Topic: BitCoin Client Won't Sync on Linux WINE Program (Read 968 times)
Fantastic. I finally have it running. Thank you so much!
Forget the PPA, just download the Linux tar.gz file, unzip it, then in the bin folder you will finds two subfolders, 32 (for 32-bit systems) and 64 (for 64-bit systems). Open the one that corresponds to you system and run bitcoin-qt. That's it. If you want to install it "properly", just copy bitcoin-qt to /usr/bin (requires root privileges).
I'm having a lot of trouble here. Before I downloaded BitCoin on Windows and used a .exe.
However, I have a different computer now and it is running Ubuntu 12.10. I have tried installing the client and have absolutely no idea what PPA is or how to install software on Ubuntu. Is there a good tutorial somewhere to do this?

I did that and I get E: Unable to locate package bitcoin-qt?
Any suggestions? I really just want to get Bitcoin working on Linux
Thanks!

Open a terminal and type:
Code:
sudo apt-get install bitcoin-qt
Done.
Hi everyone. This is my first post here. The computer I am using has Linux, and I am not good with Linux at all so I installed a Windows emulator called Wine which allows windows executable file to run.
I downloaded and installed WINE, downloaded the Bitcoin 32-bit client, installed, and now it is running. However, it is not syncing my wallet!
Any suggestions on how to start syncing? Thank you!
