This should be fixed in the latest release candidate image. The download link is in the dev branch. Bugs found there will be actively fixed so beat is to keep it up to date by running the shortcut command: patch in the command line.

ran into the same issue yesterday night, ported over the changes of the _provision.setup.sh script into my fresh v1.7.1 script folder and was able to restore a lnd-rescue-*.tar.gz seamlessly. Thanks, great job!

OK this looks good now. Removing the bug-lable and is ready for final testing as part of the relese candidates.

Its an old key that I recently restored to 1.7.1rc2 for which i have some logs https://termbin.com/4l34

Hi @The34Goon

ℹ️ Your termbin in your raspiblitz issue 2639 seems to expose your onion address to the public.

🤷 I can’t tell you how to change your bitcoind onion address for raspiblitz at the moment.

I didn’t know how to contact you with a direct message here on github. I’m sorry to post this public.

The lnd.conf is part of the rescue file as it is in the lnd directory and that’s how your settings and alias is restored.

It is parsed for most breaking options, but not for line order.

these lines:

#deactivate streamisolation for hybrid-mode
tor.streamisolation=false

#activate split connectivity
tor.skip-proxy-for-clearnet-targets=true

need to be under the

[tor]

section.

this is causing your LND to fail.

Best guess when looking at the created raspiblitz.conf …

# RASPIBLITZ CONFIG FILE
raspiBlitzVersion='1.7.2rc1'
lcdrotate='1'
lightning='lnd'
network='bitcoin'
chain='main'
hostname='testrecover'
runBehindTor=on

… its because the lnd=on is missing when setting up fresh with LNDRESCUE file.

EDIT: If I add lnd=on manually to the config. It starts behaving correctly.

OK, first test look good with dev scripts. Adding final testing.

synchronise the RPC user and password between bitcoin.conf and lnd.conf (if there is a password at all)

check the logs of bitcoin and LND from the SYSTEM menu

ok i checked the configs, and the rpc pws was not equal, the lnd.conf has the rpc pw from the backup and the bitcoin.conf has the pw, from the fresh node i made before. after changing the pw in bitcoin.conf, restarted bitcoind + lnd, syncing is 100% and backup restore was successfull, everything works fine now, thx openoms 😉

Until we can reproduce this issue and find a reliable solution there is the previous image still available at the v1.7.0 tag: https://github.com/rootzoll/raspiblitz/tree/v1.7.0#downloading-the-software

The only thing stops you from downgrading afaik is LND not running with a previous version after updating the database. So use the command line to enter: menu then UPDATE -> LND to the latest release.
