[Debian] Wallet Receive Address and Connected Base Node ID Missing

[eligrubbs]

In the wallet TUI, there is no "Connected Base Node ID" and navigating over to the "Receive" tab shows no "Tari Address one-sided", "Node ID / Public key", nor "Network Address". I have looked across other issues and I know that the "Connected Base Node ID" can be a url like "https://rpc.tari.com" or some hash.

I recently installed the bundle of binaries for release v5.1.0. I ran the node and things appear to have synced, I ran the wallet and I can see "Chain Tip" populating. I would like my wallet to use my local node. I have added the fallback url as part of debugging, but even that does not work.

Let me know if you need other screenshots, logs, etc.

Here are all of the ports used when I run just the node:

$ netstat -lnp
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:18142         0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      418616/./minotari_n

Example snippet from running the minotari_node binary:
