I think maybe it is time to switch from wxWidgets to Qt?

Topic: Bitcoin on Ubuntu 11.04 (Read 24736 times)
deleted /bitcoin folder (with its subfolders) and re-installed. Same error.
I will say that something just didn't seem right about the initial Bitcoin install. It never created a wallet.dat file, I searched high and low, even used the Ubuntu file search. I thought, well maybe it's only created on first use. So I sent 0.01 BTC from my windows box to Ubuntu. Never arrived. That was about the time of the freeze-up too. Now I've got a 0/unconfirmed transaction in my windows Bitcoin (whatever becomes of those orphaned trans?).

Can I just delete and re-run the script? There was nothing in the /bitcoin folder I needed. In fact I don't think it ever created a wallet.dat file
Yea, if you dont have any coins in your wallet.dat, just rm -r ~/.bitcoin and move on with it (though remember, that will delete all your coins so...) OK I had a system lock-up necessitating a hard reset. Now Bitcoin won't start:
EXCEPTION: 22DbRunRecoveryException
DbEnv::open: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery
bitcoin in AppInit()

If you delete wallet.dat you lose all your bitcoins. You can delete everything in .bitcoin but NOT Wallet.dat and Bitcoin.conf

Mines working here (Ubuntu Natty fresh installed about 2 weeks ago) although i always open mine from the command line and leave it open(helps debugging and just a habit really) try opening from command line if it hasnt already been suggested.
I don't understand what your saying, Walidzohair. What's the "sp"? EDIT: oh right, spesmilo.
If you're having trouble, it may be because my script is fetching the very latest sources of wxwidgets. But I can't seem to find a complete archive of the daily snapshots. They only seem to keep them for 3 days so I can't link to one that is known to be functional.
Also, I edited my previous post so it would compile bitcoind too.

Thanks a lot man for your time,
This what I call a true piece of work and help.
I will try it and post either way
did not work from first time and by the moment i discovered i need to bash it instead of sh it. i decided to go throw it manually and yet after a painful long compilation of the wx it works with an assertion error (as usual) .. i will give the other sp something trial but i will stick with the bitcoin
If i ever try the sp somthing I will post back here too.
Hi,
I think wxwidget is one big problem to bitcoin, why don't try using spesmilo gui for bitcoin ?, you can find it using the search command in the forum.
I will like create one package from spesmilo.
Greeting's.

Nope thanks for your efforts but this time i will stick to bitcoin client.
wolciph, thanks for the script; it worked!
I notice it installed to a 'user/bitcoin/bitcoin-bitcoin-12345e2' folder, that no 'daemon' folder was created, and with no bitcoind executable.
When I use the "-server" option, I get a Warning about setting rpcpassword in the configuration file: /home/user/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf' even though I did create that file.
I can't get it running in server mode.
EDIT: I got Bitcoin working in server mode by creating a 'bitcoin.conf' file within that 'bitcoin-bitcoin-12345e2' subfolder and then launching with this command: ./bitcoin -server -rpcuser=user -rpcpassword=pass
CPU mines at over 5 Mhash/s. Now I will attempt to get a GPU miner going.
THANK YOU.

I got it to work for the most part, but eventually I get an error (after the programs are installed, but before it makes a bitcoin directory)
it says:

I dunno if it is me the unlucky one or if there is something wrong with my system .. but now after i deleted every thing in my .bitcoin folder except the wallet.dat .. when i run the program it is fine and trying to pull the block chain and every thing is OK
BUT
when i click on the sent tab it gives an error that says
An Assertion failed!
./src/comoon/evtloopcmn.cpp(755):asser "assert failure"
failed in Yield(): wxYield called recursivley
it just continue if i press continue
finally it is my thrid day and not being able to pull all the chain block yet .. is that normal ?
