Unable to unlock accounts

[arvicco]

Unable to unlock accounts. OSX 10.10.2, homebrewed Geth/v0.9.20/darwin/go1.4.2. Geth creates the accounts, but then always fails to unlock them (naturally, using the very same password). Seems like it looks for a wrong file (dba1d6db83a3cae28beac8850f2e9e5592572cf7 file is in keystore, allright, but it looks for something else entirely):

It looks like it the hex of a hex . What if you prefix your key with 0x

@zelig You're right, it's hex of hex. Our mistake, we didn't test this flag after the key store PR merge yestereday. Fix: #946

[debris]

I also reproduced this issue on OSX 10.10, 6dec904.

It looks like Library/Ethereum/keystore directory do not exist. My previous keys were stored in Library/Ethereum/keys. I tried to copy them from old directory to new one, but then i get the following error:

> admin.unlock(eth.coinbase, 'super_secret', 10 * 60 * 1000)
Unlock account failed 'encoding/hex: invalid byte: U+0069 'i''
false

@debris read "upgrade" section https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/releases/tag/v0.9.20

[debris]

Thanks!

[arvicco]

Same stuff if I prefix with 0x, doesn't matter:

[arvicco]

I confirm that the latest --devel version resolved this specific issue on OSX.

[obscuren]

Yes, this has been fixed. Sorry about the fuck up!
