also for nicks, and other stuff, but ends up with cases like someone named wallet :D

hello. i am having synchronization issues with the monero local node. 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?
20:33:14
pettybird43:matrix.org:
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
sneedlewoods_xmr:matrix.org:
pettybird43 can you go to Settings->Log and enter "status" without quotes
20:58:22
pettybird43:matrix.org:
the log is giving me error: could not connec t to daemon:127.0.0.1:18081
20:58:38
pettybird43:matrix.org:
oh i just saw ur message needlewoods
20:58:41
pettybird43:matrix.org:
ok let me try
21:00:04
pettybird43:matrix.org:
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
sneedlewoods_xmr:matrix.org:
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
pettybird43:matrix.org:
as in, try to connect to a remote node to see if that even works?
21:04:42
sneedlewoods_xmr:matrix.org:
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
sneedlewoods_xmr:matrix.org:
your daemon does not connect to other daemons, stupid general support question: does your tails have an internet connection
21:07:13
pettybird43:matrix.org:
tails is connected to the internet. let me try this remote node
21:07:38
pettybird43:matrix.org:
as im looking, is monero alwyas going to be this complicated? will it ever get easier?
21:08:42
pettybird43:matrix.org:
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
Cindy:
that's an unrelated warning
21:09:03
Cindy:
you can ignore it
21:10:06
pettybird43:matrix.org:
Cindy: when i tried that, i had let it sit there for 5min and nothing happened, is that expected/am I impatient?

@pettybird43:matrix.org: fancy matrix thread O_O
21:11:20
sashimi.:matrix.org:
@sashimi.:matrix.org: does it even get bridged to irc?
21:12:22
pettybird43:matrix.org:
@sashimi.:matrix.org: sorry what is irc, this is my 2nd time trying to start the gui
21:12:59
pettybird43:matrix.org:
@sneedlewoods_xmr:matrix.org: the gui connects to the remote node
21:13:32
pettybird43:matrix.org:
@pettybird43:matrix.org: i am a noob ill own it!
21:14:06
sashimi.:matrix.org:
@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
sneedlewoods_xmr:matrix.org:
that's good, do you just want to sync your wallet?
21:15:34
sneedlewoods_xmr:matrix.org:
if you have the patience to troubleshoot why your node is not working I can try help you with that
21:15:41
pettybird43:matrix.org:
@sashimi.:matrix.org: oh nvm i thought u were referring to xmr
21:15:44
sashimi.:matrix.org:
@pettybird43:matrix.org: anyways, good luck on the troubleshooting! i having issues on my own rn with the wallets lmao
21:16:58
pettybird43:matrix.org:
@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
datahoarder:
@sashimi.:matrix.org: it does, as replies

pettybird43:matrix.org:
@pettybird43:matrix.org: so yeah just trying to sync and connect this bad boy
21:23:08
ofrnxmr:xmr.mx:
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
ofrnxmr:xmr.mx:
Since tails restricts accessible port ranges on localhost
21:23:47
pettybird43:matrix.org:
that was my hunch as well. what do u recommend
21:24:25
ofrnxmr:xmr.mx:
Would have to find the tails guides - j dont recall
21:24:26
ofrnxmr:xmr.mx:

