i can confirm that, provided instructions dont work in 11.04
I found an issue today with ubuntu 11.04 using either unity or compiz and the bitcoin GUI not working - the window simply does not appear. There was already a workaround submitted to the wxwidgets repository so I've applied that patch to my ppa. Please try installing the latest version from https://launchpad.net/~stretch/+archive/bitcoin and see if that works for you. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:stretch/bitcoin sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install bitcoin |

First of all, thanks for this.
I was able to add this PPA and install without a problem using Ubuntu 10.10. However the repository has version 0.3.24 of the client. Any plans on updating this to version 0.4.0?

Hey is this still active? The version in the repos seems to be 0.3.24-beta, and 0.4.0 has been out for a while.

Thanks graingert it installed flawlessly on 11.10. Easy to follow guide for ubuntu 11.10 :
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install bitcoin-qt
Now you have a nice bitcoin-qt application in the office menu.

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 8842CE5E Bitcoin-qt didn't show up in the Ubuntu Software Center until I ran that command, but I did see bitcoind. Can anyone explain why, please? |

Just started Ubuntu on VM and still no bitcoin in repositories after 2 years of the project activity & dynamic development.
Is somebody working on officially pushing bitcoin to central/canonical Ubuntu repos ? This could significantly increase BTC popularity.
(The same with other distros)

I'm of the opinion that bitcoind/Bitcoin-Qt shouldn't be pushed to the central/canonical repos until we hit version 1.0.
Until then, I think we change too much too often (e.g. the blockchain format completely changed in the 0.8 release, and the wallet format will likely be changed before we hit version 1.0).
|
How often do you get the chance to work on a potentially world-changing project?

Exactly. You never get a second chance to make a first impression. |

Better integration with Ubuntu Unity is needed. I find that the Bitcoin menu does not appear on the Unity top menu bar.

Same here. Since this are packages for Ubuntu it would be expected by a normal user to behave correctcly with its default DE. |
