Ui not displaying anything

Hello good morning.
My UI stoped display today and only displays connection lost at the bottom left of the screen. I have lost of dashboard nodes in my flow but still cant get anything in the ui

Connection lost means that node-red is probably stopped. Have you checked it it is still active?
Also make sure to refresh your browser.

Yes node red is still active. I have refreshed the browser and even try using a different one but i got the same problem.

What happens if you stop/restart NR?

nothing changed. i just did that now.

Does it work on the node-red machine if you open http://localhost:1880/ui/ ?

What is the IP of your node-red machine? Is it DHCP? Perhaps it has a new IP address?

Have you looked at the startup log from node-red to see if there is anything there. Depending on how you installed it you may be able to get that by running
node-red-stop
node-red-start
Possibly worth posting it here.
Have you installed another dashboard possibly?

its the same thing in localhost. blank screen with connection lost.

i did this too but nothing changed

Did you make any changes just before this happened?

Please export your flow and attach it to a reply (read this first)

Did what? Also you haven't posted the log.

here is the log

Your flow credentials file is encrypted using a system-generated key.
If the system-generated key is lost for any reason, your credentials
file will not be recoverable, you will have to delete it and re-enter
your credentials.
You should set your own key using the 'credentialSecret' option in
your settings file. Node-RED will then re-encrypt your credentials
file using your chosen key the next time you deploy a change.

1.Is the node-red editor working ok?
2. Do you expect all those errors and warnings in the log? If not then it might be worth sorting those in case the problem is a side effect of one of those.
3. If you run top in a terminal is it showing that node red is using lots of processor?

Yes the node red editor is working very well with no issues
I dont understand the second point
Wen i do top i dont get anything about node red.
I have even reinstalled node red the same thing. I went on as to even flashing my pi back to a raspbian but still the same errors.

What @Colin was asking it there are numorus [warn] and two [error] messages in the startup log and they may be part of the problem.

  1. go into your flow and disable the telegram node and sqlite node - down in the lower left of every node is a enable/disable button. So disable those nodes.

  2. the first image you posted looks like it you were accessing the dashboard from a phone. What if yo access it from the NR editor?
