Anyone knows how to run the latest version of Dash on Ubuntu 14.04?

I get these files and can't open them. I'm kind of an ubuntu noob...

Just  go to directory where qt is using terminal and execute it.
For instance, i keep my dash-qt on a desktop.
So open terminal and type

cd /home/Desktop
./dash-qt --reindex

Hi. I tried the above suggestion and I get the error: No such file or directory
Any ideas what's causing that?

Wild guess, you are using 32-binaries on a 64-bit system?
if so, you need to have 32-libraries present to run them.

I am definitely using 64-binaries on a 64-bit system. Thank you though.

The files are in subfolders in your image.  This will copy to your desktop first.  (Desktop may or may not be capitalized)
cp /home/Desktop/dash-0.12.0/bin/dash-qt /home/Desktop/
cd /home/Desktop
./dash-qt --reindex

Yes, command line works for loading but they used to be able to be opened via double click without error, regardless of file location.

Thanks TS.  Ahh.  Not so easy to fix that.

Crowning, thanks for your input too.  Any chance we can force a wallet backup after mixing?  Or maybe just add a note near the darksend mixing rounds/amount option or a dialog ok box that warns you to backup your wallet after mixing?

Crowning actually put in the function of a backup.  If you look in your dash folder, you'll find a backup folder and that will have the last backup (I think at shutdown) of your wallet.  It's really awesome to have that!  Especially when you're air headed as I am, LOL.

Ok. I tried cd ...... and then cd /Desktop ..... and then i get the error: No such file or directory

Gosh, I don't know.  Are you able to right click inside the folder and choose terminal?  I usually have to add that function every time I update my Ubuntu.  Are you using Ubuntu?  If so, try this:

nautilus-open-terminal and nautilus-actions packages are available in Universe repository of Ubuntu 14.04. So run the below commands to enable universe repository and also to install above mentioned packages.

sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal
sudo apt-get install nautilus-actions

Finally run nautilus -q command to quit nautilus.Now you can be able to see Open in terminal option on right-clicking.

From here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/207442/how-to-add-open-terminal-here-to-nautilus-context-menu incase you need more info.  I'm pretty sure that's how I did it when I upgraded to 14.04

Useful yes, but I read somewhere that it makes backups without encryption/passphrase... is this not the case? I disabled it just because I have my own backups and don't need another attack vector. Don't really remember where I read it but it should be clarified since it's enabled by default.

Totally frustrating. I absolutely appreciate all the assistance though.

I believe the concern was that it would create a backup file for a new wallet before you had enabled encryption. Thus you'd be going along thinking all you wallets are encrypted but there could potentially be that first backup that isn't. I have not confirmed this.

Also, how can enforcement be on when there is still unpaid blocks (jmma) and paid to older versions.

We turned it off, the cycle is way too small due to only a few masternodes being updated when v12 came out at first. When it settles down we'll enable it again. In the mean time I asked coinmine to pay random masternodes rather than using the winners list which will work till enforcement is enabled. We'll fix this so it doesn't happen in the next update.

Do you have the .tar.gz version of the file open in those windows?  You need to uncompress the dash-qt.  You should just be able to drag dash-qt in that window to an open space on your desktop.  Then try the cd /home/Desktop and ./dash-qt --reindex

Otherwise, from the command line. Try cd ~/ this should put you in /home/.  Type ls.  This will list the files.  cd Desktop and ls and cd dash-0.12.0 one folder at a time until you see the dash-qt.  Then type ./dash-qt

The backup is cool.  I guess I was thinking it did a backup on startup, which now that I think about it wouldn't make sense.  If it backs up at shutdown, then we are good.

Alright. When I type what you suggest.... I get no errors. wouldn't typing: ./dash-qt --reindex    be what follows next? If it does... I get the: No such file or directory error still.

Yes. Drug the dash-qt to desktop. Then tried cd /home/Desktop and ./dash-qt --reindex
Terminal says:      bash: cd: /home/Desktop: No such file or directory

Tried: cd ~/
no errors.

