might be the issue?

[gregtyminski]

At this Windows 10 OS I have as well Ubuntu (w/o GUI). I've installed chia there and started plotting from command line. It's not solution at all. I have no idea, how to then start farming. :-)

[WangKehanK]

Same issue with Windows 10 here.

Also, the console in developer tools shows me "Already connected, not reconnecting."

[beasier]

Having the same issue on Mac Big Sur. After my initial plotting which never completed my computer crashed and when I came back in again this happened. I started on 1.0.3. I was hoping this would be fixed by 1.0.4, and then 1.0.5. Still having the same issue. I'd really like to get started. I don't know why this issue isn't being addressed.

[kelatoz]

me toooo.... my version 1.1.2
