3 days ago I pushed the button to update Bitcoin Core. For 3 days it has been hanging with the message: “Stopping this may take a while…”
should I continue to wait or is it safe to hard restart the computer?
I’m running on a refurbished HP purchsed from Start9
After restarting the computer now LND is stuck. After syncing LND says it is started but health checks says “synched starting…”
I have rebooted the computer twice and can’t get past this. It has been going on for a few days now and I’m concened I’m going to loose all my channel connections.
I checked the LND logs:
2024-03-23T10:08:53-04:00 Waiting for bitcoin RPC…
2024-03-23T10:09:09-04:00 Waiting for bitcoin RPC…
…
Bitcoin Core log:
2024-03-23T10:10:46-04:00 2024-03-23T14:10:46Z ThreadRPCServer incorrect password attempt from 172.18.0.148:36552
I never changed any password.
Sounds like you might have come from a Bitcoin Core installation from a couple of versions ago with different RPC password requirements – it has affected a small number of users.
A simple fix is to open Config for the LND service, change nothing but click to Save. It should then restart and work.
I am having the same issue here with Embassy Pro (Server Pure). Bitcoin Core update hanging for over 24 hours “stopping this may take a while”.
So, this morning I hit “restart” under system settings and heard the beeps of it shutting down then restarting but now it never connects again. If I try to select anything in my browser I get the message (gateway timeout).
I have tried to reboot also by unplugging the server and plugging back in. No luck.
I would try ther “system rebuild” option but you would have to establish a connection first.
Any ideas what to try next?
No need to mess around with your server, the issue is your client.