pettybird43:matrix.org:
i used theonionpost's monero guide for tails...https://theonionpost.com/blog/cryptocurrency/monero-on-tails-step-by-step-instructions
21:27:24
pettybird43:matrix.org:
it is telling me...
21:28:31
pettybird43:matrix.org:
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
ofrnxmr:xmr.mx:
https://github.com/monero-project/monero/#using-tor-on-tails
21:33:15
ofrnxmr:xmr.mx:
have to edit iptables
21:33:15
ofrnxmr:xmr.mx:
sudo iptables -I OUTPUT 2 -p tcp -d 127.0.0.1 -m tcp --dport 18081 -j ACCEPT
21:33:15
ofrnxmr:xmr.mx:
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
pettybird43:matrix.org:
so remove iptables?
21:34:54
ofrnxmr:xmr.mx:
Run the first command there ^
21:35:23
ofrnxmr:xmr.mx:
It will allow monero gui wallet to connect to the node that monero gui runs
21:37:10
pettybird43:matrix.org:
when it means 'your directory to the blockchain' it is referring to where the blockchain is stored, not the gui, correct?
21:38:13
ofrnxmr:xmr.mx:
Yeah
21:38:52
ofrnxmr:xmr.mx:
On tails, you'll of course need to direct it to a persistent folder
21:39:12
ofrnxmr:xmr.mx:
Honestly though, id just use feather w/ built in remote onion nodes
21:39:27
ofrnxmr:xmr.mx:
I wouldn't waste my time running a node on tails
21:40:16
ofrnxmr:xmr.mx:
what i mean is, tails isnt (imo) the right os to be storing 100gbs of persistent data
21:40:26
pettybird43:matrix.org:
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
ofrnxmr:xmr.mx:
The first command is just changing firewall rules
21:41:40
ofrnxmr:xmr.mx:
The second command parameter for --data-dir says where the blockchain is stored
21:41:44
pettybird43:matrix.org:
fuuuuuu i see. that is my bad
21:42:11
sashimi.:matrix.org:
people still using iptables in 2025 over ufw? way easier for newcomers...
21:42:20
sashimi.:matrix.org:
just sayin
21:43:15
ofrnxmr:xmr.mx:
Its tails, youre not supposed to mess with the firewall
21:43:25
sashimi.:matrix.org:
aw..
21:43:44
ofrnxmr:xmr.mx:
(so ofc theyre not going to include a gui for it)
21:44:27
pettybird43:matrix.org:
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
pettybird43:matrix.org:
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
pettybird43:matrix.org:
22:05:39
sashimi.:matrix.org:
aight so 20mins for 0 -> 91% and now it says ETA 1h+ for 91% -> 100%, still not a single transaction showing tho
22:06:12
sashimi.:matrix.org:
stack went to do a few hours nap, woke up, not a single transaction showing either
22:07:32
ofrnxmr:xmr.mx:
@sashimi.:matrix.org: You can change the eta -> blocks in the settings for cake
22:08:07
ofrnxmr:xmr.mx:
(and monero dotcom)
22:09:13
sashimi.:matrix.org:
monero dot com*
22:09:13
sashimi.:matrix.org:
my bad, that's the one
22:09:49
sashimi.:matrix.org:
(sowry again for edit for people over at irc, stg i not tryna do the trolling LOL)
22:17:19
ofrnxmr:xmr.mx:
@sashimi.:matrix.org: It shouldnt
22:18:01
ofrnxmr:xmr.mx:
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
sashimi.:matrix.org:
2h left now...
22:20:45
sashimi.:matrix.org:
ill just see with CLI at this point whenever it's synced
22:20:45
sashimi.:matrix.org:
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
sashimi.:matrix.org:
not worth getting more gray hair over that shit by troubleshooting the untroubleshootable tbh...
22:22:57
sashimi.:matrix.org:
5h left 😹
22:22:57
sashimi.:matrix.org:
yea fuck that, just gonna wait on CLI
22:23:40
ofrnxmr:xmr.mx:
cli will pause when it finds a tx that belongs to the wallet
22:24:01
ofrnxmr:xmr.mx:
monfluo mobile wallet works well and stays unlocked and syncing
22:25:28
sashimi.:matrix.org:
7h left for CLI (daemon sync)
22:25:28
sashimi.:matrix.org:
will check again wallet after daemon fully sync, but it did show the transactions (with not fully synced daemon)
22:25:28
sashimi.:matrix.org:
just, who knows if cake lost those funds in the past week or so, so, gotta wait on daemon there...
22:25:55
sashimi.:matrix.org:
cant wait for outgoing viewkeys to work so can just have that one mobile to make sure funds are safu u know
