Title: Problem with sync
Post by: Avgust Albertson on April 22, 2013, 08:36:04 AM
My sync wont start, what can I do?
I have used Bitcoin previously via Windows GUI miners, but never faced an issue like this before. I am now running Ubuntu 12.04 amd64 and using an updated 0.7.1 Satoshi client.

The sync looks like it is working, but the first block never loads. I have had the wallet synchronizing, but it is forever stuck at zero. My Internet connection is fine and have cleared the bitcoin directory and rebooted with no change.

While I am writing this I am watching my other rig drop blocks fine and its running Mint 13 with about a third of the resources I have on the computer giving the issues.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Specs:

    UBUNTU 12.04 updated
    AMD Phenom IIx4
    4 GB ddr3
    Nvidia EVGA 9800GTX
