failed to get output distribution

[m9ra]

After upgrading my monero tools to reflect PoW change, I'm getting the following errors anytime I try to make a transfer through monero-wallet-rpc.

<Response [200]>
{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": "0",
    "error": {
        "message": "failed to get output distribution",
        "code": -4
    }
}

and in the wallet I can see this:

2018-04-07 22:36:54.664 [RPC0] ERROR wallet.wallet2 src/wallet/wallet2.cpp:5836 segregation_fork_height - d.start_height >= d.distribution.size(). THROW EXCEPTION: error::get_output_distribution

I tried to renew blockchain (deleting ~/.bitmonero and importing it from scratch) and the same error remains.

I have the same error after hard fork. Completely impossible to send any transaction. Please help.

[moneromooo-monero]

Try #3584

[m9ra]

Thank you, I accepted the pull request locally and after recompilation, the transfers are working.

[egonson]

I have the same error too. ("failed to get output distribution")
Is #3584 the official solution?
If someone does not fetch is the error normal?
Why is that code commited to master branch?

[moneromooo-monero]

It is a good solution. We have no offices. I don't understand the third question. It is not committed to master yet.

[BKdilse]

I'm also getting this today, on my 1st block. Do we have an official solution? Or and ETA on release?

[moneromooo-monero]

Did you try 3584, and did it work ?

[BKdilse]

Not really good with these merges and pulls, still learning. Do I have to manually make the change to the file on my server, or just do a fresh download?

EDIT: Can see, it's not in the latest master, have downloaded it, edited, compiling.

[BKdilse]

Can confirm this change fixes my issue too.

[moneromooo-monero]

Great, thanks for testing.

How can I get the build this is in? I can't send anything from my wallet. I have the release build v12 on Ubuntu 16.04. I am not sure how to use git to just pull in this PR

[scoobybejesus]

@shnetinka I just did this. In the monero dir, git pull origin pull/3584/head. Then make.

@moneromooo-monero I had this problem (with monero-wallet-cli 2 hours ago (while it tried to communicate with my local node, on the same box, no less), and after building with #3584 I no longer have the problem.

[BKdilse]

This may or may not be related, but I wanted to mention it in case this change caused the issue I had. Full details in: Snipa22/nodejs-pool#397

1st block paid out fine, after I made this manual change (adding * 1000) to the timeout.
2nd block paid out, but would not update the tables in SQL.

I did increase limits in Ubuntu and MySQL which could have resolved it, but I saw everything working once I updated to the latest Daemon, which does not have this manual fix in (which I initially tested working).

Please let me know your thoughts.

[shnetinka]

@scoobybejesus thanks. That worked. I thought that was how to do it but I think I had a master in the path somewhere which was obviously wrong.

@moneromooo-monero - updated yesterday and the wallet appears to be working well. Thanks!
