  <f​ineopal:nope.chat> Greetings. I was trying to perform a very simple JSON RPC call to `monero-wallet-cli` which is running on port 28088. I first call `open_wallet` method, according to the docs:
• 15:08
  m-relay
  <f​ineopal:nope.chat> ```
• 15:08
  m-relay
  <f​ineopal:nope.chat> IP=127.0.0.1
• 15:08
  m-relay
  <f​ineopal:nope.chat> PORT=28088
• 15:08
  m-relay
  <f​ineopal:nope.chat> METHOD="open_wallet"
• 15:08
  m-relay
  <f​ineopal:nope.chat> PARAMS='{"filename":"wallet","password":"pass1234"}'
• 15:08
  m-relay
  <f​ineopal:nope.chat> curl \
• 15:08
  m-relay
  <f​ineopal:nope.chat> -u monero:password --digest \
• 15:08
  m-relay
  <f​ineopal:nope.chat> $IP:$PORT/json_rpc \
• 15:09
  m-relay
  <f​ineopal:nope.chat> -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"0","method":"'$METHOD'","params":'"$PARAMS"'}' \
• 15:09
  m-relay
  <f​ineopal:nope.chat> -H 'Content-Type: application/json'
• 15:10
  m-relay
  <f​ineopal:nope.chat> The params for get_transfers, along with wallet and password: `{"in": true, "account_index": 1}`
• 15:13
  m-relay
  <f​ineopal:nope.chat> Am I doing it wrong? I tried different public nodes as well.
• 15:29
  selsta
  did you try rpc wallet?
• 15:40
  m-relay
  <f​ineopal:nope.chat> I created a normal wallet using `monero-wallet-cli`.
• 15:58
  m-relay
  <f​ineopal:nope.chat> Does RPC commands not work for a normal wallet? The open_wallet seems to be working tho.
• 16:00
  moneromooo
  monero-wallet-cli does not do RPC.
• 16:01
  moneromooo
  I don't think it listens to any port either.
• 16:04
  m-relay
  <f​ineopal:nope.chat> Shoot. I thought it did. Apologies.
• 16:05
  m-relay
  <o​frnxmr:monero.social> You're using the rpc wallet
• 16:05
  m-relay
  <o​frnxmr:monero.social> "i'm running monero-wallet-cli with this command: `monero-wallet-rpc`"
• 16:06
  m-relay
  <o​frnxmr:monero.social> Your command flags dont make sense though
• 16:07
  m-relay
  <f​ineopal:nope.chat> What's wrong?
• 16:07
  m-relay
  <o​frnxmr:monero.social> Youre using --wallet-dir, so --password shouldnt be used
• 16:08
  m-relay
  <f​ineopal:nope.chat> Yeah, that's incorrectly pasted. Not intending to use that flag.
• 16:09
  m-relay
  <f​ineopal:nope.chat> Are there any wrong flags for the get_transfers?
• 16:09
  m-relay
  <o​frnxmr:monero.social> if open_wallet works, then other methods should too. If the wallet us not synced / is brand new, it will have to sync the checkpoints before it will respond

  If it's monero-wallet-cli, and the wallet is already open from command line args, it might *look* like open_wallet is working when it's failing.
• 16:10
  m-relay
  <f​ineopal:nope.chat> I don't see any syncing logs in the RPC daemon which is running in foreground.
• 16:11
  m-relay
  <o​frnxmr:monero.social> --log-level=4
• 16:16
  m-relay
  <f​ineopal:nope.chat> Thanks. I am getting this logs:

  <f​ineopal:nope.chat> I am assuming it's syncing.

  If it's syncing, wait. It might not listen to RPC while syncing.
• 16:21
  m-relay
  <f​ineopal:nope.chat> It was showing the block height but now it's a constant spam of the logs pasted above.
• 16:21
  m-relay
  <o​frnxmr:monero.social> Its syncing through the checkpoints
• 16:22
  m-relay
  <o​frnxmr:monero.social> Will take a few minutes because youre using a remote node. Locally takes like 1min
• 16:22
  m-relay
  <f​ineopal:nope.chat> It has stopped now, does it mean it's done?
• 16:22
  m-relay
  <o​frnxmr:monero.social> Probably
• 16:23
  m-relay
  <f​ineopal:nope.chat> Still the same, it's stuck.
• 16:23
  m-relay
  <f​ineopal:nope.chat> Still the same, it's stuck when I call get_transfers.
• 16:24
  m-relay
  <o​frnxmr:monero.social> zerobin.net << paste your command here
• 16:24
  m-relay
  <o​frnxmr:monero.social> Also try a simple command like get_height
• 16:25
  m-relay
  <o​frnxmr:monero.social> if its not finished, its because the wallet is still not synced. Will take a few mins

  hi
• 23:18
  rsch
  there is a bug in monero-wallet-cli
• 23:19
  rsch
  if you type --wallet-file test.keys and change password he save the password in a way that its corrupt
• 23:19
  rsch
  can someone explain how the filename is used in password change?
• 23:21
  m-relay
  <v​tnerd:monero.social> I assume you are the same person that reported here -> monero-project/monero #9943 ?
• 23:21
  rsch
  yes
• 23:21
  rsch
  I changed the password of my wallet with my lalbels and descriptions
• 23:21
  rsch
  I cannot login back
• 23:24
  rsch
  vtnerd: why asking?
• 23:25
  m-relay
  <v​tnerd:monero.social> this was already being tracked in the issue system, didn’t need to report here too
• 23:26
  rsch
  I dont report it here
• 23:26
  rsch
  I have asked a question to understand the code base better
• 23:34
  rsch
  I would like to understand the code structure better. You have some documentation for it?
• 23:35
  m-relay
  <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> "Is there a way to restore the wallet with the incorrect password setting?"
• 23:35
  m-relay
  <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Use your seed / mnemonic
• 23:35
  rsch
  I know but I lose labels and descriptions
• 23:59
  rsch
  vtnerd: do you have an idea where the problem could come from?
