Bitcoin-Qt/bitcoind version 0.7.1 released

[ercolinux]

I am experiencing some problems after upgrading from 0.6.3 to 0.7.1 on the bitcoind that I use to process pyramining deposits and payouts. It is running on Linux (OpenSuSE 11.2).

My upgrade procedure:
- stopped 0.6.3 bitcoind
- replaced binaries with 0.7.1 ones
- started 0.7.1 bitcoind

At first, I had to download again all the blockchain because for some reason it was displaying the message "WARNING: Displayed transactions may not be correct!  You may need to upgrade, or other nodes may need to upgrade.", and I didn't find out how to repair it.

After the blockchain has been downloaded, it started working as expected, but after about 20 hours, I found it hung up and unresponsive. No way to stop it or kill it, even with -9.

After a reboot it started and worked well for a couple of hours, then the same trouble appeared again.

Environment:
ATOM D2500 dual core (64bit arch), 4GB/ram, 60Gb SSD, 100mbit/s ip connectivity, OpenSuSE Linux 12.1.
wallet.dat is around 200MB in size.

Behaviour: after working normally for few hours, it freezes. Debug log displays RPC commands, but they never return any result.

I am currently downgrading to 0.6.3, I will keep an eye open to see if the issue disappears using this version.

Strange: I use 0.7.1 on 2 different PC with no issues (I've upgraded them from 0.6.3 to 0.7 and then 0.7.1). Do you've compiled yourself the program or you're using the precompiled version?
Give a try at the RPM version or try to remove the blk* files in the bitcoin directory

On other machines it runs correctly, but they handle a lot less addresses/transactions, and yes, I tried to download the blockchain from scratch, but the issue appeared again.

@LightRider
I need to understand, when did you reboot and realized that helped? Seems a little weird to me. Perhaps there were orphan instances running, which went away after the reboot.

Upgraded -> Started bitcoin -> Tried donation links which failed -> Quit bitcoin -> Found multiple donation link processes and force closed them -> Tried starting bitcoin again, but would get no gui or unresponsive gui -> Tried your suggestion and got same result -> Reboot machine -> bitcoin works fine

In the thread for 0.7.1rc1 I reported a bug, and the final 0.7.1 still has it:
   https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=117874.msg1273313#msg1273313

Just wondering, if no one else can reproduce it, or if no one else of
you following these threads ever uses the "move" command.

You are free to do this everytime you observe issues .

@Diapolo: thanks for forwarding it to a more appropriate place!

I admit, I felt like trying to avoid the umpty+1st registration to
yet another bugtracking system (already have a sourceforge login,
and a couple others, but haven't used git so far).

In case I find more bugs, I'll consider registering.

Can't update bitcoin-qt using the PPA on ubuntu 12.10 quantal.
I see on the browser it's supposed to be there, but the update doesn't find it, nor it comes listed on the Software center.

Sounds like your package info is outdated. Try opening up terminal and running

Code:

sudo apt-get update

Then run

Code:

sudo apt-get install bitcoin-qt

If that doesn't work, post the output of

Code:

apt-cache policy bitcoin-qt

Hi All

I am having problems with ubuntu 64 bit 12.10 and bitcoin-qt 0.7.1.. Both fresh install.. I get no gui?? Can see bitcoind running in system resources?? 

Anyone else having the same prob??

Either run bitcoind, or bitcoin-qt. You can't run both at once (well, you can, but not out of the box, and it won't do what you want)

[yrtrnc]

Thanks mate  !

Now, what happened next!

So I ran bitcoin-qt and turned off bitcoind.. It was syncing fine, until I tried to restart the program. Then I got:

A fatal error has occured. Bitcoin can no longer continue safely and will quit.

Exception: St13runtime_error
CDB() : can't open database file wallet.dat, error 12
bitcoin in Runaway exception.

You *do* have a backup, don't you?  Terminate all running clients, restore from backup and restart...

Don't have one? And more than just a few peanuts of btc in the wallet? Probably not all hope is lost,
but prepare for a bumpy road ahead.

[yrtrnc]

Bumpy road??

Why would my wallet be lost anyhow?

I did not say "lost".

From what you wrote, it seems that the bitcoin-client has
difficulties to open and use your wallet. Most likely the
information is still stored in it, but you may have to do
some sorcery to get the client use it.  The much easier
way, of course, is when you have a backup.

I'm not a developer of any bitcoin-client.

What's current state of affairs?  Do you have a backup?
What order of value was stored in it? (i.e.: does it even
pay to spend effort on recovering it?)

For RPM user check here: http://www.openmamba.org/distribution/distromatic.html?tag=devel-contrib&pkg=bitcoin.i586

Moved to main branch of distro. Now the package is here: http://www.openmamba.org/distribution/distromatic.html?tag=devel&pkg=bitcoin.i586
Every time it'll be updated and accepted in main branch the package will be put there

Ummm, in what way are your RPM's "The offical frontend for the bitcoin cryptocurrency" ??

And what guarantees, (sigs, etc) do you supply that you actually built these binaries from the "official" source?

I ask because you post this in the official announcement thread for latest version release.

As for every package there is no warranty except the trust in the packager, but the source RPM is there too, so everybody can check it and eventually rebuilt from scratch  to verify that is built from the official source.

The sentence "The official frontend for the bitcoin cryptocurrency" is in the description and refers to the program bitcoin  not to my package; the description is there to make the search of the package faster in our frontend, but if it's misleading I can remove the sentence.

[yrtrnc]

No worries, had none in there anyway.

My main problem is every time I try to sync the blockchain I keep getting the same error before it completes.

Exception: St13runtime_error
CDB() : can't open database file wallet.dat, error 12
bitcoin in Runaway exception.

I delete all files and restart the process and same thing happens again and again...

Thanks for any help..

So yes, I reinstalled it again and half hour into it I get the same msg again.
"WARNING: Displayed transactions may not be correct!  You may need to upgrade, or other nodes may need to upgrade."

Then when I close and restart the program, I get:
A fatal error has occured. Bitcoin can no longer continue safely and will quit.

Exception: St13runtime_error
CDB() : can't open database file wallet.dat, error 12
bitcoin in Runaway exception.

Any ideas??

Can you pastebin your debug.log?

You can also try the newly introduced (0.7.1):

-salvagewallet command-line option, which moves any existing wallet.dat
  to wallet.{timestamp}.dat and then attempts to salvage public/private
  keys and master encryption keys (if the wallet is encrypted) into
  a new wallet.dat. This should only be used if your wallet becomes
  corrupted, and is not intended to replace regular wallet backups.

Here it is. I am running 0.7.1. I have cut the log a bit short.

Thanks
