hello, I am new to the field and have now managed to install the cardano-node on ubuntu. When I want to start the node, it keeps trying to activating. I would be very glad for any help.

:~/git/cardano-node$ sudo systemctl status cnode
● cnode.service - Cardano Node

Ok, try
sudo systemctl restart cnode
journalctl -e -f -u cnode
and share the outputs since last restart

Alludes to some misconfiguration, like misconfigured paths

Hi I’m at work atm, I will try it as soon as I’m at home. Just for information, like I said I’m completely new, I needed the whole weekend to read some basics and install the node. Probably it’s a simple issue

Thanks

okey here is the output:

ok, so manually its working… then should be an issue with systemd

which guide did u followed?

12

also I have a guide how to install … but first I will recommend to make a fresh OS installation

FOR STEP 2

  • replace 1.25.1 with 1.33.0
    git checkout 1.33.0

  • do not run the command (skip it):
    git pull origin master

Cheers,

thank you so much for taking the time, i really appreciate it! i have used several guides as most have used older versions. most of the info i got from here:

i also could not install Guild LiveView until now

14

perfect i will set it up with your guide, can i use it to mint token and nft’s also, or just for the staking pool? Sorry for beeing such a noob

15

you will be able because you will run the commands manually

you want to start a pool or just to configure a passive node?

I beilieve you will not need my guide… this should be almost the same…
can u check if inside the scripts folder if you have the ./set-as-systemd.sh script?

question: did u installed 1.33.0 version?

16

atm im not planing to start a pool, i just want to mint tokens and nft’s and i want to become familiar with the whole network

where should the scripts folder be located?

17

cd $CNODE_HOME/scripts
ls -l

18

yes i did installed 1.33.0

19

cd $CNODE_HOME/scripts
ls -l
bash: cd: /opt/cardano/cnode/scripts: No such file or directory
