macOS 10.x fails to start with Error (no message) #2038

lfnpcsoft · 2022-03-16T05:31:07Z

I opened IPFS Desktop when a windows jumps out reading "IPFS node has encountered an error and startup could not be completed:" and macOS also tells me the application has some problems.

How to solve?

Specifications

OS: darwin
IPFS Desktop Version: 0.20.2
Electron Version: 17.1.0
Chrome Version: 98.0.4758.102

Error

@lfnpcsoft you mentioned "macOS also tells me the application has some problems." – mind providing more details?
What version of macOS are you running? Is the issue resolved after restarting IPFS Desktop, or happens every time?
A screenshot or combined.log would be fantastic 🙏

lidel · 2022-03-22T19:31:05Z

#2056 (comment) mentions macOS v10.14.6 (Mojave)
Would be good to confirm that other people experiencing the problem are running the same version.

lidel · 2022-03-23T00:13:45Z

#2040 (comment) mentions problem occurring after reinstall:

this is an error I got after I updated ipfs desktop on mac. This is excatly what I did; I deleted ipfs and re downloaded and reinstalled. Upon attempting to launch the error appears

@LordWilliamsr mind providing more info on this?

were you reinstalling the same version, or a different one? which?
was it an upgrade or a downgrade?
did you remove .ipfs (IPFS_PATH dir) or kept it? (if you dont know, means you kept it)

LordWilliamsr · 2022-03-23T09:16:58Z

I was reinstalling a newer version for mac 0.20.2
This was an upgrade
I did not remove .ipfs

lidel · 2022-03-23T14:22:41Z

#2060 (comment) provides more signal that the issue is related to old macOS 10.x:

I've spent the last several days upgrading/updating my ENTIRE Mac system. Main computer is Mid-2010 Mac Pro tower. I've been able to install macOS 10.15.7 (Catalina)…the fastest I can put on my machine.

lidel · 2022-03-23T14:25:16Z

@SgtPooki @hacdias do you have an older macOS box (10.x) at hand to test this?
I was not able to reproduce, all migrations run smooth on my mac mini with macOS 12.x – I have no other machine for tests.

hacdias · 2022-03-23T18:50:11Z

@lidel I also don't have older macOS versions. It also works here.

lidel · 2022-03-24T00:44:39Z

I've run our basic end-to-end tests on macos-10.15 (#2063) but it passed fine.

Empty terminal means the logs are never updated in variable here:

ipfs-desktop/src/daemon/daemon.js

Line 94 in 34a1c48

let logs = ''

The migration console window is opened with isErrored=true at some point, which suggests we should add some debugging around isSpawnedDaemonDead – either this check is broken on macOS 10.x OR it works fine, but our daemon fails to start without producing any error (or it does not get passed by js-ipfsd-ctl in time).

Ask for help: anyone with macOS 10.x and 5min of spare time?

Someone experiencing this error could install command line on macOS 10.x and see if ipfs daemon started manually in a terminal runs fine (or not).

The output of this test this will inform our next steps.

I just tried ipfs daemon and after it reaches the line Daemon is ready it gives error messages of the type 2022-03-23T22:17:19.667-0500 ERROR tcp-tpt go-tcp-transport@v0.4.0/tcp.go:52 failed to enable TCP keepalive {"error": "set tcp4 192.168.2.216:4001->195.206.185.205:4001: setsockopt: invalid argument"} . The IP addresses change in the second field (i.e.195.206.185.205:4001) change, but the errors are otherwise identical to each other. I can provide more output if you really want.

Edit: I'm on Mojave 10.14.6 by the way.

mlgx · 2022-03-24T05:25:55Z

I'm on 10.15.7 and I have the same issue with versions 0.19.1 and 0.20.3.
Versions 0.18.1 and 0.17.0 work fine. Go-ipfs 0.12.0 also works.
Removing .ipfs and .ipfs-desktop folders doesn't help.

Here is a complete crash report: https://gist.github.com/mlgx/c4b984046a03b1597fd8609274f1eae7

IPFS-Desktop should not force updates. It makes reverting to an older version impossible.

MattJohnsonMusic · 2022-03-24T14:26:41Z

I'm not very helpful in trying to figure out this issue, but AM wanting IPFS Desktop app to work (please) on macOS 10.15.7.
Hoping support for older Mac owners/users isn't totally dropped.
REALLY appreciate you all for continuing to figure this out.
Peace, Matt

Attaching Combined.log and Error.log. Hoping that helps figure this out:

lidel · 2022-03-25T15:28:20Z

Thank you all, this is really useful. Seems that there is a problem where Electron (ipfs-desktop) spawns go-ipfs:

crashed on child side of fork pre-exec

My gut feeling would be Electron bug, or that the binary at /Applications/IPFS Desktop.app/Contents/Resources/app.asar.unpacked/node_modules/go-ipfs/go-ipfs/ipfs is corrupted, but we would have to confirm that.

@MattJohnsonMusic @mlgx Would it be possible for you to upload that file somewhere, so we can compare sha512 checksums, just to confirm/refute this hypothesis?

