Hello GNUnet, I'm not reporting this into the bug tracker (yet), because (good) chances are the problem exists between the chair and keyboard…
I'm testing the newly available GNUnet 0.16.3 on Guix, starting with the GNS. I have a single-user setup, without a stand-alone database. I'm following the [How to use GNUnet - in a nutshell](https://www.gnunet.org/en/use.html) documentation. On computer_1 (logs at the bottom of the email): ```console $ gnunet-arm --start $ gnunet-core # connected to some peers $ gnunet-identity --create computer_1 $ gnunet-identity --display computer_1 - 000G004515E30YC1WTB7X51H95NGVEDK8974FS3DTPCREQT2KJN35ARRG4 - ECDSA $ gnunet-namestore \ --zone computer_1 \ --add \ --expiration "1 d" \ --public \ --type A \ --name ccc \ --value 195.54.164.39 $ gnunet-gns --type A --lookup ccc.computer_1 ccc.computer_1: Got `A' record: 195.54.164.39 ``` On computer_2 (logs at the bottom of the email): ```console $ gnunet-arm --start $ gnunet-core # connected to some peers $ gnunet-identity --create computer_2 $ gnunet-namestore \ --zone computer_2 \ --add \ --expiration never \ --public \ --type PKEY \ --name computer_1 \ --value 000G004515E30YC1WTB7X51H95NGVEDK8974FS3DTPCREQT2KJN35ARRG4 $ gnunet-gns --type A --lookup ccc.computer_1.computer_2 # … hangs forever ``` I was expecting to see `Got `A' record: 195.54.164.39`. Am I doing something wrong? It could be useful to provide, in the "how to use GNUnet", a real GNS record within a "public" zone so anyone could add it to her namestore and look it up without having to set up a second host, IMHO. Best regards, Tanguy On computer_1, the logs contain the following: ``` 2022-04-07T17:14:00.996911+0200 peerstore-sqlite-29500 ERROR Error executing SQL query: attempt to write a readonly database PRAGMA auto_vacuum=INCREMENTAL 2022-04-07T17:14:00.997101+0200 peerstore-sqlite-29500 ERROR `sqlite3_step' failed at plugin_peerstore_sqlite.c:211 with error: attempt to write a readonly database 2022-04-07T17:14:00.997124+0200 sqlite-29500 ERROR Failed to reset sqlite statement with error: attempt to write a readonly database 2022-04-07T17:14:00.999847+0200 namestore-29495 ERROR Assertion failed at sq_result_helper.c:180. 2022-04-07T17:14:00.999877+0200 namestore-29495 ERROR Assertion failed at plugin_namestore_sqlite.c:537. 2022-04-07T17:14:00.999891+0200 namestore-29495 ERROR Assertion failed at gnunet-service-namestore.c:1949. 2022-04-07T17:14:01.000896+0200 transport-tcp-29503 WARNING Unexpected address length: 24 bytes 2022-04-07T17:14:01.000925+0200 transport-29503 ERROR Assertion failed at gnunet-service-transport_validation.c:902. 2022-04-07T17:14:01.000932+0200 transport-29503 ERROR Address with 24 bytes for plugin tcp and peer DSTJ is malformed 2022-04-07T17:14:01.000938+0200 transport-tcp-29503 WARNING Unexpected address length: 12 bytes 2022-04-07T17:14:01.000942+0200 transport-29503 ERROR Assertion failed at gnunet-service-transport_validation.c:902. 2022-04-07T17:14:01.000947+0200 transport-29503 ERROR Address with 12 bytes for plugin tcp and peer DSTJ is malformed 2022-04-07T17:14:01.001095+0200 transport-tcp-29503 WARNING Unexpected address length: 24 bytes 2022-04-07T17:14:01.001105+0200 transport-29503 ERROR Assertion failed at gnunet-service-transport_validation.c:902. 2022-04-07T17:14:01.001110+0200 transport-29503 ERROR Address with 24 bytes for plugin tcp and peer V8XX is malformed 2022-04-07T17:14:01.001114+0200 transport-tcp-29503 WARNING Unexpected address length: 12 bytes 2022-04-07T17:14:01.001118+0200 transport-29503 ERROR Assertion failed at gnunet-service-transport_validation.c:902. 2022-04-07T17:14:01.001125+0200 transport-29503 ERROR Address with 12 bytes for plugin tcp and peer V8XX is malformed 2022-04-07T17:14:01.005084+0200 nat-29505 ERROR UPnP enabled in configuration, but UPnP client `upnpc` command not found, disabling UPnP 2022-04-07T17:14:01.099784+0200 hostlist-29482 WARNING Download of hostlist from `https://gnunet.io/hostlist' failed: `SSL peer certificate or SSH remote key was not OK' 2022-04-07T17:14:02.015851+0200 hostlist-29482 WARNING Download of hostlist from `https://gnunet.io/hostlist' failed: `SSL peer certificate or SSH remote key was not OK' ``` On computer_2, the logs contain the following: ``` 2022-04-07T19:18:24.601705+0200 hostlist-2604 WARNING Download of hostlist from `https://gnunet.io/hostlist' failed: `SSL peer certificate or SSH remote key was not OK' 2022-04-07T19:18:24.603510+0200 nat-2625 ERROR UPnP enabled in configuration, but UPnP client `upnpc` command not found, disabling UPnP 2022-04-07T19:18:25.597153+0200 hostlist-2604 WARNING Download of hostlist from `https://gnunet.io/hostlist' failed: `SSL peer certificate or SSH remote key was not OK' 2022-04-07T19:18:27.597664+0200 hostlist-2604 WARNING Download of hostlist from `https://gnunet.io/hostlist' failed: `SSL peer certificate or SSH remote key was not OK' 2022-04-07T19:18:31.628126+0200 transport-tcp-2621 WARNING Unexpected address length: 24 bytes 2022-04-07T19:18:31.628416+0200 transport-2621 ERROR Assertion failed at gnunet-service-transport_validation.c:902. 2022-04-07T19:18:31.628470+0200 transport-2621 ERROR Address with 24 bytes for plugin tcp and peer DSTJ is malformed 2022-04-07T19:18:31.628520+0200 transport-tcp-2621 WARNING Unexpected address length: 12 bytes 2022-04-07T19:18:31.628559+0200 transport-2621 ERROR Assertion failed at gnunet-service-transport_validation.c:902. 2022-04-07T19:18:31.628597+0200 transport-2621 ERROR Address with 12 bytes for plugin tcp and peer DSTJ is malformed 2022-04-07T19:18:31.630577+0200 transport-tcp-2621 WARNING Unexpected address length: 24 bytes 2022-04-07T19:18:31.630668+0200 transport-2621 ERROR Assertion failed at gnunet-service-transport_validation.c:902. 2022-04-07T19:18:31.630721+0200 transport-2621 ERROR Address with 24 bytes for plugin tcp and peer V8XX is malformed 2022-04-07T19:18:31.630776+0200 transport-tcp-2621 WARNING Unexpected address length: 12 bytes 2022-04-07T19:18:31.630826+0200 transport-2621 ERROR Assertion failed at gnunet-service-transport_validation.c:902. 2022-04-07T19:18:31.630882+0200 transport-2621 ERROR Address with 12 bytes for plugin tcp and peer V8XX is malformed ```
