Hello there.
I am new to the world of Umbrel, and am having issues with the installations. I am hoping some of the community would be able to answer my questions to help me set up and run a node.
Background: I had a lot of issues with the Umbrel Home out of the box, but was able to overcome these via accessing the device via the IP not [http://umbrel.local](http://umbrel.local) (on a Mac) and then reflashing the SSD to enable me to download apps ([my original query here](https://community.umbrel.com/t/issue-with-umbrel-home-out-of-the-box/15342/2)). I am not sure if this in pertinent to the issues I am now facing or not - but I thought I would include for context.
I am trying to now setup Spector to circumvent the need to set up SatStack to connect my ledger live.
I am running into the following issues:
**Specter encountered an error:**
**Specter exited with exit code 1. Check the logs in the menu for more details.**
Does anyone know what this means?
I have downloaded the Spector logs and will past them into a reply comment to his post.

Here is the Spector log (copied into a txt file).

**Update**
I have also tried to reinstall Specter Desktop without any luck.
Additional items I tried (with the help of the SpecterCommunity) are:
- I deleted the files ~/Library/application support/Specter
- I removed the \< user \>/.specter folder (using Cmd + Shift + . to reveal hidden files)
- I disconnected the node from ledger setting/experimental features/connect bitcoin full node
Just waiting on some work to finish processing, then I will **restart the Mac and try again** this worked.
If anyone else has had a similar issue I would be really grateful to hear what you tried.
