plz help, thanks: Well, I'll be damned, but I have a bitcoin client in windows. I copied the wallet.dat, put it into linux, put it into the ubuntu installation with a brand new bitcoin client downloaded from ubuntu software center, replacing the default wallet.dat and now I get these error messages:

exception nst8ios_base7failureECDataStream::read() : end of data bitcoin in AppInit()

EXCEPTION NSt8ios_base7failureECDataStream::read() : end of data bitcoin in CMyApp::OnUnhandledException()

what version is you "brand new bitcoin client" ubuntu repos are usually a few versions behind, last 2 versions have security updates, check bitcoin.org make sure you are up to date

Does the same wallet.dat still load in Windows?

It goes in the .bitcoin directory in your home directory. Dirs that start with a '.' are hidden. You can see them with 'ls -a'.

Yes, you just need the wallet.dat. The rest will be automatically downloaded.

If you want to transfer a wallet into a bitcoin client that's sitting in an Ubuntu install, where do you put it? I don't have much experience with Ubuntu, but all the bitcoin pieces don't seem to be sitting in one directory, so I just wouldn't know where to put the wallet. Is the wallet file the only file I need to transfer to get the bitcoin to recognise the bitcoins and to function perfectly?
