My Server shut down due to a hardware defect an hour ago and after getting its replacement i cant seem to start up bitcoind anymore:


************************
EXCEPTION: 11DbException
Db::get: DB_PAGE_NOTFOUND: Requested page not found
bitcoin in AppInit()

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'DbException'
  what():  Db::get: DB_PAGE_NOTFOUND: Requested page not found
Aborted



Any fix for that?
*edit*
i think it is fixed now.. addr.dat was corrupted..

works nicely for me running on 64-bit Windows 7
and the tray icon finally disappears after I exit the client using the main window's menu.
good job! Wink

I'm glad that patch works Smiley. But I thought it would get in 0.7 ^^.

Tested the qt client on 64 bit archlinux. Seems ok except that every time I switch virtual desktops and switch back it has minimised itself to the system tray without me doing anything.

Let me guess, other apps that have a tray-option don't do that? Did you try older official releases, same behaviour?

Dia
Right, this is new behaviour with .6.3rc1 only.

well I am sorry you see it that way gmaxwell
Graet: "Meh" on that. It's getting called a serious vulnerability in part because of the preferences of the person who reported it. I wouldn't have called it that on my own, and it's of a class of DOS attacks that have been discussed in public before.
some other stuff not related
well gmaxwell we need some (oh god again) standards - so ppls opinions have some meaning
if a dev announcves a serious vuln - it shouldnt be a "matter of opinion"


Dear gmaxwell, Graet, and all,
 
 The fact that we do not have a standard to describe how severe a vuln is, is the source of the problem. I consider the vulnerability SERIUS (as any other vulnerability) as Gavin posted. But SERIUS is not the same as SEVERE. I don't consider the vuln severe.

I don't remember having pressed anyone to say the vuln had to be called in any way. I just asked for akwnoledgement!

I tried to establish a severity standard in https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/vulnerability-bounties-proposal-79830
But consensus was not reached.
I think I will formalize it to help the next time a vuln is found.

Nevertheless the page https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/CVEs describes the vuln perfectly: "Attacker can disable some functionality, for example by crashing clients".

No more, no less.


Best regards!
And thanks Gavin and the dev team for fixing the vuln for the good of all of us.




Thank you Sergio_Demian_Lerner you seem to understand my point

Runs fine on Ubuntu 11.10.

There's one thing that I also noticed in 0.6.2: I can't access the menus (they don't show up when I point my mouse to the gray bar at the top of my screen). So I'm not able to encrypt my wallet..

Can you post a screenshot?

Dia

Funny, I was about to make a screenshot of it and suddenly the menu was there.

The Qt GUI gets sluggish on (slow) machines when initial blockchain download is running, this should be resolved or getting way better with 0.7.

"highly offensive" and "entitled" ?

Yes, entitled,— where you expected to be contacted privately in advance of the "announcement". (Never mind that the stuff in question has been public for a while)

Quote
Some people talk about getting standards in place - some don't seem to care so much, for over a year I have been idling in -dev and seen the "standards" topic come up over and again

I have no clue what you're talking about there.  My grepfu fails me because I can't find anywhere where people have asked about that.  Also, I still don't understand how you think my personal preferences proves a lack of uniformity— preferences differ.  I also still don't understand your argument about about the classification being unclear since it was described specifically in the announcement instead of just being given a class.  ::shrugs::

Working fine on  Windows7 32bit.
btw, just updated zh-CN translations.


Translation updates are no critical fixes, but new translations will be in 0.7.