YES !!    Each command worked. The core wallet launched. It says I have zero dash.... but also says that it is 1 year and 16 weeks behind. So thankful for the help. Going to see where I end up after the sync.

Fantastic, your welcome.  Wait until it syncs.  Next time to start just type: ./dash-qt
The list command is LS not IS, use lowercase though.

This Linux 101 session is over, on to talk about Dash again.

So does masternode voting then solve the hard problem of 'Benevolent dictator for life' within an open source blockchain decision making conundrum that bitcoin is struggling with at the moment?
http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2014/01/on-the-reign-of-benevolent-dictators-for-life-in-software/283139/

I know you're not meaning to be talking about Evan Duffield, but yes, I do think that's the plan.  This project, Dash, still very much has a leader, thus a "Benevolent Dictator" but I'm quite sure from what he has said, he doesn't want that position for life, LOL.  So how do you fill an entrepreneur's shoes?  You make the people compete.  Why would they compete?  Because they're gonna get paid!  So eventually, Evan should be able to step away knowing his project will survive  And with masternode voting + community input, direction should be a clear indication of which direction to go.
Even better, Evan could one day compete for funds for a new project, just like everyone else, and start something new.  He doesn't have to maintain the main program the rest of his life, but go off on his own once again, yet still be benefiting his baby, Dash.  As long as we can keep his interest, we can keep Evan!  You know I'm all for that!  LOL
So yes, I think so

Nice answer, Tante, you have a great grammatical prose way of summing up what I was trying to say.
I like how you left out the 'for life' part, so we can tick this off as another hard problem solved.

Hard problems solved already

How to instantly confirm a transaction in an otherwise slow blockchain while still part of the client and remaining decentralized : solved
How to provide lasting incentive to full nodes to seed quickly, reliably and guard network integrity : solved
How to resolve the 'benevolent dictator for life' in software development while maintaining decentralized leadership : solved

No kidding! How can I be the only one? My transactions are showing up now. 14 weeks left till sync. Total balance is almost what it was. I adore everything that Dash stands for... but I have to admit.... it's not completely user friendly at this point. Rolling with the punches... or updates at this point.   Couldn't do it without you folks. Can't thank you enough.   Enormous high five to Solarminer... and everyone else that lent a hand.

[Sub-Ether]

If I generate a new receive address on a wallet and send funds to it.  Then load an old wallet, it still gets the transaction.  Just the label of that transaction won't come through.  If all the inputs/outputs of mixing go through the blockchain an old wallet version should still get the inputs.  Is there something else that causes this to fail?  Maybe the wallet can't allow a send and receive from the same wallet when it syncs old transactions?  Can this be fixed?
Requiring a backup after mixing doesn't seem like a production level solution.

Backup wallets keep 1000 unused addresses.  If your mixing used up those addresses, then a backup will not show any of the addresses generated afterwards, and with nearly 1000 coins, you probably have gone through many of those addresses

Thanks TS.  Ahh.  Not so easy to fix that.
Crowning, thanks for your input too.  Any chance we can force a wallet backup after mixing?  Or maybe just add a note near the darksend mixing rounds/amount option or a dialog ok box that warns you to backup your wallet after mixing?

But you can increase the number of keys made with keypool in the config at wallet startup so using keypool=100000 for example.
Satoshi said that each key uses 1k, so normally only 1 megabyte space used for default 1000, you could easily increase it to 100,000 keys and still only use 100 megabytes, I imagine loadup and wallet encryption may be a little slow.

weird stuff! my MN got 3 payments today! In 3hour-ish intervals.

10.5 dash in a timespan of around 9 hours. what are the ods huh!

Which version and protocol do u have on your node now?

5 nodes here and nothing since 9 days LOL

I think it was two payments inn 45 and one in 46. I didn't check balance while I was changing version.
They are both compiled from source for he pi2
