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.
- 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.

- 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?

I disabled the nodes and also access the ui using the second means and dere was no different
Hello
Thanks very much to every one who help i finally opened a new flow added a ui node dere configured it, then restarted node red and boom the ui was there