MattJohnsonMusic · 2022-03-25T16:16:43Z

I think this is what you asked for. Let me know if not.
ipfs.zip

lidel · 2022-03-25T16:26:23Z

Hm.. checksum is different:

$ sha512sum ipfs  # from MattJohnsonMusic
94fb7e85a893a28083ebdeca974394b134ddf43ca43babe6be490c1f1f59f32c64424b330f9ed128bc9d64a7b72cf42a8104e4f62c73e0367dd406f5b28458f1


$ sha512sum go-ipfs/ipfs # from go-ipfs_v0.12.0_darwin-amd64.tar.gz
6b9aae97dc9c54476092ebb84644980e9c353a97187ee0e22e3b7c9c30cdd5676993cc4dc9786ac732ff1f91bc6475abffdefce1a58cfdd1336125d7787e4c94

@MattJohnsonMusic are you able to download https://dist.ipfs.io/go-ipfs/v0.12.0/go-ipfs_v0.12.0_darwin-amd64.tar.gz, unpack it and replace your broken ipfs with one from go-ipfs/ipfs in that .tar.gz ?

MattJohnsonMusic · 2022-03-25T16:36:35Z

Will give it a try…

MattJohnsonMusic · 2022-03-25T16:41:13Z

Forgive my ignorance, but have downloaded/expanded, now exactly WHAT line of code should I run in Terminal??

MattJohnsonMusic · 2022-03-25T16:42:13Z

(not dumb, just not Terminal savvy. If we wanna talk music, I'm good to go. Just don't speak computer coding as well…at all)

lidel · 2022-03-25T20:28:26Z

@MattJohnsonMusic the idea is to replace (override) corrupted /Applications/IPFS Desktop.app/Contents/Resources/app.asar.unpacked/node_modules/go-ipfs/go-ipfs/ipfs with valid one which ins inside https://dist.ipfs.io/go-ipfs/v0.12.0/go-ipfs_v0.12.0_darwin-amd64.tar.gz archive and see if that fixes the problem.

I think you should be able to do that with Finder, but you can also do it in Terminal.
Sadly I dont use macOS so dont know exact commands for it, but it would be along these lines:

Rename broken binary:
mv /Applications/IPFS Desktop.app/Contents/Resources/app.asar.unpacked/node_modules/go-ipfs/go-ipfs/ipfs /Applications/IPFS Desktop.app/Contents/Resources/app.asar.unpacked/node_modules/go-ipfs/go-ipfs/ipfs.broken
Go to the directory where you downloaded https://dist.ipfs.io/go-ipfs/v0.12.0/go-ipfs_v0.12.0_darwin-amd64.tar.gz and unpack it:
tar xvf go-ipfs_v0.12.0_darwin-amd64.tar.gz
Copy new binary in correct place:
cp go-ipfs/ipfs /Applications/IPFS Desktop.app/Contents/Resources/app.asar.unpacked/node_modules/go-ipfs/go-ipfs/ipfs

This improves UX and error reporting in cases like #2038

MattJohnsonMusic · 2022-03-28T16:26:45Z

Hello, SO…tried lidel's suggestion (above) to replace/copy over files. Either didn't work, or I didn't do things correctly. Finally, just GAVE UP!

• Dragged out another (older) iMac with no IPFS app history. Installed IPFS Desktop app and CRASHED. So, it's definitely something the new app software doesn't like with macOS High Sierra.
• Finally, used wife's newer Mac Airbook, running Big Sur. Upgraded macOS to Monterey v12.3. Installed IPFS Desktop app. Had to install "Rosetta" to make work (whatever). Restarted computer, opened IPFS Desktop and…CRASHED. (Jeez, really?)
• IPFS Desktop auto restarted and then seemed to work fine. FINALLY. Uploaded some files...whew, crisis averted. Just a major hassle and work-around to get the simple concept/idea of making IPFS easier to access through a desktop app.
••HOWEVER, each time I open IPFS Desktop app, it initially crashes, then resets itself. Can't imaging that's normal, but I'm holding my breath and just trying to upload my files before it doesn't work at all.

Problem still exists, but I've figured out a work-around for my IPFS needs…until I buy a nice, new, shiny computer later in the year.
Thanks to ALL for your help along the way,
M

lidel · 2022-03-31T00:38:26Z

Is the crash the same Command was killed with SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault): error as before, or something new?

If it is something new, mind sending combined.log?
If it is the same, it is really odd that you have the same problem on a different 12.x box. Are you running some apps on both of them (other than IPFS Desktop)?

mlgx · 2022-04-04T01:06:10Z

I ran some tests using IPFS Desktop 0.19.1 since I've established that it's the version that introduced the breaking change. Replacing `go-ipfs/ipfs` with the one from 0.18.1 or with go-ipfs 0.12.0 does not fix the issue. The error is the same (segfault). I also tested IPFS Desktop 0.18.1 with `go-ipfs/ipfs` taken from 0.19.1 and it works fine. So it's safe to assume that the issue does not come from `go-ipfs/ipfs`. I also ran from source and narrowed it down to a commit between 80ee282 and a942d4d. I would need more time to find the exact commit that introduced the breaking change.

Version 0.20.4 fixes it!
I should have started there 🤦

KEINOS · 2022-04-04T12:16:41Z

I confirm that IPFS Desktop v0.20.4 fixed the problem even for High Sierra! 👍 Amazing job!!!

lidel · 2022-04-04T23:50:18Z

@MattJohnsonMusic try overwriting your old IPFS Desktop app with latest version from https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs-desktop/releases/download/v0.20.4/IPFS-Desktop-0.20.4.dmg

It seems to solve the problem for others.

MattJohnsonMusic · 2022-04-05T09:31:14Z

Thank you. I downloaded/installed 20.4 and it does seem to work...whew!
Peace, Matt
