Title: ubuntu 11.10 bitcoin says loading addresses then dissapears Post by: bobsmith on April 05, 2012, 07:21:52 PM Hi guys,
I am running Ubuntu 11.10 on an eee pc (6 months old). I am a newbie to linux so please give me advice as if it was to your grandmother : ). I Installed bitcoin today using https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=53791.0 (Thanks for that) once installed bitcoin i went to the 'dash home' load bitcoin and it says loading addresses then dissapears I have uninstalled bitcoin and reinstalled three times. I have deleted the addr.dat file in .bitcoin folder I have restarted several times I have left it for a while In the file I initially downloaded from bitcoin.org the read me file (down at the bottom) said there was a problem with one of the qt programs for the screen so i turned that off(uninstalled) I have searched around this forum and others + google and can't seem to find an answer Thanks for your assistance in advance Title: Re: ubuntu 11.10 bitcoin says loading addresses then dissapears Post by: bobsmith on April 05, 2012, 07:34:35 PM Thanks for the quick reply

I have 71 Gb avalible When i ran the code you gave me i get this. bob@011235813:~$ tail ~/.bitcoin/debug.log Default data directory /home/bob/.bitcoin Loading addresses... dbenv.open strLogDir=/home/bob/.bitcoin/database strErrorFile=/home/bob/.bitcoin/db.log ************************ EXCEPTION: 22DbRunRecoveryException DbEnv::open: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery bitcoin in Runaway exception hopefully that is helpfull thanks again Title: Re: ubuntu 11.10 bitcoin says loading addresses then dissapears Post by: bobsmith on April 05, 2012, 07:49:27 PM Ok got it working
The debug gave me this '22DbRunRecoveryException' to look up. apparently 'This is a Berkeley DB version mismatch between the last and current version of bitcoin. Recovery is: make sure bitcoin is not running cd into your .bitcoin directory rm -rf db* database* .lock *.pid ' I used this site https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/809 (hope it is ok to post external links) Thank you for pointing me in the right direction Thanks from a new bitcoin user |
