Title: Assertion Failure - Ubuntu Lucid Post by: singpolyma on July 16, 2010, 04:30:15 AM I'm running Ubuntu Lucid (32 bit), all packages up to date. I had run bitcoin 0.2 previously, and just downloaded 0.3. I ran bitcoind and I got:
bitcoin: main.cpp:823: unsigned int GetNextWorkRequired(const CBlockIndex*): Assertion `pindexFirst' failed. Aborted So I ran the bitcoin GUI, and it came up and showed my existing coins, but quickly gave me the same error and died. Then I went back and ran the 0.2 GUI again and I get: bitcoin: main.cpp:743: unsigned int GetNextWorkRequired(const CBlockIndex*): Assertion `pindexFirst' failed. Aborted Has my db got corrupted? Do I have a broken dependancy? I tried to build 0.3 from source but got many errors, probably missing some *-dev packages. Will look at that more later.

How many blocks do you have? (in the status bar) You should move your blk*.dat files (in ~/.bitcoin) to another directory and let it start over downloading the block chain again. If you don't mind, could you keep the old blk*.dat files for a little while in case I need to look at them? Title: Re: Assertion Failure - Ubuntu Lucid Post by: singpolyma on July 17, 2010, 10:17:16 PM I have 58464 blocks... haven't run the software in awhile
Title: Re: Assertion Failure - Ubuntu Lucid Post by: singpolyma on July 17, 2010, 10:19:48 PM Moved the block files... it's working through them all again. My coins disappeared, but I assume they'll come back when it's up to current?
Title: Re: Assertion Failure - Ubuntu Lucid Post by: satoshi on July 17, 2010, 10:37:06 PM My coins disappeared, but I assume they'll come back when it's up to current? Right, they'll re-appear when it's finished downloading all the blocks. Title: Re: Assertion Failure - Ubuntu Lucid Post by: romsek on August 15, 2011, 10:51:24 PM I just wanted to let you know that i experienced the exact same problem on Ubuntu 10.04.3 64-bit using the current version of the Bitcoin client. The block where it crashes is 130670.
