Nope, same error.

Ok, so maybe a different port (this one worked previously though)

Nope.

Welp, gotta get some sleep. I wish this could have been a quick "open, pay and close" thing but alas...

See ya all tomorrow :)

So what's the consensus here? Does Ledger generally suck and is Trezor recommended instead?

we think its user error probably

can your ledger connect to ledger live? ForeverNoob

Yes. I am connecting the same way I had for the previous times, but the last time I opened Monero-GUI was a couple of months ago.

what OS are we using? ubuntu?

Yes, Ubuntu 18.04

ForeverNoob[m]: These are the steps I do:

1. Connect and unlock Ledger Nano

2. Open Monero-GUI

3. Enter password for my wallet.

Normally it opens, but now it says that device is not found 🤷

plugging my ledger in...

in the monero ledger app, with the address displaying click the right button twice to go to About - enter - go to bottom - what app version?

1.8.0 correct?

App 1.8.0 yeah

Spec 1.0

ok good, and ledger live is definitely closed (but youve confirmed that you can actually connect to it today?)

Yeah, I opened up Ledger Live again but it's an AppImage so I can close it completely again.

and youve clicked on my ledger in ledger live and its prompted you t allow it etc?

Yep, allowed it and there I can confirm it says v1.8.0 on the Monero app.

ok good , im closing ledger live appimage now

Also says that firmware is up to date (v2.1.0)

my ledger is unlocked, im going to open up the monero app, before trying to start monero gui

this time i didnt see a device not connected error , but you see it still?

Wait

so i had the address displaying on the ledger before opening the monero-gui

plowsof: Right, that did it.

you must learn this ritual

I'm too poor to be using it so frequently that I make this into my muscle memory :(

But... I can document it for future reference.

it can feel like pushing a square peg into a round hole sometimes, but with a big enough hammer - the monero-gui will detect the ledger

Ah yeah I know what you mean, I'm using Linux on the desktop so I'm used to the frustration :p

good that its fixed, i will try to reproduce this annoying situation ;_; have a nice day monero enjoyer

Thanks, in my case it was pretty simple (so simple in fact that it's easily overlooked :p) - I had to make sure that after unlocking Ledger Nano, I had to also open the Monero app.

Perhaps adding simple troubleshooting steps would alleviate this issue: "Device not found - Are you sure you've opened the Monero app on your Ledger device?"

start gui - at password prompt for hardware wallet - connect and unlock ledger - press ok - error device not connected - press ok again - it works <- will see if this happens 100% of the time

Hmm, I'll have to try that, but usually I have to connect and unlock my Ledger Nano before opening up the Monero GUI.

Why doesn't Monero GUI want to open symlinks?

As in, symlinked wallet.keys and such.

Also, annotated transaction history is stored in ~/Monero/wallets/my_wallet/my_wallet is that correct?
