I have updated the GUI from 0.17.1.1 to 0.17.1.4 and now when I launch it
I have the warning:
"Wallet is not connected to daemon"
And then:
"Daemon failed to start
Timed out, local node is not responding after 120 seconds.
Please check your wallet and daemon log for errors. You can also start to try monerod.exe manually"
Why is that?
Have you already tried rebooting your system? Also, do you use a custom data directory for the blockchain?
Sorry to answer to this only now, I had to work on other stuff meanwhile. I am still stuck at the same point. I have updated the GUI to v0.17.1.8 and the Ledger app to 1.7.4.
And still the error message:
"Daemon failed to start
Timed out, local node is not responding after 120 seconds.
Please check your wallet and daemon log for errors. You can also start to try monerod.exe manually"
And trying to launch monerod.exe manually doesn't work.
So yes indeed, the data directory for the blockchain is not at the same place than the GUI software. My C:\ hard drive is an SSD which is full, so it looks like the blockchain data went to D:\bitmonero\... while the GUI software is within C:\
So what should I do? Reinstall everything on my D:\ hard drive? But since this is not a SSD, the synchronisation will take forever
