Title: Restoring wallet in ubuntu
Post by: afarzin on July 26, 2011, 03:27:57 PM
I have two wallets, one in Windows, one in Ubuntu. I recently had to reinstall both operating systems so I backedup the wallets and reinstalled operating systems. Restoring the Windows wallet worked fine, copying my wallet in the .Bitcoin folder in ubuntu didn't really work and it seems to be the new wallet. Is there any trick in restoring the ubuntu wallet?

In "~/.Bitcoin" or "~/.bitcoin".
Also, try running with "-rescan" option.

I now realize the wallet I've been backing up in Ubuntu wasn't even the right one. Just stored in another user account in Windows and it's the same situation as in Ubuntu. Has anyone had restoring issues with Ubuntu?

Also, I believe I retrieved the wallet from homefolder/.bitcoin is there somewhere else it could have been?
