Can't generate wallet

[redute13IO]

I can’t generate a wallet, buttons do not respond WasabiLinux-1.1.10.2.tar.gz on Tails 4.1.

The steps:
Logged into the OS with an administrator password
I downloaded WasabiLinux-1.1.10.2.tar.gz and WasabiLinux-1.1.10.2.tar.gz.asc
Verified signature
Unpacked sudo tar -pxzf WasabiLinux-1.1.10.2.tar.gz
Launched through the terminal

The application has opened but does not respond to button presses (not all, logs for example open).

@MaxHillebrand Could you reproduce it? You have Tails, right?

[MaxHillebrand]

I tried it out on Tails 4.1 with Wasabi 1.1.10.2, but everyting seems to work fine for me...
@PulpCattel, could you maybe try to reproduce too?

@redute13IO, did you use the provided install scripts or did you do it manually??

[PulpCattel]

I cannot reproduce either.

@redute13IO from what folder are you launching it?
If you click File > Open > Log File it works, but if you click File > Generate Wallet it doesn't?
FYI the sudo privileges aren't needed, you can just:

• download the tar.gz
• right click it
• click extract here
• ./wassabee

Wasabi 1.1.9.1 is the version which works for me on Tails 4.1 as far as i can see it.
Newer versions (1.1.10.*) do not start properly. They give a GUI error. At work now. Will share this evening

[PulpCattel]

This is weird, I've used every Wasabi version with Tails and they all work properly, 1.1.10.* included. There also been the bug bounty for the newer version and Tails was tested too.

[jsspanjer]

Ok. Just upgraded to Tails 4.2.
Started terminal.
sudo dpkg -i Wasabi-1.1.10.2.deb
Wasabi installs.
Getting Wasabi Gui started (..guid...)
Segmentation fault

And nothing.
Note:
On Tails 4.1 i also got a Segmentation fault but it did show the gui with barely clickable buttons.
Rest of gui unresponsive.
Same for all 1.1.10.* releases. The one that works for me is 1.1.9.1

[jsspanjer]

Installed 1.1.9.1 over existing 1.1.10.2. Starts up fine.
Installed 1.1.10.2 over 1.1.9.1. Gui starts. But unresponsive. You can click file, tools and Help. They will list the options but nothing can be selected. Rest of screen is filled with wasabi logo and -Click and Drag upwards to unlock-. Can only be killed with pkill.

[lontivero]

I downloaded Tails 4.2 (.iso) and ran it in a Virtual Box. Then:

$ wget https://tails.mirror.metalgamer.eu/tails/stable/tails-amd64-4.2/tails-amd64-4.2.iso
$ tar -pxzf WasabiLinux-1.1.10.2.tar.gz
$ cd WasabiLinux-1.1.10.2
$ ./wassabee

After that I was able to generate a new wallet with no problem.

[jsspanjer]

Ok. I am following instructions from https://docs.wasabiwallet.io/using-wasabi/WasabiSetupTails.html#create-admin-password
I see there is also a tip to not install the debian package but to extract the *.tar.gz.
Will try that tonight. Can someone test the debian instructions?

[jsspanjer]

ok.
$ tar -pxzf WasabiLinux-1.1.10.2.tar.gz
$ cd WasabiLinux-1.1.10.2
$ ./wassabee
Gui started in correct form. Then app crashed with Segmentation Fault again.
$ ./wassabee
Immediately Segmentation Fault.

[jsspanjer]

Can someone test with normal Tails install on USB instead of virtual machines?

[lontivero]

I don't know if my usb device is broken or what the problem is but I never loads. Can someone else try this?

[redute13IO]

@MaxHillebrand

@redute13IO, did you use the provided install scripts or did you do it manually??

Manually

@PulpCattel

@redute13IO from what folder are you launching it?

Tried different folders (TorBrow/Persist) - also the same result

If you click File > Open > Log File it works, but if you click File > Generate Wallet it doesn't?

Yes, right. Wanna watch logs?

w/wo sudo - the same
Tails 4.2 WasabiLinux-1.1.10.2

Do I understand correctly that for .deb I definitely need a BitcoinCore that weighs 300 gb?

[lontivero]

Do I understand correctly that for .deb I definitely need a BitcoinCore that weighs 300 gb?

No. How you decide to install Wasabi makes no difference in the requirements. Wasabi doesn't requires bitcoin core (it is optional).

[redute13IO]

@nopara73 Should I expect a correction of the described bug?

[nopara73]

@redute13IO I don't know yet. @jmacato @danwalmsley can you try tor reproduce it? If one of them would be able to reproduce it, then we'd have a chance to fix it. I wanted someone to confirm the issue before I get them involved, which did not happen, (instead another bug was exposed by @jsspanjer.)

[RiccardoMasutti]

I cannot reproduce either.

[danwalmsley]

@jsspanjer @redute13IO if you guys are still around, do you know how to compile wasabi?

If so if you could try with #2988

It may well have fixed the problem.

