Can't get bitcoin core started

[mvezzuto]

Hi everyone. I'm new to the thread...sent here by Moritz after I couldn't get on telegram because I don't have a smartphone (I'm SOMEWHAT off the grid). Anyway, I'm writing because I'm having trouble getting my Specter desktop app working after not having a problem with it for the 5 months or so I've been using it. First, I was getting an endless Pacman screen. I wound up deleting the 1.8.1 version (via App Zapper, which means a few other files went with it. I still have my code words and wallet backup, though) and updating the app to the most recent version. This didn't help, so on Moritz's advice, I went back to 1.8.1 (downloading the app saved on my backup disc from last June) and after 20 minutes of Pacman, it opened (I should mention, before Thursday July 21 I never had this problem with the Pacman app not disappearing. The app would usually open in less than 2 minutes). NOW I can't get the Bitcoin core to start. I tried starting the one I had, and when that didn't work, I tried configuring a new node, but got error messages from that (see photo below). The messages say "Encountered an error:Node specter_bitcoin_3_2 does not exist!). Any advice? I should mention that I have some experience in engineering (in college. I never worked in the field), so I'm not tech-phobic, but haven't kept up with developments in computers over the last 10 years, so some of the current jargon may go over my head. I can generally figure things out if pointed in the right direction. Anyway, thanks for reading, and thanks in advance for any help.

Also got this message when trying to configure the node via the wallet:

Actually, never mind. Today, Apple sent a system update (Monterey 12.5), and the Specter app and Bitcoin Core are miraculously back to normal. Go figure! Sorry to take up your time!

Interesting. I recently started having issues with receiving Specter release updates through Umbrel node and wonder if it has to do with recent upgrade to Ventura OS.
