IPFS dead and unrestartable on Mac OS X

[jbrukh]

Unexpectedly, the IPFS connection went dead at some point:

Turning the service back on has no effect:

I'm experiencing this as-well. Although my error seems to be subtly different.

Ethereum connects and syncs fine but seems to timeout during the IPFS connection (first screenshot). When I click the IPFS icon, on the next screen I'm not able to click the IPFS service toggle button in the bottom left. (second screenshot)

macOS version: 10.11.6 (15G1108)

I am having the same problem. Searching for IPFS in the activity monitor shows that it is not running, so the advice to stop it there and restart Akasha does not work.

Still happening in 0.3.0.

[arobbins]

Still happening for me as-well. App is unusable on macOS.

Hey @arobbins can you check the logs tab from ipfs modal? Click ipfs icon and navigate to logs tab. Can you post any logs from there? Make sure to remove/hide any personal data like ip or user from logs.

Thanks

I figured out the issue on my end. Port 8080 was being used by another application, namely parity UI daemon in my case. I went through the process of turning the daemon off, and then Akasha operates.