If you need further assistance to do this please let me know.

[RiccardoMasutti]

@jsspanjer @redute13IO https://docs.wasabiwallet.io/using-wasabi/BuildSource.html

[jsspanjer]

Still here. Have seen #2988
Also think it is a gui problem so this may be a solution.
Issue is the same as #2826
Something has changed from 1.1.9.2 that causes this.
Can I install .NET Core 3.1 on Tails?

[danwalmsley]

@jsspanjer let me know if you manage to test with #2988 .

[jsspanjer]

I am afraid you cannot install .NET Core 3.1 on Tails. I tried but to no avail. I will wait till there is a new package available and will test that.

[MaxHillebrand]

I tried installing .NET Core 3.1, however...

[jsspanjer]

Had exact the same experience.

[jsspanjer]

Installed nightly build...
https://github.com/molnard/WalletWasabi/releases/tag/v1.1.10.2-200122

First two times loading wassabee resulted in Segmentation Fault.
After a couple of times "pkill wassabee" and "wassabee" it loaded.

GUI can be resized, but windows will not size properly. Parts of GUI not there

Double clicking title bar will maximizing it. GUI will show properly

Top menu is accessible but you cannot click anything.

[danwalmsley]

@jsspanjer thanks for this, can you confirm the following:

• Window Manager name that tails is using
• XOrg version
• Is XWayland being used?

[jsspanjer]

@danwalmsley
Do not know, but I found this:
https://redmine.tails.boum.org/code/issues/12213
I think Wayland is on the roadmap

[danwalmsley]

@jsspanjer please try pasting output of command wmctrl -m

[jsspanjer]

@danwalmsley

Command not found....
Not everything works on Tails

[hkjn]

Command not found....
Not everything works on Tails

@jsspanjer: You might be able to install the wmctrl command with:

$ sudo apt -y update && sudo install -y wmctrl

(You will need to start Tails with an administrator password added to be able to run sudo commands.)

[jsspanjer]

@hkjn Not thought about that. Will do that this evening.

[jmacato]

VM Specs (VirtualBox 6.1.0 r135406)
RAM: 3GB
CPU: 3 Cores; KVM-accelerated
Tails version: 4.2.2
Wasabi version: 1.1.10.2

• Startup works
• Wallet generation works
• Receive Address generation works
• Coinjoin works

So yeah i can't repro anything that the OP described :(

[jmacato]

Same results too using https://github.com/molnard/WalletWasabi/releases/tag/v1.1.10.2-200122

[jsspanjer]

Installed wmctrl.

@jmacato Yes. Virtualbox will run it perfectly. But try it from USB on a machine and it fails. Strange.

[jmacato]

@jsspanjer do you mind if you can tell us the specs of the machine that you tested this with?

[jsspanjer]

Lenovo ThinkPad T440s

[jsspanjer]

Still on last working version 1.1.9.2
I hope this issue can be fixed soon.

[molnard]

@jsspanjer I released a new version, here. According to this conversation you have already tried with the newest Avalonia but you can give it a try.

https://github.com/zkSNACKs/WalletWasabi/releases

[jsspanjer]

Will try one of these days. Bit busy at the moment

[jsspanjer]

On Lenovo thinkpad it still does not work. Segmentation Fault. Tails 4.4. Wassabi 1.1.10.3.
On Macbook pro 2014 it works. Everything fine. Tails 4.4. Wassabi 1.1.10.3. Same USB.

[danieloto2009]

Same issue on HP Probook laptop, however evertyhing works on Lenovo laptop and on generic desktop. Tails 4.4 Wassabi 1.1.10.3. Same USB device.

[jsspanjer]

Lenovo ThinkPad T440s does not work. Which Lenovo do you use?

[danieloto2009]

Lenovo ThinkPad X260 works ok.

[CoprinopsisAtramentaria]

I'm able to reproduce the issue described with a Lenovo Thinkpad T420. Any additional information I could provide or testing I could perform to help move this issue along?

I've also observed that the GUI seems to actually be responding to and handling input but the GUI itself is not being redrawn. I've been able to force the GUI to be redrawn by unmaximizing and then maximizing the application. Every time this is performed, changes that I performed within the UI are now reflect visually.

[CoprinopsisAtramentaria]

I'm no longer able to reproduce this issue on a Thinkpad T420 running Tails 4.4.1 when using the new WasabiLinux-1.1.11.tar.gz package. Anyone else that was experiencing this tried the new release?

[molnard]

@redute13IO can you give it a try with our new release?
https://wasabiwallet.io/#download

[jsspanjer]

I am very happy to report that Tails 4.4.1 and Wasabi-1.1.11.deb have been successfully tested. No issues found. Gui very responsive. Thank you all!
LENOVO Thinkpad T440s

[MaxHillebrand]

This is fantastic - thank You for reporting back on it!

[molnard]

@jsspanjer glad to hear. Your feedbacks are very well welcomed in the future.

Happy CoinJoining!
