Someone on Telegram helped me fix the problem. He told me to use this command in Terminal/SSH: `sudo systemctl stop umbrel-startup.service && docker system prune --force --all && sudo systemctl start umbrel-startup.service` Running my node now! 🙂 ---

None of this worked for me. Instead, I removed the microSD from my Raspberry Pi 4b and re-flashed Umbrel OS image again following the normal steps at [getumbrel.com](https://getumbrel.com/#start). It took like 10 minutes and as everything was in my SSD, my node was already synced and my wallet working fine. ---

Trying @farl command, I am getting the same error as @dlevens . I tried re-flashing like frank suggested with no luck either. Anyone have an other ideas?

DarthCoin suggested in telegram it was a hardware issue. I ended up replacing the power cord and the cord to the SSD. One of those seemed to fixed the issue. Thanks again @DarthCoin ---

I had this issue and discovered that I needed to initialize my SSD then format. I did this on a Windows machine and it solved the problem. You’ll need to treat it as a new drive in Disk Management by initializing and creating an MBR partition. Then format the drive and reconnect to RPi ---

It is weird that this command is not found. Instead of systemctl stop umbrel-startup, you could try ``` service umbrel-startup stop ``` and see how it goes. Also make sure you have sudo rights. ---

Not sure it was the same problem, but I tried the afore-mentioned solution, and I had to complement it with another solution of this forum: ``` cd umbrel rm -f .env && ./scripts/configure ``` then ``` ./scripts/start ``` The latter command failed because some manager was already started, but actually, the umbrel web UI was working fine again, after that. PS: all these commands are run in sudo mode.
