App Node Detached with Undefined Error

[graebeerd]

Ryzen 3700X - 16 GB 3200 RAM - Win 11 - nVME - 1GB LAN & WAN

• downloaded the node database from within the app, it unpacked - screen went dark and came back but I'm running nicehash on this machine so that doesn't surprise me - came back to this and it's been over 5 hours - my core node will sync with the chain in less than 3 hours over 3 weeks behind from a checkpoint. Just wondering if this is normal :

[andyoknen]

@graebeerd Are you running the node separately from the Bastion app? Such an error usually indicates that the node is started from the outside and the data for connecting (login /password) to the node does not match in the application and the node.

[graebeerd]

@andyoknen This is the GUI, v0.4.119 and the node that is included with it. I have, on the same LAN but a different computer, a core node v0.20.17 running. Oh, and it's Win 10, not 11 - Sorry.

I don't see any way to access it other than the enable/disable link and it doesn't work - it just sits there trying to to start. I'm logged into the app but was never given an opportunity to log into its node.

I see that the included node is setup in the same default directories as the core node

Would you suggest removing and reinstalling?

[andyoknen]

@graebeerd I would take a look at the node logs By default in Windows - C:\Users\\appdata\Roaming\Pocketnet\pocketcoin\debug.log

[graebeerd]

@andyoknen hmmm...that file does not exist at any point under the Pocketnet directory

[andyoknen]

If there is no file, then the node did not start. Could you check the task manager if there is a process pocketcoind.exe ?

[graebeerd]

It's not running...when I try to start it via cmd it does create the debug.log file with the following information

There is a Checkpoints directory in C:\Users\wicke\AppData\Roaming\Pocketnet\pocketcoin but not in C:\Users\wicke\AppData\Roaming\Pocketcoin

[graebeerd]

as the debug.log instructs, I did paste a cope of the main.sqlite DB along with the checkpoints directory that it reside in, into ...Roaming\Pocketcoin\ and started pocketcoind again and it's running and connected to the seeded servers.

[andyoknen]

What other files are in C:\Users\wicke\AppData\Roaming\Pocketnet\pocketcoin ?

[graebeerd]

[andyoknen]

I would also take a look at the %localappdata%\Programs\Pocketnet\data\setting file

[graebeerd]

Here it is, do you see anything out of sorts?

[andyoknen]

Try set data path in app to C:\Users\wicke\AppData\Roaming\Pocketnet\pocketcoin and start node

[andyoknen]

Judging by the settings file, the path is used by default, but it's better to check it and specify it explicitly. And once again make sure through the task manager that you do not have another node running. Find process with executable name is pocketcoind.exe

[graebeerd]

I can't change anything in the app as the image at the top of this thread remains the same. I changed the datapath in the stetting file and restarted the app, nothing changed. There was no node running and when I manually start the node it shows only the one instance in the taskmanager.

At this point, instead of wasting resources, would it just be better to uninstall and reinstall?

[andyoknen]

Why can't you change the path in the app? When the node is stopped in the application, two "Default" buttons appear to change directories, click on the second one to specify the path to the data directory

[graebeerd]

They don't show up whether the node is stopped or not. I've tried starting the app with the node not running, starting it with the node running, starting the node after I've started the app but no matter what I do, all I get is the same as the image at the top of this thread.

[andyoknen]

Do you always have the Enabled section in the loading state? Do the yes/no buttons appear there?

[graebeerd]

Sorry for the late reply - Yes, always in the loading state, there are no buttons or links available.

[andyoknen]

OK, I'll try to reproduce this behavior and understand where the error is.

[andyoknen]

Please try upgrading to the beta version - We've redesigned the node page a bit.

worked and updated today to the rc. Thanks to and for all
