bitcoin-qt Not Working

[Picaflor Azul]

Hi,

   I am running Linux Mint Mate 15. When I run bitcoin-qt at the command line I get the following error message:

"sni-qt/20148" WARN  13:43:00.185 void StatusNotifierItemFactory::connectToSnw() Invalid interface to SNW_SERVICE
bitcoin-qt: table/table_builder.cc:97: void leveldb::TableBuilder::Add(const leveldb::Slice&, const leveldb::Slice&): Assertion `r->options.comparator->Compare(key, Slice(r->last_key)) > 0' failed.
Aborted

It had been running fine for at least a few weeks, maybe even a few months, and then just stopped working.

Thanks,

Mark

I would be tempted to try this:

Make sure bitcoin is not running
cd into your .bitcoin directory
rm -rf db* database* .lock *.pid
