Hi Alex, Thanks, I have installed ubuntu on vmware and installed the node on it. When I start gLiveview.sh it shows an error: \e[31mFailed to query protocol-parameters from node , not fully started?\e[0m press any key to proceed … I have no clue what I should do to import my hw wallet and pledge it, do you have any guides or can you tell me what to search for?? Thanks a lot ---

Wait for the node to start and sync… After that u can go to cntools - wallet - import - hw … I think before u must run the prereqs again but this time with -w option Cheers, ---

Thanks Alex, but I got a new error while syncing the node Looks like cardano-node is running with socket-path as /opt/cardano/cnode/sockets/node0.socket, but the actual socket file does not exist. This could occur if the node hasnt completed startup or if a second instance of node startup was attempted! If this does not resolve automatically in a few minutes, you might want to restart your node and try again. Hope you can help me out ---
