Troubleshooting

  1. I get this error: mesh.dht.protocol.ValidationError: local time must be within 3 seconds of others on WSL. What should I do?All clocks on all nodes need to be synchronized. Please set the date using an NTP server:sudo apt install ntpdatesudo ntpdate pool.ntp.org

  2. The server starts loading blocks and then prints: Killed. What should I do? This happens since Windows doesn't allocate much RAM to WSL by default, so the server gets OOM-killed.To increase the memory limit, go to C:/Users/username and create the .wslconfig with this content:

    [wsl2]
memory=12GB

    Then reboot WSL (run sudo reboot in the WSL console) and the node should operate.

  3. WSL clock tends to get out of synch, which prevents the server from launching with the error mesh.dht.protocol.ValidationError: local time must be within 3 seconds of others.To sync the WSL clock, run sudo ntpdate pool.ntp.org. See more fixes discussed at stackverflow.
