Hi,

i have a problem with my Umbrel Node.

The LND daemon restarts repeatedly every several minutes and the only lightning Channel i have does not get online. I looked in the Logfiles and found this:

2022-02-03 16:32:13.741 [INF] LTND: Waiting for chain backend to finish sync, start\_height=721658  
lnd | **panic: unable to synchronize wallet to chain: failed to fetch block hash for height 710764: block not found**  
lnd |  
lnd | goroutine 361 [running]:  
lnd | [github.com/btcsuite/btcwallet/wallet.(\*Wallet).handleChainNotifications(0x4002c87560)](http://github.com/btcsuite/btcwallet/wallet.(*Wallet).handleChainNotifications(0x4002c87560))

As a new User i cannot attach my debug-log to this post ☹

What can i do to fix this LND issue?

Thanks in advance.

This is a link to my Logfile in my Dropbox:

Hey there, have you tried restarting yet? The only thing that I’m seeing is that you’re running out of memory due to your 2GB RAM, have you installed any additional apps recently prior to this issue occurring?

Did you try to re-flash the mSD card?

My umbrel shows no transactions in the bitcoin wallet. Seconds later, the transactions are displayed again. The status is constantly changing. Do you have the same issue?

@phlippie , do a reflash of SD card with last version, an also do a complete firmware and software update of RaspPi.  
To check firmware version use command ‘sudo rpi-eeprom-update’ and follow the instructions to update if needed.  
To check software version use command ‘sudo apt update’ , then update with ‘sudo apt full-upgrade’  
Restart Umbrel after each updates.

Did you try accessing from different browser? same issue?

did you try checking what’s happening in the channel(s) from [1ml.com](http://1ml.com) or similars?

If all the above did not change anything or provide any insight, did you have a channel backup?

</div>

I used my channel Backup. All Channels are closed or closing. I did this with Blixt App.  
At the moment i only have a fraction of my bitcoins back. Now I have to wait…

</div>

If you already closed the channels and recover funds in Blixt, do not start again your Umbrel with the same seed.  
Start from scratch with new instance, new nodeID, all fresh.  
Be sure you do not have hardware failures.

Current status after 23 hours:  
I forgot to enable tor.  
Nearly all channels closed. A few are closing. Zero Bitcoin recovered. ☹  
I have to wait and will report.

The onchain wallet is not shown on the main screen of Blixt. Go to top left drawer and select onchain. There you will see the onchain txs.  
Main screen is only for LN.  
You can just use Blixt with those funds as a companion of your new Umbrel node.
