Hi, I’ve been running a lightning node for almost a year and for the moment every problem I’ve had I have been able to solve it by either reboot the system or checking the community.getumbrel. Today I was going to make a LN transaction and the LNode did not start. After checking I realized that the…

So, i managed to fixe it In the directory ./umbrel/app-data/bitcoin/data/bitcoin there’s a file named “settings.json” I wrote “nano settings.json” to access the file. Inside I simply wrote {} pressed “control X” and saved the file. Reboot and the node was synchronizing again Hope it helps someo…

I just tried this, but it doesn’t appear to have worked for me. My Node stopped syncing after it lost power without shutting down properly. I’ve tried a sudo reboot and your suggestion but no luck yet.

Good evening, I had to restart my node a couple of times and now the bitcoin node won’t start. I am a beginner and not sure if I have the same problem. As described above. The debug script did not find anything, so far I understood. A proper restart brings nothing. After login I always see the same …

Hello, I do not understand, I can easily log in via browser but in the console my password is wrong? The node runs on a Pi4 and I use Manjaro as the main computer. Can someone help me please? LG

do you have containers stuck in a startup loop? ssh in docker container ls -a look for ones starting up over and over

if you can tell me what youve done what happened that may have caused the issue were you synced? did power go out? can you uninstall and reinstall? details

First you’ll want to check the debug logs (see Generating Troubleshooting Logs here ), if this is still occurring it’s usually one of three errors a corrupted blockchain error that looks like: LevelDB read failure: Corruption: block checksum mismatch: /data/.bitcoin/chainstate/1066593.ldb Solution …

follow what usernameisJim suggests but you can probably save your chain. I believe in those troubleshooting tips will be a way to recheck it. hopefully you wont have to start over from scratch unless catastrophic disk failure
