The .conf file is a real piece of work. Does anyone have a simple set of instructions to get this up and running with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS? Everything is a little fragmented...
Thanking you!
I'm also on Ubuntu 16.04 (MATE) and Orbitcoin is running fine.
Is your system 32-bit or 64-bit and did you download the correct version?
The default map of Orbitcoin on Ubuntu is .orbitcoin (in your Home map).
There you can create a file called orbitcoin.conf
If Orbitcoin doesn't start at all you probably need to change rights:
Right click orbitcoin-qt -> properties -> permissions -> check "Allow executing file as program"
