Title: Bitcoin Client Problem
Post by: quinnygoth on December 20, 2011, 01:45:14 AM
Hi everybody

I've got a problem with Bitcoin Client. I'm running a MacBook Pro 10.5.8 and I've installed the Bitcoin Client app but the app wont launch. The icon bounces a couple of times on my dock and then the notice that says "Bitcoin Qt quit unexpectedly, do you want to relaunch etc." pops up. This happens repeatedly.

Does anybody have any idea what might be wrong?

Thanks  :)

Can you have a look at your debug.log file?

You can find that in your home directory under Library/Application Support/Bitcoin

If you have no money in your bitcoin wallet, you can always try deleting that entire directory, so it can be re-initialized...

what if you do have bitcoins there?

@deejay then simply don't delete it. I assume you're having the same problem as quinnygoth?

You can move the folder somewhere else to see if the problem goes away, but please send the debug.log file  like kinlo said nevertheless so he can help you better.

in my case, it's not even creating the Bitcoin directory, so the only error I can see is what Apple would get if you file a report:

I guess it's linked for 10.6 or later?

Did you verify that the installer isn't corrupt? Try to download it again and re-install.

why would the downloaded volume mount if it's corrupted?

Now that looks like a fun Error

I would re-download the Bitcoin software and reinstall what ever software this is in

I finally figured this out from reading this thread. You need to move or rename the old bitcoin folder. The crash is caused by the new client not being able to create a bitcoin folder.

My client doesn't properly stop when closed. I can still see bitcoin-qt running in the task manager. Does anybody have the same issue? I'm on Windows 7.

I have the same issue on OSX 10.6.8

I'm on Windows Vista.

I've had it take up anywhere between 30-45 seconds to stop after the gui has gone due to tidying up, writing to the database, clearing database logs etc. This is on a truecrypt encrypted drive though.

In my case it doesn't stop at all. Have to 'End Process'.

can you run a windows compiled "tail" either from Services for Unix (SFU) from microsoft, or cygwin.com on debug.log in the %appdata%\bitcoin directory. It should tell you whether it is still doing anything or not.

Yep, it's still cooking. Also, taking >40MB of RAM.

these should be your last set of lines in debug.log (upnp might be different depending on whether you are using it.)
db.log may also contain some information.

Code:
DBFlush(false)
addr.dat refcount=0
ThreadMessageHandler exiting
ThreadSocketHandler exiting
addr.dat flush
UPNP_DeletePortMapping() returned : 714
ThreadMapPort exiting
ThreadOpenConnections exiting
blkindex.dat refcount=0
blkindex.dat flush
ThreadIRCSeed exiting
StopNode()
DBFlush(true)
Bitcoin exiting

also check whether there are any files in the %appdata%\bitcoin\database directory. There should only be one when finished.

After deleting db.log and debug.log you could try running,
Code:
"c:\program files\bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe" -rescan
though it shouldn't be necessary.

Did you manage to solve this problem ?

I am on 10.5.8 too ( can't upgrade ATM ) and using litecoind I get the same damn issue.

How did you fix it in the end ?

Thanks !

I did not manage to fix it, I've upgraded to OSX 10.7.3 and installed Bitcoin version 0.6.0.6-beta

There is some compatibility issue or a missing component/lib on 10.5.8

Damn it ! I cannot upgrade, unfortunately :'(

Are you sure it was not because the application could not create its directories ?

Or maybe shall I try copying a library that works over from a newer system onto the older system ?

I would greatly appreciate any input !

no, I tried all variations: a clean install, no old cruft or with an existing directory preloaded.

The program does not launch that far, it barfs before it gets that far. This is a lib problem.

If it was Linux, I could tell you what to do, Mac OS X is just voodoo, sorry ;-)

Would putting the lib from say 10.6 work ?

Will this influence other software dependent on this library ?

Is this library backwards compatible etc. ?

Thanks for the information SolarSilver !
