06:44:37 It has been downloading the node to my computer half a day yesterday and during a night I left computer online to continue the download. Unfortunately in the morning as it is hard to wake up a computer screen back to live for some reason I pressed the on/off button of my computer for too long and I switch it off accidentally . So I do not know if the node has been downloaded or n 06:44:37 ot . Anyway it is not connecting to node .I have this in a log : 06:44:39 [3/5/25 7:31 AM] 2025-03-05 06:31:05.565 I Monero 'Fluorine Fermi' (v0.18.3.4-unknown) 06:44:41 Error: Couldn't connect to daemon: 127.0.0.1:18081 06:44:43 What should I do now ? 06:50:47 How large is the file? 07:22:58 It is empty . I do not have a glue what have happened. 07:26:04 Sticky situation... 07:26:34 <3​21bob321:monero.social> Bazinga 07:31:29 No other choice .I am going to start back again from the scratch with some modifications on my disc location. 08:11:33 https://matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/v1/download/matrix.org/QKHwPDLJLebXpIAzwpNKaQlL 08:11:37 To be albe to download the nod back again do I need to reset first ? : 08:26:27 I think you should do this first: 08:27:58 If using monero-wallet-gui, find where you can add monerod options, it's in there somewhere, maybe options ? 08:28:09 Then add: --log-level 1 08:28:35 If using monero-wallet-cli, you're using monerod manually, so add --log-level 1 to the monerod command line. 08:28:48 Then you should see more interesting stuff at the end of the log file. 08:29:05 If it says something like "corrupted", you'd have to delete the chain and let it get it again. 08:29:14 But it might say something else. 08:38:31 https://matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/v1/download/matrix.org/ScTuEoivKWYedIKuTdTfMnVC 08:42:11 I have Monero Gui Wallet . I can see the logs and when I change to log 1 nothing is changing . The log actually starts at 07:30 when I accidently restart computer. I think all is lost .I need to start from the scrach. 08:42:11 How to do that ? How to delete the chain you talk about ? 08:58:01 1523 09:58:56 How can I switch a wallet created in simple mode to advance mode? 10:07:31 Ok I found it 10:07:58 I was thinking about integrating two different wallet modes 10:08:14 Do not present any simple mode or advance mode at creation 10:08:33 But instead put mining/siging stuff into a folder called advance 10:09:04 And allow user to switch between remote node or a local full node at the bottom left corner 10:09:42 And create something like tips to encourage users to try (solo) mining and run their own full local node 10:10:20 Because currently switching between simple mode and advance mode is quite complex, you have to log out again and switch and login in. 10:10:47 If newbie use simple mode first it is very unlikely he will use advance functions later 10:12:15 I was thinking about unifying two different wallet modes 11:14:21 Assuming UNIX like, the chain defaults to $HOME/.bitmonero 11:14:35 The log will be in this directory too (bitmonero.log). 12:40:20 Theres a setting to switch mode 13:38:32 Yeah I know you can switch, what I mean is that switching function is way too hidden to be found. It is supposed to be a easy to find button you can see in the main menu. 13:39:56 Youre not really supposed to switch between advanced and simple mode. You can easily use a remote node ysinf advanced mode 13:41:51 Ok that makes sense, but at least there should be some design on the UI to encourage user to try advance mode after they used simple mode 13:42:10 Like a guide wizard to get a local full node + p2p mining running 13:43:10 Should just remove simple mode imho. 13:48:20 So probably remove simple mode, and add like a explanation to each function in the main menu? 13:57:26 God please 14:16:05 image.png 14:17:24 I have done reset of the download block chain and I can see system starts download a new block chain back again. 14:17:26 My question is what is a default location for the file ? How to find it when the name of the location s not shown ? : 14:18:40 What is written in bottom left corner of gui 14:18:43 You're on linux? 14:19:19 Where the block sync status get displayed 14:19:35 the default location for monerod is `~/.bitmonero`. I think GUI is the same 14:19:38 Ideally have a menu there to allow choosing between remote node or a local node 14:21:17 Are you ninoni ? 