Yeah, that was it. I edited the file commenting out the line.
I wonder what changed the bitcoin.conf that way though since I certainly didn't.
Topic: Bitcoin-qt always reindexes blocks on startup [SOLVED] (Read 639 times)
Interesting. Find the bitcoin.conf file if it exists. It should be in ~/.bitcoin if you didn't change the defaults. Make sure that there isn't something like
Code:
reindex=1
in there. Is it promoting you to reindex or does it just happen? If the latter, check whatever your are using to start bitcoin core that it doesn't have the -reindex option set.
It just happens. I launch bitcoin-qt from the start menu in Xfce4. The .desktop is as follows:
Code:

I have upgraded to Bitcoin Core version v0.13.0.0-ga402396 (64-bit) on Ubuntu 15.10
Everytime I start it, it will do a Reindexing of blocks on disk from the start. It takes about a day to do so and consumes a lot of CPU.
I patiently wait for it to finish before closing it down. But the next time I start it, it will again do the reindexing from start.
What could be the issue here?
TIA.
