Reseed saying successful but there a button saying Reseed so is this like Reseed-Again/Re-Reseed?
anonymousmaybe
because either reseed failed then press on reseed button to reseed or its succeeded then the reseed button is confusing

anonymousmaybe sometimes when you have a low number of peers it shows you the reseed button again, it looks like maybe your reseed was successful but most of the peers were inactive/old/unreachable?
anonymousmaybe
i dont know, not sure even how to check that
anonymousmaybe
old <- no, because just fresh i2p start
eyedeekay
Well it could also be coming from the reseed server itself, if it hasn't generated a new seed for you then you might get expired ones
anonymousmaybe
hmm but im talking about the sanity/rationality of saying reseed successful while Reseed button is there
anonymousmaybe
either the message or the button incorrect, but cant both be correct at the same time afai understand
eyedeekay
Perhaps it should also change the text to "low peer count?" or something like that
anonymousmaybe
yeah something that make the button more rational to have/press
eyedeekay
let me file an issue and self-assign so I don't forget
anonymousmaybe
alright cool, thank you <f>

eyedeekay: I've run into this on my testing network when I don't have enough peers going. I think there's already a message along the lines you're suggesting. But maybe it's not clear.
obscuratus
Something along the lines of "Not enough peers", and the reseed button shows up.
anonymousmaybe
obscuratus hmm? which lines?
anonymousmaybe
there is only that green successful one unless im missing something
anonymousmaybe
this is the message we are talking about
eyedeekay
It could be a case of which message is on top, too. Not sure until I look
obscuratus
anonymousmaybe: Yeah, that's a little perplexing. If you successfully got a reseed file with 154 RI, and have only been up 54 seconds, you don't usually get that button.
anonymousmaybe
yes exactly, hope it can be re-designed in a better way
obscuratus
I see the router in the png was running in "hidden mode". Is it possible all 154 routers were unreachable?
eyedeekay
That's what I'm wondering
eyedeekay
But I gotta go, back in an hour

anonymousmaybe: Looking at i2pquestion_png, I notice that there is no "Router Info" link above the place where it says "Version: 1.9.0-0-ubuntu1"
obscuratus
I'm not sure if this is normal when a router is completely firewalled, but it could be an indication the router was having trouble building it's own RI, even after 54 seconds.

I think the most likely cause of the reseed button is stale routerinfos.
dr|z3d
logs would indicate which of the hosts aren't providing acceptable RIs, but then again, if the whole zip file is stale, it gets skipped and the next host is tried, so maybe not.
obscuratus
dr|z3d: Very possible. The full sidebar panel would be helpful. Perhaps a peak at the critical logs.
dr|z3d
wrapper logs are where the success of failure of individual reseed hosts' offerings is reported. maybe that would be sufficient.
obscuratus
If one of our main reseed servers is pushing out stale reseed files, I'd like to think we'll be seeing more complaints. :)
dr|z3d
unlikely, most people don't care enough to check. there are enough hosts that it doesn't much matter.
obscuratus
It might be difficult to craft a re-design of the text associated with the reseed button without some more information about why this poor router was struggling.
dr|z3d
another possible.. RIs get pulled, extracted via /tmp, but ~/.i2p/netDb/ isn't writeable.
dr|z3d
anonymousmaybe: logs or it didn't happen.

Lol
