1.34.1 to 1.35.0 fails Cabal Coincashew Installs

Staking & Delegation Operate a Stake Pool

I tried to upgrade my relay first from 1.34.1 to 1.35.0 and fails. I have restored snapshots to prior install but seems to be stuck at epoch 364 and now attempting it again from cardano-stakepool-1.34.1-to-1.35.0.md · GitHub

Hi,

Mainnet or testnet?

You shouldn’t go to 1.35.0, but to 1.35.3. There were some bugs fixed on the way to Vasil.

Only for the old testnet, 1.35.2 is needed, but that should not be used anymore. Use the new preview and preprod testnets instead (with 1.35.3): https://book.world.dev.cardano.org/environments.html

Hello, mainnet

5

Should I try the 1.35.0 to 1.35.3 upgrade even though I am on 1.34.1?

6

I don’t immediately see anything speaking against it. Cannot judge on the quality of that source.

In general, you can nearly always just do a new installation and then put in your saved keys and pool configuration.

7

As @HeptaSean said… use 1.35.3 version

8

I followed the following instructions but it still thinks it is 1.34.1.

9

Did the commands in the “Installing 1.35.3” section work? Do you have old binaries somewhere else? What does which -a cardano-node or which -a cardano-cli say? Do you have an absolute path to some other binary in your systemd units that start the node?

10

which -a cardano-node
/usr/local/bin/cardano-node
which -a cardano-cli
/usr/local/bin/cardano-cli

11

And:

What does cardano-cli --version say?

12

Ran it install again so I could capture the failures.

sudo cp $(find $HOME/git/cardano-node-1.35.3/dist-newstyle/build -type f -name “cardano-cli”) /usr/local/bin/cardano-cli
find: ‘/home/trusted/git/cardano-node-1.35.3/dist-newstyle/build’: No such file or directory

cp: missing destination file operand after ‘/usr/local/bin/cardano-cli’
Try ‘cp --help’ for more information.
trusted@ribeye:~/cardano-my-node$ cp: missing destination file operand after '/us

13

It seems the build was not successful.

Did you get any errors from cabal build cardano-cli cardano-node cardano-submit-api?

Maybe, secp256k1 is missing. That’s the only step from https://gist.github.com/QCPOLstakepool/68389e26c0abf1b093414ea33038ba53#install-secp256k1 that would be necessary, since they did not put it in there 1.35.3 guide.

14

ran secp256k1
then tried building 1.35.3

cabal build cardano-cli cardano-node cardano-submit-api
fatal: destination path ‘cardano-node-1.35.3’ already exists and is not an empty directory.

Why don’t you use the official build instructions from Github?
https://github.com/input-output-hk/cardano-node/blob/master/doc/getting-started/install.md/
Or even better, why don’t you use the binaries provided by IOG?
You can find the link to them in the release notes for 1.35.3 (Release Cardano Node 1.35.3 · input-output-hk/cardano-node · GitHub): Hydra - Build 17428084 of job Cardano:cardano-node-bors-staging:linux.musl.cardano-node-linux
https://hydra.iohk.io/build/17428084/download/1/cardano-node-1.35.3-linux.tar.gz
Extract the file, copy cardano-cli and cardano-node to /usr/local/bin and this is it. They are statically built, so you won’t need any other dependency.

17

There is a guide available on the forum posted by @ DevJohn. You should take a look, maybe it helps:

It mostly worked, except my BP thinks it is a relay now. Need to figure that out quickly.

20

It doesn’t show peers on either on the Relay or BP. The BP thinks its a relay and both show epoch 0. At least both show 1.35.3 :slight_smile:
