Hi all. Looking for some help setting up a live USB wallet. Totally new to Linux so please bare with me and feel free to point out the obvious if i am missing it. I have tried searching for the last two days but  i am going round in circles and no closer to getting this running.

When I download and install the USB using Unetbootin in windows 7, i picked 12.04 live and installed to a 8gb USB stick giving 6 gig persistence thinking that can be used for the blockchain files.

I get it installed and on first boot to USB i open a terminal and

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install bitcoin-qt

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 bitcoin-qt : Depends: libboost-filesystem1.46.1 (>= 1.46.1-1) but it is not installable
              Depends: libboost-system1.46.1 (>= 1.46.1-1) but it is not installable
              Depends: libboost-thread1.46.1 (>= 1.46.1-1) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


So i scrapped that one and installed an older version from the Unetbootin

10.04 LTS says it can't install due to unmet dependencies - libqrencode3 which is not installable. Broken Packages.

Where an i going wrong?

If bitcoin + live USB stick is impossible without knowing linux inside out is there an alternative setup that can be done through windows?

You can use LinuxCoin it's a pre-made distro with everything you need installed.

When using Ubuntu or any other linux first try to install what you want from the Package Manager (think App Store)
it's a million times easier than installing from a command prompt.

Not familiar with Ubuntu, but have you enabled all the repositories and refreshed the database?
There was an option to fix broken packages also I remember...

If you want Bitcoin-Qt download the latest version from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.8.1/

No installation, just unpack.
