selsta: i ended up having to update manually, i saw no notification. was on v0.18.1.2, maybe that's why.

charuto: v0.18.1.2 should not matter

do you use a VPN?

shrugs

yes i do.

dig -t TXT updates.moneropulse.org

does this print the hashes of the different versions?

it does.

can you start the old version from command line and then click on cancel when it asks for your password? and then post the log output?

I'm curious if it says "2023-04-19 11:23:49.531 I Version 0.18.2.2 of monero-gui for mac-x64 is available: downloads.getmonero.org/gui/monero-gui-mac-x64-v0.18.2.2.dmg, SHA256 hash 0b676d21b8133830b8446744382ae7c8b51d0e228713184d70100721504bdd4c"

you can download the old version here: downloads.getmonero.org/gui/monero-gui-linux-x64-v0.18.1.2.tar.bz2

yeah, give me a while and i'll try that

ty

invalid dnssec txt record yadda yadda servfail no ds for ds org. while building chain of trust

want me to post the full message or is that enough?

does it show up when you start with `DNS_PUBLIC="tcp://9.9.9.9"` env var?

trying also

selsta: would you prefer if i simply used 9.9.9.9 as a custom dns server on my vpn configuration?

it shouldn't matter

you can try either

let me try disabling dns content blockers first.

shouldn't be related to content blocker

I have the same issue when I use Hetzner default DNS.

i see the update prompt / message in terminal (ubuntu 22.04)

neither worked.

can you explain me how to set the envvar, been a while.

envvars are "forgot" upon reboot, correct? i won't have to manually revert it, or will i?

DNS_PUBLIC="tcp://9.9.9.9" ./monero-wallet-gui

ty

It should show `Using public DNS server(s): 9.9.9.9 (TCP)` in the logs when it's set correctly

"no two valid dns txt records were received"

That often means your ISP (or some other MITM) is stripping DNSSEC signatures.

There's a program called... monero-utils-check-dns IIRC or similar name, will go through monero records and tell you what's wrong.

thank you, i'll look into it.
