Issues with NCC on linux mint

[Fibonacci_Sequence]

Well hello there!

Having two issues with NCC on linux mint.

First, left my computer untouched for a week or so, came back and NCC forgot my wallet. Gonzo. So, I’ve been trying to restore it with my .wlt files but it doesn’t seem to want to work, Nano wallet won’t import them and I see no way of importing them to NCC - put them in ./package and ./package/ncc, no dice. import only takes a private key, not a file.

Second, every time I run NIS and NCC in terminal (I use sudo ./nix.runMon.sh) it has to start downloading the whole blockchain from the start. Frustrating.

Help?

Thanks!

(I use sudo ./nix.runMon.sh)

Use ./nix.runNcc.sh instead. That will just run NCC, and then you can connect to a remote NIS.

That doesn’t change anything, how do you load a remote NIS?

Doesn;t have linux, but I found the files in /home/[user]/nem/ncc. replaced them with the backup but not seeing the old wallet, still the new test wallets

Here is a tutorial on how to connect to a remote nis with ncc.

How to run a NEM wallet without downloading the blockchain

You’ll have to wait for someone else to help you with the wallet tho as I’ve never ran into any problems with them.

When you manage to get into your account I would advice you get the actual private key of your account and store it somewhere safe (preferably offline). That way if you ever run into any problems with wallets again you will always have it and you can just create a new wallet with it that has all your nem in it.

Thanks guys. I ended up booting windows (I hate to do so) and loaded NCC on it - putting the wallet files in the appropriate folder worked. No idea why it’s not working in linux, very frustrating. Your guides on the remote NIS worked perfectly and I was able to recover all my XEM and grab my private key from that build, plus generate a json for nanowallet. Disappointed the recovery didn’t work in Linux, but it is what it is.

Many thanks!
