Hello Community,
After upgrading to 1.33.0 I am unable to start my node. See the attached error. For some reason it thinks I’m on v1.29.0 even though cardano-node --version and cardano-cli --version says 1.33.0
This is the process I used to update the node:
Update Build Server
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo reboot
Update Cabal and GHC using GHCup
curl --proto ‘=https’ --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://get-ghcup.haskell.org | sh
ghcup install ghc 9.2.1
update cabal
Update scripts
/opt/cardano/cnode/script/cntools.sh
/opt/cardano/cnode/script/topologyUpdater.sh
Run prereqs script:
~/tmp/prereqs.sh -f
Reset all variables after updating
Build New Version of Cardano
sudo systemctl stop cnode
cd ~/git
sudo rm -R cardano-node
git clone GitHub - input-output-hk/cardano-node: The core component that is used to participate in a Cardano decentralised blockchain.
cd cardano-node
git fetch --tags --all
git tag
git checkout 1.33.0
echo -e “package cardano-crypto-praos\n flags: -external-libsodium-vrf” > cabal.project.local
$CNODE_HOME/scripts/cabal-build-all.sh
Confirm Correct Version
cardano-node version
cardano-cli version
Looks like systemd finds another version of cardano-node
than your shell.
Can you show the cnode.service
file that is actually starting the node and the output of whereis cardano-node
and which cardano-node
?
Hi @HeptaSean, thanks for your reply.
Indeed it seems I have cardano at two locations (whereis cardano-node):
cardano-node: /home/demetrio/.cabal/bin/cardano-node /home/demetrio/.local/bin/cardano-node
(which cardano-node)
/home/demetrio/.cabal/bin/cardano-node
cnode.sevice:

Does it work if you just remove the one in ~/.local/bin/
(the one in ~/.cabal/bin/
seems to be the right one)?
I tried:
sudo rm -R /home/demetrio/.local/bin/cardano-node
whereis
now shows:
cardano-node: /home/demetrio/.cabal/bin/cardano-node
after rebooting the server the same errors starting cnode. It’s weird because if I run:
/opt/cardano/cnode/scripts$ ./cnode.sh
it seems to start fine:

The same? Wrong version, even though wrong version was just removed?
Anyway, you could a) debug, why you have another $PATH
on the shell than the one cnode.sh
gets in the systemd unit (do you perhaps use another shell than bash
and set the path in its startup file and not in .bashrc
?) or b) just copy the cardano-node
binary over into .local/bin/
.
Another debug possibility: The systemd unit uses bash -l
. If you execute that in your terminal (go into a bash login shell) and do whereis cardano-node
there and try /opt/cardano/cnode/scripts/cnode.sh
there, you maybe get a hint, what’s happening.
Also: If there’s also an old cardano-cli
and maybe others in .local/bin/
, I would remove/replace them, too, to not leave too much of a mess for the next update.
Awesome advice. I deleted all the other cardano related files in
.local/bin
and it started. Thank you so much.
