hi guys, so I loaded up my client today and for some reason it keeps saying this. "Exception in main! Unable to create ZMQ context (thrown at /home/ubuntu/build/monero/src/rpc/zmq_server.cpp:104): Bad address"

Bare in mind, I'm on Windows

I think it's the daemon actually

Are you running with some kind of apparmor like thing ?

Only malwarebytes

er, I googled it and nah, I don't run this

I'm on Windows, I run the .exe and it's spitting out a home ubuntu directory so it looks like it's trying to use wsl

Are you running another daemon already, which is already using that address ?

negative, I checked my process list

Did you run the daemon on that machine before without this issue ?

yeah it's been fine

I can't think of what could of changed in that time

It's Windows, so it's tempting to say "reboot" but... :)

yeahh I haven't tried that yet, I feel like a version of a lib has changed somewhere

I'll give it a reboot a try and run to the shop. I'll let you know if it happens again after, thank you for trying to help

yeah same issue

well this sucks

any recommendations for a wallet that supports ledger in the mean time?

what version of windows are you using? have you downloaded a release binary from getmonero or selfcompiled?

64-bit installer from the website, Windows 11 Pro 22H2

or is this indeed a 'it was working -> windows did something -> now its not' ?

It's coming from the daemon it seems cause I can't even run it manually

yeah I think it's that

cause I genuinely can't think of anything I've done that could cause the daemon to not boot

idk why it says "/home/ubuntu", is it really using WSL or is that the home directory of the person who compiled the bin

windows defender in all its wisdom must have done something then.... have you tried re-downloading the zip file of gui (not installer) to an excluded-from-defender folder?

GUI version btw: 0.18.2.2-unknown (Qt 5.15.8)

that 'should' work

hmm, lemme try whitelist it on everything

so i would try downloads.getmonero.org/gui/win64 (which is the zip file)

extract the zip from within an excluded folder

alright I'll try that, I don't think windows defender is even running because it only shows MalwareBytez in the Windows Security window

same error

:(

whitelisted, unzip in to it's own folder

it's monerod ;-;

looks like I'm gonna be stuck to my macbook for monero

aaaaaaaaaaa

the torture lmao

TheEpTic: do you use WSL for other things?

we do use cross compilation from Linux to Windows, maybe that's why it says Ubuntu

yes, just confirmed with `strings` that it says `ubuntu` due to cross compilation

I used to but I don't really touch WSL nowadays. I know a lot of programs like to use it though, I think my dev stuff might get upset

if I was to remove it that is

did you try to fully restart your computer? when was the last time monerod worked?

I'm not sure when it was last working, maybe a week ago? I don't open it often

and yeah I rebooted my PC earlier

the monero code itself didn't change

did you install an update this week?

22h2 doesn't seem too new

starting monerod with `--no-zmq` might solve your issue
