Is this an instance you recently set-up, or has it been running for a while? May I also ask what type of device you’re running umbrelOS on? Firstly, I would suggest just giving the page a quick refresh. ---

I have been having this instance for more than 2 years. I have tried to refresh but to no avail. I am using Umbrel Bitcoin machine. Please find attached the photo. ![20240522_160354](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/getumbrel/original/2X/8/8f2f6a7a69a3dc177a3b260f8a24c655eaaea01e.jpeg) Also, just now during my recent try i was able to SSH into my umbrel machine using the command “ssh -t umbrel@umbrel.local” Given that i am able to SSH to my umbrel node how can i recover the node? ---

I see. I would try these steps: 1. Open a terminal window on your computer. On macOS, you can open the Terminal app that’s installed by default on every Mac. On Windows, you can open Command Prompt or the PowerShell app. 2. Type in the following command `ssh -t umbrel@umbrel.local` and press the Enter key 3. Run `sudo reboot` Just to help us troubleshoot, did you recently update to umbrelOS 1.1? Then I can give you the right command for generating troubleshooting logs. ---

No I did not update to umbrelOS 1.1. Also when i run “sudo reboot” command i do not see any resposne from the node. It just comes back to the command prompt as per attached screenshot ![Screenshot 2024-05-22 204045-reboot-screenshot](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/getumbrel/original/2X/e/e5a3ac8e90e2297f9047da17a24f4f9b18bedc7a.jpeg) ---

I’ve also been having facing this issue for the past few days. Switching on and off works for 5 min and then I get this ![Screenshot_20240522_153843_DuckDuckGo](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/getumbrel/original/2X/7/7805772bed488060a560127ff8c935ca1ce4d5b7.jpeg) ---

Hi, I recently updated to umbrel OS 1.1 and am able to currently get into my restored node but it appears very slow and Bitcoin node shows blank screen for long long time. Also after some time the whole machine hangs and nothing works. I have been trying to get my node working for a few weeks now and it is very frustrating to keep getting into issues. I am absolutely worried about the funds i have on this lightning node. I am no where close to getting my lightning node working. Can you please help?
