I am running monero on tails. I have 2 usbs, one for tails, one for the blockchain. the first time i downloaded the local node, the monero gui synchronized no problem. however, once i closed down the gui and wanted to open it again, the local node will not sync. what is going on? 20:33:13 what i did to start up: I started tails up, opened the monero gui in persistent storage, typed in password, and let the prompt of 'starting local node in 10...' begin. however, the two bars: daemon is not syncing - this bar is fully grey, and the second bar of blocks remaining is fully orange with a zero '0' 20:57:49 pettybird43 can you go to Settings->Log and enter "status" without quotes 20:58:22 the log is giving me error: could not connec t to daemon:127.0.0.1:18081 20:58:38 oh i just saw ur message needlewoods 20:58:40 ok let me try 21:00:04 it says 'on mainnet, not mining, net hash 0 H/s, v1, 0(out)+0(in) connections, uptime 0dd 0h 2min 6s' 21:02:16 seems it's not connected, do you have the the tab Node in settings? Meaning Settings->Node , then you could try to connect the wallet to a remote node 21:02:58 as in, try to connect to a remote node to see if that even works? 21:04:42 yeah, to see if the wallet is able to make a connection to another node, you can find a remote node here https://monero.fail/ 21:06:27 your daemon does not connect to other daemons, stupid general support question: does your tails have an internet connection 21:07:13 tails is connected to the internet. let me try this remote node 21:07:38 as im looking, is monero alwyas going to be this complicated? will it ever get easier? 21:08:42 i also had tried ./monerod --data-dir /path_to_your_node_data, and it told me W WARNING: no two valid DNS TXT records were received 21:09:01 that's an unrelated warning 21:09:03 you can ignore it 21:10:06 Cindy: when i tried that, i had let it sit there for 5min and nothing happened, is that expected/am I impatient? 21:11:15 @pettybird43:matrix.org: fancy matrix thread O_O 21:11:20 @sashimi.:matrix.org: does it even get bridged to irc? 21:12:22 @sashimi.:matrix.org: sorry what is irc, this is my 2nd time trying to start the gui 21:12:59 @sneedlewoods_xmr:matrix.org: the gui connects to the remote node 21:13:32 @pettybird43:matrix.org: i am a noob ill own it! 21:14:06 @pettybird43:matrix.org: is just the other side of the chats where people doing the chat thing, there is matrix and there is irc, we on matrix rn, so threads might not show up on irc side for the ones that are over there, not sure, fancy tho O_O 21:15:34 that's good, do you just want to sync your wallet? 21:15:34 if you have the patience to troubleshoot why your node is not working I can try help you with that 21:15:41 @sashimi.:matrix.org: oh nvm i thought u were referring to xmr 21:15:44 @pettybird43:matrix.org: anyways, good luck on the troubleshooting! i having issues on my own rn with the wallets lmao 21:16:57 @sneedlewoods_xmr:matrix.org: yes please. this is the 2nd time ive used the wallet. first time was today after i downloaded the local node, it synched/connected fine then 21:18:03 @sashimi.:matrix.org: it does, as replies 21:18:18 @datahoarder: (gets bridged to IRC) 21:19:07 @pettybird43:matrix.org: so yeah just trying to sync and connect this bad boy 21:23:08 I think you might need special startup flags on tails > <@pettybird43:matrix.org> the log is giving me error: could not connec t to daemon:127.0.0.1:18081 21:23:36 Since tails restricts accessible port ranges on localhost 21:23:47 that was my hunch as well. what do u recommend 21:24:25 Would have to find the tails guides - j dont recall 21:24:26 1 sec 21:27:23 i used theonionpost's monero guide for tails...https://theonionpost.com/blog/cryptocurrency/monero-on-tails-step-by-step-instructions 21:27:24 it is telling me... 21:28:31 duck.ai mentioned ./monerod --data-dir /path_to_your_node_data --rpc-bind-ip 127.0.0.1 --rpc-bind-port 18081 --no-grpc....but i think that is AI slop... 21:32:26 https://github.com/monero-project/monero/#using-tor-on-tails 21:33:15 have to edit iptables 21:33:15 sudo iptables -I OUTPUT 2 -p tcp -d 127.0.0.1 -m tcp --dport 18081 -j ACCEPT 21:33:15 DNS_PUBLIC=tcp torsocks ./monerod --p2p-bind-ip 127.0.0.1 --no-igd --rpc-bind-ip 127.0.0.1 \[... more lines follow, see https://mrelay.p2pool.observer/e/5_PUjssKbDM5WHA4 ] 21:33:36 so remove iptables? 21:34:54 Run the first command there ^ 21:35:23 It will allow monero gui wallet to connect to the node that monero gui runs 21:37:10 when it means 'your directory to the blockchain' it is referring to where the blockchain is stored, not the gui, correct? 