How can I reconnect the GUI to the chia plott process?

[tkmbe99]

Hello

Mi GUI crashed.
The chia plotting process is still working but after opening the GUI I have no data avaiable.
So I do not have any idea who long would it take to terminat (first plott generation) and I don't know if the process
will leave reallt a valid plot at end...
So is there any solution to attach the process again to the GUI?
No one had this problem?

a lot of peoples gui's are crashing because of rpc errors, you might search the repository and see if you are having a similar issue

If the GUI crashes but your plotting is still running in the background, it's likely that your plots will complete on their own so long as you do not kill their processes or restart your system. That said, I'm not aware of any method at this time that would allow you to reconnect the orphaned processes to the GUI

If you are still experiencing the issues it is recommended to upgrade to the latest version of chia. Please download it from here: https://www.chia.net/downloads/

Since this issue has been open for a number of years without additional comments, we will be closing this ticket but if we have closed this ticket in error do not hesitate to reach out to us again with any followup questions, comments, or if the issue persists after an update.

Please note that upgrading major versions of chia generally requires the config.yaml to be recreated using these steps:
1. Stop chia
2. Rename the config or move it to a different directory
3. In CLI run chia init
4. Copy any custom settings from the old config to the new (plot drive directories, pool info, trusted node info, etc) - be careful here as yaml is very picky about formatting including those leading spaces
5. Start Chia
