Topic: Bitcoin-Qt + Ubuntu live USB help (Read 1872 times)
I am getting the same errors as OP. Any Ubuntu-experts here care to help me out?
Not familiar with Ubuntu, but have you enabled all the repositories and refreshed the database?
There was an option to fix broken packages also I remember...

I gave up but i am thinking of going back to this as i would like to use bitcoins but has there been any updates or any new tools to use?
You can use LinuxCoin it's a pre-made distro with everything you need installed.
When using Ubuntu or any other linux first try to install what you want from the Package Manager (think App Store)
it's a million times easier than installing from a command prompt.

If bitcoin + live USB stick is impossible without knowing linux inside out is there an alternative setup that can be done through windows?
Hi all. Looking for some help setting up a live USB wallet. Totally new to Linux so please bare with me and feel free to point out the obvious if i am missing it. I have tried searching for the last two days but i am going round in circles and no closer to getting this running.
When I download and install the USB using Unetbootin in windows 7, i picked 12.04 live and installed to a 8gb USB stick giving 6 gig persistence thinking that can be used for the blockchain files.
I get it installed and on first boot to USB i open a terminal and
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install bitcoin-qt
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
bitcoin-qt : Depends: libboost-filesystem1.46.1 (>= 1.46.1-1) but it is not installable
Depends: libboost-system1.46.1 (>= 1.46.1-1) but it is not installable
Depends: libboost-thread1.46.1 (>= 1.46.1-1) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
So i scrapped that one and installed an older version from the Unetbootin
10.04 LTS says it can't install due to unmet dependencies - libqrencode3 which is not installable. Broken Packages.
Where an i going wrong?
