I have installed the Monero GUI and it was giving some errors so I went back to the cli. When I run ./monerod everything seems to work fine but when I do status it gives me -
Height: 1346603/1346603 (100.0%) on mainnet, not mining, net hash 99.90 MH/s, v5, up to date, 0(out)+0(in) connections, uptime 0d 0h 11m 57s
Why is it not connecting to peers? When I do start_mining it gives the error Error: Mining did not start -- BUSY. I looked at this to try and solve my issue but it still did not connect. I am using Ubuntu 17. Thank you for any help.

We can't tell without more information.

If you'd left monerod not running for a long time, it's plausible that it'll try to contact nodes which were running, but are not (either they're now down, or they were on dynamic IPs which changed since, etc).

It is also possible that peers banned your node. This would normally only happen if your node is on a bad fork and sends incorrect data to those other nodes. Check you are using monerod 0.10.3.1.

Another possibility is that your network connectivity is down.

To check what the network layer is doing: set_log 1.

To try and reset the set of known peers: exit monerod, rm ~/.bitmonero/p2pstate.bin, start monerod again
