Interesting, I see the error directly on geth's side WARN [02-17|18:49:50.209] Served personal_listAccounts reqid=5 duration="64.236µs" err="the method personal_listAccounts does not exist/is not available"

Is this on Linux? Is this geth your own version?

[mazhigali]

Is this on Linux? Is this geth your own version?

Yes it's Linux and geth is not my own - from repo Archlinux

[almindor]

Ah I see, you must've just upgraded. They release this version recently with

The personal RPC namespace is now deprecated. In order to interact with personal APIs, you need to specifically allow it via the --rpc.enabledeprecatedpersonal command-line flag.

I'll have to look at what is the replacement API and update etherwall, but for the moment please just add --rpc.enabledeprecatedpersonal to the additional geth args field in settings.

[mazhigali]

--rpc.enabledeprecatedpersonal

Thanks it helped

[almindor]

Workaround is in master now, I'll release v3.0.5 soon with it. The proper fix will take a lot of work though as clef has quite different apis from geth and is essentially a new backend to work with accounts.

Anyone still gets that? That happens to me on two Arch based systems.

rpc.enabledeprecatedpersonal was added in the additional geth args field. So the workaround is here. But didn't work.

etherwall package version: 3.0.6-3
go-ethereum 1.14.12-1

See #153 . Newer geth versions dropped support for account handling completely and Etherwall still depends on it. You can get an older geth and point Etherwall to it in the settings. It only uses the local geth for account handling, just be sure to check that you get geth from an official source!

I just don't have the cycles to rewrite the entire account handling for etherwall right now.

Thanks, good, at least it's known. No worries, good luck with your projects whether it's this or something else.
