Title: Bitcoin on Ubuntu 11.04 Post by: dust on April 22, 2011, 08:02:46 PM I made the mistake of upgrading to Ubuntu 11.04 and can't seem to get the graphical client running. Neither the released binary nor the binary I compiled myself will show the graphical interface. The debug.log file indicates that at least the IRC communications are working.
Has anyone been able to run the graphical client on 11.04? Title: Re: Bitcoin on Ubuntu 11.04 Post by: ploum on April 22, 2011, 09:29:30 PM The deb package done by tuxsoul for 10.10 still works for me (but with some error that popup during launch)

Neither the released binary nor the binary I compiled myself will show the graphical interface. The debug.log file indicates that at least the IRC communications are working. Has anyone been able to run the graphical client on 11.04? Perhaps you need to re-install...??? The bitcoin client works on virtually any stable linux version... No matter what "release". Title: Re: Bitcoin on Ubuntu 11.04 Post by: humble on April 29, 2011, 02:17:18 AM Yep, same problem here. Upgraded to Natty and now Bitcoin GUI doesn't come up anymore - neither in Unity nor in Gnome. Tried upgrading to 0.3.21 and recanning the blockchain but still no joy.
Bitcoind still shows my balance (fortunately!) Title: Re: Bitcoin on Ubuntu 11.04 Post by: RodeoX on April 29, 2011, 03:26:55 AM Thanks for the heads up I was going to upgrade this week.
I filed a report with Ubuntu about this. Title: Re: Bitcoin on Ubuntu 11.04 Post by: jawsdaws on April 29, 2011, 12:20:03 PM On Natty, I could get the Bitcoin client to show up in only Ubuntu classic (No effects) mode. It seems there is a problem with compiz in 11.04.
Title: Re: Bitcoin on Ubuntu 11.04 Post by: FatherMcGruder on April 29, 2011, 03:56:29 PM Anyone else get burned with the upgrade? At first I all I could get was a black screen, but after a bit of mucking around, I could get to a classic desktop with an Nvidia driver that's active but not in use. It also boots up slower than with 10.10. I've been poking around the Ubuntu forums, but I'm still not sure what to do about it.
Title: Re: Bitcoin on Ubuntu 11.04 Post by: omegamormegil on April 29, 2011, 06:15:34 PM Yes, the gui stops coming up after the upgrade to 11.04 (Ubuntu Natty), unless I choose the Ubuntu Classic (no effects) option at the login screen.
Reinstalling (deleting the folder and unpacking the tarball again) changed nothing. Edit: Here's the Launchpad bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/758398 Title: Re: Bitcoin on Ubuntu 11.04 Post by: trout on April 29, 2011, 07:32:41 PM I just upgraded to Natty. Luckily, compiz doesn't work :-D so I'm bacl to "classic" by forced default.
bitcoin works. Title: Re: Bitcoin on Ubuntu 11.04 Post by: dust on April 29, 2011, 08:00:08 PM The graphical client doesn't work with either unity or classic for me.
Title: Re: Bitcoin on Ubuntu 11.04 Post by: alkor on April 29, 2011, 09:28:59 PM I think maybe it is time to switch from wxWidgets to Qt?
Title: Re: Bitcoin on Ubuntu 11.04 Post by: FatherMcGruder on April 30, 2011, 02:45:19 AM Everything seems to be working nicely now. I just had to go into classic mode and uninstall and reinstall the nvidia driver. Unity is pretty neat.
Title: Re: Bitcoin on Ubuntu 11.04 Post by: partyp on April 30, 2011, 07:10:03 PM i made the mistake of updating to 11.04 as well..
i reinstalled my nvidia drivers and still do not see the bitcoin GUI in ubuntu classic.. :( Title: Re: Bitcoin on Ubuntu 11.04 Post by: trentzb on April 30, 2011, 07:13:21 PM I went a bit further and stripped compiz out entirely, logout/login with Ubuntu Classic and all is good on 11.04 now.
Title: Re: Bitcoin on Ubuntu 11.04 Post by: kuracisto on April 30, 2011, 08:22:02 PM I have no intention of dumping Unity solely to run bitcoin, and it appears from my experience and other reports that there is some problem between the two.
Can anyone suggest a workaround? Is anyone working on a fix? Title: Re: Bitcoin on Ubuntu 11.04 Post by: xur17 on April 30, 2011, 09:21:40 PM I am having trouble running bitcoin on 11.04 x64. I tried a few different packages, and the tar.gz from bitcoin.org, but none work for me. I start the program, and nothing comes up (and no output to the console).
Any ideas? Title: Re: Bitcoin on Ubuntu 11.04 Post by: alkor on May 01, 2011, 05:20:41 AM Can anyone suggest a workaround? Is anyone working on a fix? Well, right now my workaround is to just use the CLI via bitcoind.Title: Re: Bitcoin on Ubuntu 11.04 Post by: trentzb on May 01, 2011, 07:18:35 AM Workarounds/Ideas:
- Login with Ubuntu Classic - Remove Compiz/Disable Compiz - Use bitcoind Did you try any/all of these? Title: Re: Bitcoin on Ubuntu 11.04 Post by: wolciph on May 01, 2011, 04:41:37 PM I am quite sure this is a bug in bitcoin and not in Ubuntu since the same thing seams to happen with other window managers. See this bug report: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/128
Title: Re: Bitcoin on Ubuntu 11.04 Post by: Matt Corallo on May 01, 2011, 05:49:45 PM This is a problem with wxWidgets, works fine if you compile with wxWidgets-trunk. For those who cannot/will not do that, the bitcoin-gui 0.3.21 binaries are posted at: http://bitcoin.bluematt.me/bitcoin-nightly/ubuntu-11.04/ (http://bitcoin.bluematt.me/bitcoin-nightly/ubuntu-11.04/). Works with Ubuntu classic and the new crap. Just download, right-click -> permissions -> check the "execute" box and be on your way.
Technical stuff: For reference, this binary works fine on 10.10 as well, I suppose we should be building this binary by default instead. Appears to be http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/13146 (http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/13146), but doesnt work if you simply apply http://trac.wxwidgets.org/changeset/67496 (http://trac.wxwidgets.org/changeset/67496). I probably didn't look into the matter far enough, but it works with trunk, so I don't really care to. Title: Re: Bitcoin on Ubuntu 11.04 Post by: ploum on May 01, 2011, 08:21:20 PM By the way, are you using Unity? What do you think of this new interface?
Title: Re: Bitcoin on Ubuntu 11.04 Post by: wolciph on May 01, 2011, 10:13:47 PM After compiling with latest wxWidget daily snapshot, I can confirm the GUI is working fine here.
By the way, are you using Unity? What do you think of this new interface? I hate it. It takes up space and I find the new menu system a real pain. I just switched to the classic interface after a few minutes. Title: Re: Bitcoin on Ubuntu 11.04 Post by: dust on May 01, 2011, 10:15:55 PM By the way, are you using Unity? What do you think of this new interface? Unity seems only appropriate for netbooks to me.On topic: Building with the trunk of wxWidgets worked for me.