21:38:13 Yeah 21:38:52 On tails, you'll of course need to direct it to a persistent folder 21:39:12 Honestly though, id just use feather w/ built in remote onion nodes 21:39:27 I wouldn't waste my time running a node on tails 21:40:16 what i mean is, tails isnt (imo) the right os to be storing 100gbs of persistent data 21:40:26 yeah this is becoming a huge pain. i did that command and it started synch of the entire blockchain again, starting at zero. i do have the blockchain downloaded 21:41:15 The first command is just changing firewall rules 21:41:40 The second command parameter for --data-dir says where the blockchain is stored 21:41:44 fuuuuuu i see. that is my bad 21:42:11 people still using iptables in 2025 over ufw? way easier for newcomers... 21:42:20 just sayin 21:43:15 Its tails, youre not supposed to mess with the firewall 21:43:25 aw.. 21:43:44 (so ofc theyre not going to include a gui for it) 21:44:27 i just saw this, i have the local node stored on a separate usb ssd > <@ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> what i mean is, tails isnt (imo) the right os to be storing 100gbs of persistent data 21:49:45 ok, so when i type sudo iptables -I OUTPUT 2 -p tcp -d 127.0.0.1 -m tcp --dport 18081 -j ACCEPT.....i think i am inputting it into the wrong location. i tried in the persistent folder where gui is located and generally opening up terminal 21:49:45 21:50:31 ive come so far, it worked the first damn time, was hoping it would continue instead of trying a completely new route like feather. this really is not easy tbh 21:51:59 ill have to take a break for now, will mess around keep reading more. didnt see anything for the first hour of searching. will keep at it. thanks @ofrnxmr:xmr.mx @sashimi.:matrix.org 21:52:07 @sneedlewoods_xmr:matrix.org: 21:52:52 @pettybird43:matrix.org: feather is easy 21:53:06 i mean, dont ping me on that, i havent been of any help whatsoever lmao 21:53:06 rn am like, all those mobile wallets are just straight up garbo, not a single one working and might have lost 100% of my funds cause nerds building shits for nerds and is not even working LOL 21:53:11 Dont need to run a node, just open wallet and save wallet files to persistent folder 21:53:33 @sashimi.:matrix.org: Whats wrong with cake, monfluo, stack? 21:53:56 Or do you mean for other coins? 21:56:33 stake and monero dot org dont restore wallet 21:56:33 os is up to date but wallet wasnt, it was showing the transactions to the swap things but nothing else with balance at 0 21:56:33 so restoring from blockchain height from last year, not a single transaction showing on stack 21:56:33 rn on monero dot org (updated) it went to 91% then cause adhd or whatever did 1 "scroll" from top to bottom so it "refreshed" and stopped syncing so stuck at "connected" so retarded wallet, it did sync to 3% then stuck so just uninstall, reinstalled again and rn back at 91%, still not showing a single transaction for the past year 21:56:33 tho... CLI on desktop (which is few months behind on sync, says 10h left to sync) does show the transaction and balance and all that but in meantime am like "well, guess those funds are gone lmao" 21:57:25 (my bad for the edits for people on irc lol) 22:05:39 aight so 20mins for 0 -> 91% and now it says ETA 1h+ for 91% -> 100%, still not a single transaction showing tho 22:06:11 stack went to do a few hours nap, woke up, not a single transaction showing either 22:07:31 @sashimi.:matrix.org: You can change the eta -> blocks in the settings for cake 22:08:07 (and monero dotcom) 22:08:19 will it stop the sync and gets stuck at "connected" if i go in the settings for that? 😹 22:09:13 monero dot com* 22:09:13 my bad, that's the one 22:09:49 (sowry again for edit for people over at irc, stg i not tryna do the trolling LOL) 22:17:19 @sashimi.:matrix.org: It shouldnt 22:18:01 I agree that the swipe-down is too sensitive, and annoying. Causes sync to disconnect (and seems to fail to reconnect) as soon as you do it 22:20:45 2h left now... 22:20:45 ill just see with CLI at this point whenever it's synced 22:20:45 then if lucky and funds still there ill just move to a new address, do the churning yaddy yadda and send some of it to whatever mobile app for hot wallet on a new address there as well 22:20:45 not worth getting more gray hair over that shit by troubleshooting the untroubleshootable tbh... 22:22:57 5h left 😹 22:22:57 yea fuck that, just gonna wait on CLI 22:23:40 cli will pause when it finds a tx that belongs to the wallet 22:24:01 monfluo mobile wallet works well and stays unlocked and syncing 22:25:28 7h left for CLI (daemon sync) 22:25:28 will check again wallet after daemon fully sync, but it did show the transactions (with not fully synced daemon) 22:25:28 just, who knows if cake lost those funds in the past week or so, so, gotta wait on daemon there... 22:25:55 cant wait for outgoing viewkeys to work so can just have that one mobile to make sure funds are safu u know
