i created a new virtual machine on Ubuntu and started from the beginig while following your steps and it worked !
thank you so much for you help Cheesy
i used gedit bitcoin.conf and gedit bitcoin and i was able to open the file but both .bitcoin and bitcoin.conf are empty ! there is nothing in both of them so i don't know why the command bitcoin-qt gives an 'payxfee' error ?
-snip-

.bitcoin is a folder not a file. Are you sure you are in the correct folder? What does ls -al return?

Exactly what command are you using to start Bitcoin Core? Go to ~/.bitcoin and double check that there is no bitcoin.conf file there. If there is, please post the contents of that file.

There will a bitcoin.conf with something along the lines of

Code:
...
paytxfee=0.00
...

@chu_11 from what you said you might not be able to see the .bitcoin folder. Its in your "home" (cd ~ in terminal) and its hidden (the . at the beginning). You might have to change how your folder browser shows folders. If you are in your home folder in the terminal you can just change into the hidden folder with cd .bitcoin even when you cant see it. You try opening the file with one of the following commands from terminal:

  • gedit bitcoin.conf
  • leafpad bitcoin.conf
  • nano bitcoin.conf

when running bitcoin.qt i get an error window "Invalid amount for -paytxfee=<amount>: '0.00' (must be at least 0.00001000 BTC/kB)" and the welcome sceen of bitcoin disapears Sad

why did i get this window? can you help please?
but i can't find the .bitcoin folder i only have bitcoind document.

sorry i'am a true begginer --'
First you need to run bitcoind or bitcoin-qt. If you have a desktop interface that you can use, then I suggest that you run bitcoin-qt. Only after you have done that will the ~/.bitcoin folder exist. You will then need to wait a long time for Bitcoin Core (the name of the actual software) to sync.

oops x) i didn't i actually thought that the bitcoin-conf is created automatically by bitcoin core.

Same as your wallet.dat, for linux thats usually in ~/.bitcoin
