Title: Modern Problems - Ubuntu not running clients properly Post by: fm1234 on April 08, 2013, 06:23:15 PM Anyone have any idea how the hell to get Bitcoin working on Ubuntu?
Some specifics: 1) No, nothing on this forum related to Ubuntu appears to apply to 12.10, which is what I'm running. I had no issues until I updated to 12.10, now nothing works. 2) No, nothing on the Ubuntu forum helps. 3) No, nothing in the first four pages of a Google search helps. How the farking zarquon did Ubuntu manage to ditch Bitcoin? I sort of need a working client here. Any pointers would be appreciated.

First try this. Open a terminal and run: wget http://superb-dca2.dl.sourceforge.net/project/bitcoin/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.8.1/bitcoin-0.8.1-linux.tar.gz tar -xf bitcoin-0.8.1-linux.tar.gz bitcoin-0.8.1-linux/bin/64/bitcoin-qt (Or use 32 if you're on a 32-bit system) Then let us know what it says if it doesn't work.

The terminal command above appears to have worked; I am waiting right now for an extremely long sync up period to end, and hopefully will be able to use the wallet without an issue afterwards. Frank |
