Connecting to wallet screen

parmen · December 3, 2021, 11:41am

I restarted the computer. chia no longer works. It stops at the connecting to wallet screen and the ring spins forever. I had a backup of the driver, I went back a week with it, but it still does not connect to the wallet. The bad news is I can’t find the mnemonic. Is there a way to run chia properly or find mnemonic?
my log file looks like this

What OS and version of chia are you running?

Assuming you did not yet setup the encryption of keys introduced in v1.2.11 (or did but remember the passphrase used), you can do the following cli-command to show mnemonics.

chia keys show --show-mnemonic-seed

noting those carefully I would then reboot and install latest version but up to you;-)

Well, now you have me.
I use Ubuntu Linux and know little about chia on windows.
You have to use Powershell to be able to communicate with the chia client by command line interface (cli).
Plenty of people here using windows and also cli, so hopefully someone can fill in.

did i do something wrong

drhicom · December 3, 2021, 1:39pm

try here,

cd ~\AppData\Local\chia-blockchain\app-1.2.11\resources\app.asar.unpacked\daemon\

xkredr59 · December 3, 2021, 1:42pm

Fill in your version as used in the path. 1.2.11 is the latest indeed but maybe @parmen uses an older version.

drhicom · December 3, 2021, 1:42pm

I just try this and it gave me a bunch of my keys

.\chia keys show

drhicom · December 3, 2021, 1:44pm

Yes you have to correct the version number I’m using 1.2.11 waiting for 12

xkredr59 · December 3, 2021, 1:45pm

yep, @parmen needs to use

.\chia keys show --show-mnemonic-seed
instead of
chia keys show --show-mnemonic-seed

As in the suggestion with the error.

So now I know a little bit about windows client cli also

I play with Linux twice a year, used it at work (Suze Linux) for VOIP systems, used to work for Siemens. Now my brain is getting flushed every week.

parmen · December 3, 2021, 2:05pm

I owe you all gratitude. I was afraid for a moment that I would have to rewrite 120 tb.

drhicom · December 3, 2021, 2:15pm

And when your Chia is shut down and you have rebooted your system I copied the two folders to a backup USB drive for CYA

Just to make sure I have a backup for me.

Sorry

the .chia and .chia_keys
