Title: Where to add the wallet in an ubuntu installation? Post by: chufchuf on June 21, 2012, 09:51:16 PM If you want to transfer a wallet into a bitcoin client that's sitting in an Ubuntu install, where do you put it? I don't have much experience with Ubuntu, but all the bitcoin pieces don't seem to be sitting in one directory, so I just wouldn't know where to put the wallet. Is the wallet file the only file I need to transfer to get the bitcoin to recognise the bitcoins and to function perfectly?

Yes, you just need the wallet.dat. The rest will be automatically downloaded. Title: Re: Where to add the wallet in an ubuntu installation? Post by: Stephen Gornick on June 21, 2012, 10:02:22 PM - http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Data_directory

I copied the wallet.dat, put it into linux, put it into the ubuntu installation with a brand new bitcoin client downloaded from ubuntu software center, replacing the default wallet.dat and now I get these error messages:
