lnd: Unable to set up wallet password listeners: missing address manager namespace

Background

Setting up a fresh regtest wallet, I get this error.

From some debugging, it will not happen if Swap file system is enabled.

Got hit by this also when deploying LND with kubernetes - helm on a ZFS filesystem on Ubuntu 22.04 without swap:

[INF] LTND: Attempting automatic wallet unlock with password provided in file
[ERR] LTND: Shutting down because error in main method: error creating wallet config: error unlocking wallet with password from file: missing address manager namespace
[INF] LTND: Shutdown complete

error creating wallet config: error unlocking wallet with password from file: missing address manager namespace

checked there is no swap configured:

cat /proc/swaps
Filename				Type		Size		Used		Priority

Installed zram

sudo apt install zram-config

and working after reboot:

cat /proc/swaps
Filename				Type		Size		Used		Priority
/dev/zram0                              partition	8129088		0		5

zramctl
NAME       ALGORITHM DISKSIZE DATA COMPR TOTAL STREAMS MOUNTPOINT
/dev/zram0 lzo-rle       7.8G   4K   74B   12K       4 [SWAP]

LND now deploys without errors.

Thanks a lot! This solved the problem for me.

What command did you run from lncli to get this output? Did you run lncli create and then lncli unlock later or is this error directly from the create command?

It looks like the wallet.db file is corrupt. Or it cant’ be read. Can you check that it exists and that you have write permission to it?
