Want to use my wallet.dat in ubuntu which was encrypted using the windows QT
I renamed the default wallet in my ubuntu box
mv wallet.dat wallet.default
Then I copied the desired (windows encrypted) wallet.dat file over to my ubuntu desktop and just moved it into the directory ./bitcoin
sudo cp wallet.dat /home/altoidnerd/.bitcoin
now sure enough, the wallet.dat file (which was encrypted in windows) is there in the ./bitcoin directory
altoidnerd@altoidnerd-HP-EliteBook-8570w:~/.bitcoin$ ls -la
total 4304

-rw------- 1 altoidnerd altoidnerd 73728 Feb 7 17:43 wallet.default
But it won't recognize it; when I start qt I get
A fatal error occurred. Bitcoin can no longer continue safely and will quit.
EXCEPTION: St13runtime_error
CDB() : can't open database file wallet.dat, error 13
bitcoin in Runaway exception
The root priv. looks suspicious, but this is where my linux confidence ends.
