I got my wallet on Mac OSX 10.13.2 to work again. There was a stale lock file which caused the “Connecting to network…” issue. I did the following:
Close Daedalus
Open a terminal.
cd ~/Library/Application Support/Daedalus/Wallet-1.0
rm open.lock
Edit: Ok in step 3 it is not exactly straightforward because of the space between the words Application and Support directory, since there is a space you have to add a backslash. You will have to type step 3 like this:
Step 3. cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Daedalus/Wallet-1.0
Sorry for having to copy and paste this here, I had answered elsewhere already.
I deleted the files and it worked. But after loading it asked I create a new wallet or restore. I tried to restore and it’s showing error with a notification that i’m trying to restore an existing wallet.
OK…now i’m confused.
I’ve had the same issue for days.
To me it looks like the wallet doesn’t launch because it gets no response from the node.js server.
It doesn’t get any response because the node.js server hasn’t launched because it is looking for some binary file ending in .sst as per entries in cardano-node.log;
"[Attention] We are in PRODUCTION mode
[Attention] Software is built with wallet part
System start time is 1506203091000000
Current time is 1516103884809956
Wallet is enabled!
Using configs and genesis:
ConfigurationOptions {cfoFilePath = “C:\Program Files\Daedalus\\configuration.yaml”, cfoKey = “mainnet_wallet_win64”, cfoSystemStart = Nothing}
walletServeImpl initWsConnection
cardano-node.exe: user error (get: IO error: NewRandomAccessFile failed to Create/Open: C:\Users\Andy\AppData\Roaming\Daedalus\DB-1.0\gState/000306.sst: The system cannot find the file specified.
)
"
Is this some file that holds a saved state, config or something like that ?
The only .sst file in that directory is 000308.sst
Anyway just a suggestion, apologies if it is a red herring.
same issue here. Please help. I just wanted to deposit the coins from exchange but it seems the wallet stuck in connecting to network. Makes me think twice on the reliability of the wallet. It would be disastrous if someone needed to withdraw the coins from the wallet in case of emergency.
People, it’s no good just saying “same here, please help”, you need to try at least some of the things suggested above and tell us exactly what happened. This is an early version of the wallet and I’m sure later ones will work better. Meanwhile, your coins are on the blockchain and perfectly safe as long as you have the 12 word phrase.
I am literally so disappointed with Cardano… Deadulus wallet is the biggest disaster of all time. I have essentially been locked out for months now have tried everything to no avail… I tried to recover my wallet and since then, it has been stuck on “connecting to network”. Three effing months people. What happened to this great team? How are we suppose to support you when clearly everyone is having wallet issues and you refuse to fix the fucking thing. Shame on you. The second I can access my wallet I am selling all of my cardano that is a fact.