Thanks for posting that. :) Title: Re: Bitcoin on Ubuntu 11.04 Post by: alkor on May 02, 2011, 07:06:00 PM Maybe it is time to migrate the GUI from wxWidgets to Qt. How hard would that be?

I don't want to trust some binaries uploaded by someone one some server :-\ Title: Re: Bitcoin on Ubuntu 11.04 Post by: Matt Corallo on May 02, 2011, 07:46:29 PM When will there be official binaries out there? I don't want to trust some binaries uploaded by someone one some server :-\ Sadly not till the next version I'm afraid. Gavin doesn't have time right now and the build system is being redone for 0.4.0 (think distributed builds by many people so you don't have to trust any individual party). Building bitcoin yourself, however, isn't as bad as it seems. Follow the instructions in build-unix.txt and ask if you have any questions.

Code: SHA256: Title: Re: Bitcoin on Ubuntu 11.04 Post by: benfell on May 03, 2011, 07:53:46 AM Interesting. I am running Natty. I actually did try to build from source first and ran into some strange problem and so went with the precompiled binaries. There might be a couple differences: 1) I'm using Xubuntu, so I'm running under XFCE4 which is unaffected by all this Unity upheaval. 2) Following the directions, I did succeed in building WxWidgets. But I take it that that library is built into the the precompiled binaries:

