Hi everyone,
I’m encountering an issue while running KM Portable 8.0.84 “Next” version. I keep getting the following error: “No manifest found for kara.moe.”
I’ve attached the log for further details. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!
Just a side note: I opted for the portable version of “Next” since I’m planning ahead in case I need to switch PCs at the end of next year. But if necessary, I don’t mind switching to a user install. Let me know what the best approach might be.
Thanks in advance!

This is not an error but a warning so it’s not fatal, and it happens because there must be no files yet in the repository. Once it’s fully downloaded the message will stop appearing.
ok… but i am still receiving more errors after launching KM today…
“Failed to update repo kara.moe: Error: Cloning into ‘.’…
Host key verification failed.
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.”
i am using SSH keys:

The host key has nothing to do with your own ssh key. Try removing the file in app/sshkeys/known_hosts and start KM, it should reverify it and it should work fine this time
i removed the known host file but left the two id_rsa_KaraokeMugen_kara.moe files as it is and opened KM… unfortunately with same errors

Not sure of what to do there, removing the known hosts file and restarting KM should ahve fixed this.
We made some changes this week that’ll find themselves in the next release tomorrow, you might want to update then and see if it solves your issue. If it doesn’t we’ll try to invetigate further.
If you’re in a real hurry you can remove your SSH key and use a gitlab access token instead.
no its ok, i dont mind waiting. ill be sure to update and test and let you know how its going.
unfortunately still errors… attached is the log

I don’t see it trying to update the repository there, I’d suggest removing the app/repos/kara.moe folder and starting the app to see if it tries to recreate it.
sure. but i believe it is still empty. when clicking on the regenerate database button, it does say it has completed successfully…

You got it the wrong way : the repo isn’t updating so it’s empty.
Regenerating a database only takes all the files you have on disk to create the KM database your app uses to find songs.
So first try to setup your repository correctly, right now it’ sin maintainer mode so it expects gitlab credentials and everything. Once that’s set up and the files are there, your database will work just fine.
i believe i have already set up the repo according to the wiki but its still showing the same errors. log attached. the timestamp of “2025-06-24T02:04:20.221Z” is when i re-entered the details in the below screenshot

is there anything else i need to check, modify or set up?
edit: interestingly i am able to see inbox, but unsure if its the up to date one, but clicking on the Git tab under Maintainer in Settings shows “unable to check git repository status”
Attached is the log after viewing inbox and it added so many new logs it tripled the previous log file:

Okay, we’ll try to switch to Discord to debug this in real time because right now I have no idea of what’s wrong.
I won’t be able to help today, but tomorrow I should be a bit more free so we can try to look into this (or this evening but I believe you’ll be asleep by the time I get back home.)
sure, ive sent a dm regarding my availablilty… which is a bit hectic at the moment. i sincerely apologise in advance 
solved by AxelTerizaki through backend gitlab verification checks and aligning ssh keys in user, km and gitlab locations
