pull down to refresh

After a recent update I don't seem to be able to connect my LND node to Zeus through LNC anymore. I have been connecting for years using Lightning Terminal. Has anyone else noticed this?

@siggy47 create a new pairing phrase from Lightning Terminal and you should be good to go. If that fails, I would restart the litd process.

Next release will have some improved LNC connection handling.

Thanks Evan. I did create a new pairing phrase, and it was working fine for a day or so. Then the connection failed again.

Sounds like an issue with your node. Might be maxing out the ram on it and causing the litd process to stall out/disconnect. Would take a closer look there and consider trimming down processes.

I should mention that I also restarted the litd before creating the new pairing.

Hi! I just tried it out in litd 0.17.1-alpha, but was able to successfully connect to Zeus 13.2.0 with a fresh LNC connection phrase.

What exact issue are you facing? Does your existing connection no longer connect? What if you make a new LNC connection? Or can you no longer scan the QR code in Lightning Terminal?

reply

Creating a new session worked this time. In fact, it is connecting faster than usual. I also notice the Zeus wallet GUI now has a direct LNC option. I think it required LND rest before? It's been a while since I had problems with the connection, so perhaps it has been this way for a while. I also updated Lightning Terminal. That could also have been the issue?

Anyway, thanks for your help.

I can imagine that the session may have expired, or that indeed some upgrades on the Zeus or litd side caused the old connection to break. Glad it's working now!

I created a new LNC connection last night. It scanned okay, but wouldn't connect. I am going to try again tonight to be sure it's not working.

Also see if you can run litcli status on your machine to make sure everything is running properly!

Will do. Thanks for the advice

Despite creating new sessions, the LNC connection continues to shut down. There is still an issue.

Hmm I did see some heavy changes in the LNC stack for v13.1.3 -> v13.2.0

There's this fix for iOS at 16fb197b for 13.2.1-alpha1, but I can't 100% tell if that same fix for Android is also needed, i.e. here. That looks the same as how it was on iOS before the patch... so this may be a thing.

I think it's worth filing an issue about this. Sorry I can't be of more help - this is a part of Zeus I never touch, nor review deeply (because I personally don't use it.) @evankaloudis should have a good idea about what's going on here though.

There's an open LNC-related bug (#4278) though it describes a different symptom (connection failing after restart/switching wallets on iOS) https://github.com/ZeusLN/zeus/issues/4278

Might be worth opening a new issue for your specific case https://github.com/ZeusLN/zeus/issues

I will try a few things first to be sure. Thanks for the information.
FYI I'm on graphene android.
