Hi, I have not used monero for about 3 years. Last version used was v0.11.0.0. When I created the wallet back then I got 25 words, which I stored in an encrypted text file. Now I downloaded v0.17.1.4, which updated the blockchain successfully, although it printed some errors when updating the DB version from 4 to 5: "failed to find transaction

input in key images" in the beginning.

Now I tried to open the wallet with my saved words but I only get invalid password. There are some non-ascii chars in them, like öüäß, did the encoding change? Or are newline chars a problem? How can I find out what is going on?

Newline chars inside the password?

If it's on windows, it was handling UTF-8 badly IIRC. Because Windows uses UCS2-LE internally IIRC. So restore from your seed.

No, this is linux. Stupid question: what is the seed?

The 25 word list.

Ah! cool! Will try. Thanks :)

Or did you try to use those words as password to your existing wallet file ?

yes, I did...

You don't remember your original password ? :)

Did I have to have one back then? :-o

Most likely. You might have used an empty one,

Anyway, restoring from the seed bypasses all that.

I think I'm on the right track :-) Public wallet address is correct, daemon is synchronized, wallet opened. But it now says "Wallet blocks remaining:" with some 1.5 Million. What is that? Has the wallet also a separate chain?

Ok, I think I got it. It is the number of blocks the wallet is scanning to find relevant transactions. I got all my XMR back. Thanks for your help! :-)

Will there be a monero GUI update pushed soon?

I mean notification in app

An update was just pushed.

You should have seen it already, I got it a couple of days ago without issue on Linux.

V0.17.1.5 is the latest.
