All right, now we're getting somewhere.

If you just want to get it running again, try this:

mv ~/.bitcoin ~/.bitcoin-old
mkdir ~/.bitcoin
cp ~/.bitcoin-old/wallet.dat ~/.bitcoin

Then restart the client. It will download the blockchain again and then it should work.

If you want to dig deeper into why it failed we can, but that's harder.

Thank you for this. Not only has it allowed my client to open again, but it's fixed another problem that has plagued me since 0.6.2. Now I can see my file, settings, and help options in the toolbar again. For some reason that bug happened to me I think around 0.6.2 upgrade.

Take a look at /home/seth/.bitcoin/db.log . What's there?

I'm not a techie but I tried my best.

I went to my terminal and put in

Code:

less ./.bitcoin/debug.log

which brought up the log. But in order to get to the bottom, or most recent logs I typed SHFT + G but it didn't take me to the bottom, it sort of screwed it up where I couldn't scroll up anymore. Pathetic, I know. So, it was a fruitless venture. Any better way to read the log?

Yesterday my computer crashed and since then I have been unable to get the Satoshi client to fully load.

The debug.log might help tell you what its doing.

My computer is 8 years old and is on its last leg. The Satoshi client has always been a bit of a resource hog for me. Yesterday my computer crashed and since then I have been unable to get the Satoshi client to fully load. The closest I can get is for it to shows its wallet graphic, but it just sits there, clicking, and it freezes the rest of my computer to the point where I have to do a hard shut down.

I have my wallet backed up properly, I hope. What should I do from here? Should I remove/reinstall the Satoshi client? How can I access my coins?

OS = Ubuntu 12.04

Client = 0.6.3
