Topic: Stuck opneing bitcoind (Read 115 times)

I see you already figure out and fix the problem. But take note you can't run both GUI and bitcoind at same time, where you will get this error message.

Thanks for the response.

Thanks to it I figure out that the main reason of the error was that there was an typo error in the folder. Instead of bitcoin I defined bitcoind.

Is now solved. Thanks!

I'm not much of a linux guy, but this error line looks to me as being the meaningful one.
Does bitcoin use this same data directory when ran normally (ie. does the folder really exist?)
What can be the reasons sudo cannot access that folder? Maybe you can chown/chmod there or set up a different data folder that can be accessed by both?

Again, I'm not that much into linux and I may be wrong.

Dear all,

I did an installation of Bitcoin Core 23.0 and I manged to download all the blockchain. Every time I access to the GUI it works perfectly but when I try to access "sudo systemctl start bitcoind", I got this error:

Job for bitcoind.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status bitcoind.service" and "journalctl -xeu bitcoind.service" for details.

If I check journalctl this is the outcome:

goldasbtc@btcnode:~/.bitcoin$ journalctl -xeu bitcoind.service