Solution 1 now it works from http://bitcoin.bluematt.me/bitcoin-nightly/ubuntu-11.04/ for me .. still downloading the block chain and it shows my balance as 0 although it have all my previous transactions listed (with 0 confirmations) - is that normal ? until i get the whole block chain again ? The Solution For building with the wxwidgets-trunk, I have downloaded, compiled and installed the miniupnpc as indicated in the build-unix.txt in bitcoin source code. and now it gives a new error obj/db.o: In function `Unserialize<CDataStream>': /home/walid/Downloads/src/bitcoin-trunk/serialize.h:136: undefined reference to `fUseUPnP' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [bitcoin] Error 1 when I try to compile with make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP= also the same error when I try to compile with the USE_PNP:=0 commented in the makefile.unix or just use make -f makefile.unix I am guessing the problem is "To compile with UPnP support, install miniupnpc and compile after setting USE_UPNP" which I have no clue how to do it. although I used this thread as reference http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=6942.0 Any help would be appreciated since it is the really the right way to compile it yourself or downloaded from a public repository. Thanks Title: Re: Bitcoin on Ubuntu 11.04 Post by: walidzohair on May 04, 2011, 10:53:35 AM By the way, are you using Unity? What do you think of this new interface? Unity Sucks. is it even new ? it is the same as in the maverick netbook version! if that all what is the new release about then someone should really leave his ass kicked. Title: Re: Bitcoin on Ubuntu 11.04 Post by: Matt Corallo on May 04, 2011, 04:56:54 PM obj/db.o: In function `Unserialize<CDataStream>': No idea here. If you just build with make -f makefile.unix, which is equivalent to make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=0 do you get any errors (that is the proper way to build if you want UPnP support). If you build with make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP= the compiler should automatically optimize out any code which references fUseUPnP as fHaveUPnP is set statically and constantly to false. What compiler are you using and do you have any kind of CXXFLAGS set at compiletime?/home/walid/Downloads/src/bitcoin-trunk/serialize.h:136: undefined reference to `fUseUPnP' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [bitcoin] Error 1 when I try to compile with make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP= also the same error when I try to compile with the USE_PNP:=0 commented in the makefile.unix or just use make -f makefile.unix I am guessing the problem is "To compile with UPnP support, install miniupnpc and compile after setting USE_UPNP" which I have no clue how to do it. Sorry, poorly worded (shame on me), should compile with UPnP by default. although I used this thread as reference http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=6942.0 Really have no idea why this thread exists, from what I can tell, it is people who didn't know that you can use USE_UPNP= to unset it (which, to be fair, I didn't know either until I was told)is it even new ? it is the same as in the maverick netbook version! Exactly what I thought when I first saw it. Something like "They better change this crap before putting it as default on all desktops" but nope, they just left it.if that all what is the new release about then someone should really leave his ass kicked. To be fair, there is a ton of upgraded packages and changed default applications (which I all tend to agree with).Title: Re: Bitcoin on Ubuntu 11.04 Post by: Vasco on May 05, 2011, 06:47:08 AM Had the same problem, BlueMatt's version fixed it.

I think wxwidget is one big problem to bitcoin, why don't try using spesmilo gui for bitcoin ?, you can find it using the search command in the forum. I will like create one package from spesmilo. Greeting's. Title: Re: Bitcoin on Ubuntu 11.04 Post by: freecoin on May 13, 2011, 06:23:13 AM wolciph, thanks for the script; it worked!
I notice it installed to a 'user/bitcoin/bitcoin-bitcoin-12345e2' folder, that no 'daemon' folder was created, and with no bitcoind executable. When I use the "-server" option, I get a Warning about setting rpcpassword in the configuration file: /home/user/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf' even though I did create that file. I can't get it running in server mode. EDIT: I got Bitcoin working in server mode by creating a 'bitcoin.conf' file within that 'bitcoin-bitcoin-12345e2' subfolder and then launching with this command: ./bitcoin -server -rpcuser=user -rpcpassword=pass CPU mines at over 5 Mhash/s.

If you're having trouble, it may be because my script is fetching the very latest sources of wxwidgets. But I can't seem to find a complete archive of the daily snapshots. They only seem to keep them for 3 days so I can't link to one that is known to be functional. Also, I edited my previous post so it would compile bitcoind too.

Now Bitcoin won't start: EXCEPTION: 22DbRunRecoveryException DbEnv::open: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery bitcoin in AppInit() Can I just delete and re-run the script? There was nothing in the /bitcoin folder I needed. In fact I don't think it ever created a wallet.dat file If you delete wallet.dat you lose all your bitcoins. You can delete everything in .bitcoin but NOT Wallet.dat and Bitcoin.conf Title: Re: Bitcoin on Ubuntu 11.04 Post by: Matt Corallo on May 17, 2011, 10:09:34 AM Can I just delete and re-run the script?

In fact I don't think it ever created a wallet.dat file Yea, if you dont have any coins in your wallet.dat, just rm -r ~/.bitcoin and move on with it (though remember, that will delete all your coins so...)Title: Re: Bitcoin on Ubuntu 11.04 Post by: freecoin on May 18, 2011, 03:26:30 AM deleted /bitcoin folder (with its subfolders) and re-installed. Same error.
I will say that something just didn't seem right about the initial Bitcoin install. It never created a wallet.dat file, I searched high and low, even used the Ubuntu file search. I thought, well maybe it's only created on first use. So I sent 0.01 BTC from my windows box to Ubuntu. Never arrived. That was about the time of the freeze-up too. Now I've got a 0/unconfirmed transaction in my windows Bitcoin (whatever becomes of those orphaned trans?).