14:33:33 Yes I am on Linux. Let me try to find location you mention. 14:44:18 Yes I have found it . bitmonero/Imdb which has 67GB right now . 14:44:19 Do you know if I have interrupted the block chain download and start back again it will over write the existing files ? 14:54:03 Do you know if Gui does a check before it start to download block chain if there is enough space in the default location ? 14:55:01 It should continue where it left off. Bottom left of gui should show progress 14:55:16 Youre about 25gb from completion 14:56:12 I dont know if gui checks firsy 15:34:44 I hope it is able to continue where it left off. Probably so as the location folder is getting more GB .It is 75GB now.The problem is I have on this partition of the disc 45GB more left. 15:49:42 20 more gb to go 15:52:01 image.png 15:56:25 I hope so ... but I do not know because the beginning of orange line it was 67GB and now is 77GB and you can see how much more is there to go . For now looks like it is 1/5 of download done . For now it looks like about 40GB more to download . 15:57:41 1/5th of remaining 15:58:51 Also, when you first started the sync.. there was a checkbox for pruning. It was checked by default 15:59:29 Did you uncheck it? 16:00:17 I do not remember that already .Can I check it somewhere ? 16:03:38 https://matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/v1/download/matrix.org/aLnGcAaOepdzPNbBLXaIsZpQ 16:03:40 In info I can see this information only : 16:03:42 The easiest way to make sure... settings>node>"Daemon startup flags">input `--prune-blockchain` 16:06:19 Then stop the daemon and start it again 16:06:22 https://matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/v1/download/matrix.org/bshIHZXfUgbPIsPARVkmZRWe 16:06:26 The box is empty : 16:07:56 You mean it is not a pruned version and I should start it back again ? 16:10:24 No 16:10:26 I mean, fill in the box as above, then press the button to stop daemon, then press button to start daemon 16:13:10 If its already pruned, nothing will change. If its not already pruned, it will prune it from now on 16:13:33 This is the command I should use right ? : >input --prune-blockchain 16:25:14 https://matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/v1/download/matrix.org/BnxjYdHJVcqGYQKSfUnLSese 16:25:18 I think something is maybe not correct : the line here covers 15GB of download . On the beggining of this line it was 67GB and now it 82GB and this not yet 1/4 of the remaining download. If so it is about 45GB more to download. 17:07:10 https://matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/v1/download/matrix.org/viiXyCvFSJCqhkopcCkKrNTk 17:08:24 Now it is downloaded 20GB and it is 1/4 of the remaining download. In this case when finished it will be 80GB + 67GB =147GB. So I do not have a choice . I think the best it is to stop. Delete all and start back again from the beginning . 17:08:25 To not make any harm to the destination folder what I supposed to delete ? Is it enough to delete Imdb folder which is the one collecting data ? : 17:16:10 No 17:16:41 `--prune-blockchain` is what you put in the box 17:17:34 I try that . 17:19:36 ^ 17:25:40 https://matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/v1/download/matrix.org/bnEjHkcdEUkpoARhhmUSXPwo 17:26:56 What did you put in the box 🙃 17:29:06 I have place all of this : --prune-blockchain is what you put in the box and then later I deleted what should not be there. I think I am tired already of all of this download. It is another second day and I can not complete this task. 17:29:23 deleted what?? 17:30:38 1. Input `--prune-blockchain` into the `daemon startup flags` box 17:30:39 2. Press the button that says `Stop daemon` 17:30:41 3. Press the button that says `Start daemon` 17:31:59 place whole line there the command + this "is what you put in the box" without looking . And later I deleted the "is "what you put in the box" - Sorry I am tired of that I think . 17:32:21 Type it manually 17:32:32 --prune-blockchain 17:36:55 https://matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/v1/download/matrix.org/GMKEqzokTyjKaEZjjZhCYpwe 17:36:58 I have done it . I have seen : it is connecting to network and then disconected :
