You need to enable Expert Mode on Ledger in Filecoin app.

[hyunmoon]

I did enable Export Mode per Magik6k's suggestion.
But I'll try it one more time just in case and report back.

You need to enable Expert Mode on Ledger in Filecoin app.

Not working

[hyunmoon]

Yes, not working even with export mode enabled.

[Stebalien]

@hyunmoon by "not working", do you mean that it failed with the same error, or a different error.

@ohJohanZ's initial issue was definitely not enabling Expert Mode. Unfortunately, changing the owner key requires two messages:

1. A message from the original owner to propose the change.
2. A message from the new owner to accept the change.

This ensures that target owner actually works.

Unfortunately, lotus attempts to send this second confirmation message from the new owner address, which doesn't work because it's a multisig address. This command needs to be fixed to support multisig confirmations.

[hyunmoon]

@Stebalien Failed with the same error. It failed to process the second confirmation message.

[hyunmoon]

Changing the owner to a normal (non-Ledger) SECP key worked.

[hyunmoon]

But Ledger key isn't a multi-sig key, is it?
My suspicion is the Ledger filecoin app has trouble signing the change owner address message.
Am I correct?

It’s not.

[Stebalien]

Ah, I'm sorry. I'm getting my issues confused (this one is about the ledger, not the multisig...).

This is a bug in the ledger code. For some reason, ledger only allows up to method number 7 in "expert" mode. It needs to allow all methods.

Is there an ETA on when Ledger will support owner address?

[arajasek]

Not really a Lotus issue, but let's keep this issue around to track. This or some version of it needs to land.

[oricot]

I have a similar problem. My owner is on secp256k1-ledger wallet. I received the same error when I try do withdraw or set a different owner. Should I open a new issue?

[Araquiel]

try to change owner to ledger wallet and have a same error.
did you found solution?

[oricot]

I m able to withdraw but I don't think their is a solution to change the owner. I didn't try for a while

[Zboi04]

I just tried making my owner address a secp256k1-ledger as well, and I'm getting the same error as ohJohanZ. I'm surprised this issue has been open for this long.

Hey!

I changed the owner-address of a storage provider to a Ledger-backed wallet (secp256k1-ledger) successfully on Lotus version 1.15.1-dev+2k+git.4c94ae45d today. So closing this issue as it seems to have been fixed.

I just followed the regular steps documented in the docs. You can see the repro here:
