Unable to connect hardware wallet to cli
nicprov opened this issue · 2 comments
Describe the bug
I am trying to connect my Ledger Nano S to my local Oxen wallet using the CLI. I get the following error message: Error: failed to generate new wallet: No device found. (Is the device running with the wallet app opened?)
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Open wallet cli: ./oxen-wallet-cli --generate-from-device ledger
- Enter an arbitrary password
I tried running the steps above both with the Ledger Live bridge open and closed (as this is usually required for other wallets). If I try to open the ledger live in bridge mode, I run the following command: sudo ./ledger-live-desktop-2.36.3-linux-x86_64.AppImage ledgerlive://bridge?appName=Oxen --no-sandbox
Expected behaviour
What is the expected behaviour if the steps above are followed:
As mentioned in this guide, it should prompt my ledger for permission and then create the wallet which is does not do.
Current Behaviour
What is the current behaviour if the steps to reproduce are followed:
Right now, as soon as I run the command mentioned above to generate the wallet from the device, I get the following error: No device found. (Is the device running with the wallet app opened?).

Hi Nicholas,
Yeah there were some updates that have been included in #1467 so you will need to be running the latest dev branch compiled with libhidapi to connect to the ledger.
My understanding of the bridge is to give a sandboxed app in a web browser access to USB. We haven't needed it as our wallet is a native app and already has access to the hardware.
However the ledger functionality is in early stages and we are still working with ledger to get the app onto ledger live. So you also have to compile the oxen ledger app yourself and unsure if you have managed this yet?
Cheers
