Monero Support

[GingerAle]

Presumably monero will run properly on the new machine.  It's a chromebook c720p running galliumos, which is a linux distro designed specifically for chromebooks.
The chromebook is downloading the blockchain now.  But the old machine has the blockchain already on it.  Maybe if somebody can link to a post with instructions for exporting the blockchain, I'll do that.

its actually probably faster to just download the blockchain again than doing an export then import.

Agree, if you really want to import though, see intructions here:

https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero/releases/tag/v0.9.0

Under "Updating: Blockchain Conversion".

If it's linux on both the machines you could probably just copy the entire .bitmonero folder with the blockchain from your other machine. It should be compatible.

So, I have been running into this bug while "making" the bitmonero folder following gingeropolous's post here on this thread and have been running into this error:

Code:

-snipped- ...

Has anyone gotten this sort of thing before?  I updated and followed all the procedures up to this point... using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS btw.

Also, when it hits this point my computer gets SUPER slow and I can pretty much do nothing on it until I restart it.

Been having a few issues with installing 0.9.4. I got the following message about UNBOUND_LIBRARIES variable not being set.

CMake Error: The following variables are used in this project, but they are set to NOTFOUND.
Please set them or make sure they are set and tested correctly in the CMake files:
UNBOUND_LIBRARIES
    linked by target "unit_tests" in directory /home/viewkey/bitmonero/tests/unit_tests

See also "/home/viewkey/bitmonero/build/release/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".
See also "/home/viewkey/bitmonero/build/release/CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log".

There were some other issues during the make/install and those appeared to have been resolved after doing some searching. I haven't found anything regarding this issue.

I presume I shouldn't be touching the make file at all.

Any ideas?

Are you installing 0.9.4 or are you compiling the head source code from git? 0.9.4 just requires downloading binaries and using them.

Pretty sure that UNBOUND problem was introduced *after* the 0.9.4 release. Quick workaround is to edit build/release/CMakeCache.txt and change "BUILD_TESTS" from "ON" to "OFF" then do "make rebuild_cache" and then "make" again.

Maybe try compiling 0.9.4 itself rather than possibly-unstable changes after that

git checkout v0.9.4
make clean (this will wipe out the 'build' subdirectory; make sure you don't have any wallets in there)

I am trying to install the mymonero-simplewallet mnemonic conversion utility from github on my computer, which runs galliumos.
https://github.com/moneroexamples/mymonero-simplewallet

following the instructions

Code:

# download the source code
git clone https://github.com/moneroexamples/mymonero-simplewallet.git
# enter the downloaded sourced code folder
cd mymonero-simplewallet
# create the makefile

make

I got git: command not found, so I installed git.  That was easy enough, apt-get install git did the trick.
I downloaded the source code, and when I entered cmake
I got the same error cmake: command not found

but I am not having good luck with cmake:

[smooth]

I think you have to install the basic compiler tools first. The package is called build-essential.

Code:

apt-get install build-essential

You may or may not need boost. You would need it if compiling monero itself. Make sure you do not get boost 1.54 which has a bug and doesn't work. If your distro wants to give you that version try boost1.55-all-dev instead of boost-all-dev.

To compile any of the examples, monero headers and libs, and other dependencies should be set in /opt as shown in (guide has been already updated for ubuntu 16.04):

 - https://github.com/moneroexamples/compile-monero-09-on-ubuntu-16-04

Having dependencies, monero static libraries and header files located in correct folders should result in straight forward compilation of monero examples. If not, the top level CMakeLists.txt should be edited so that the paths to the monero static libraries and header files match your folders.

I'm getting the following errors trying to "make release" with v0.9.4 (as tagged in git) on Debian 8.

How can I proceed from here?

Is buildability on common platforms not really an objective for Monero?

Try the binaries that did get made.

Unit tests have been wierd. Dunno why release tried to make the tests. Then again I don't know much. But u might have functioning binaries in your bin folder

Apparently tests got broken in a recent commit, see:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/4gakjp/maam_13_monero_ask_anything_monday/d2gvq8o?context=3

Yes, tests got broken in a recent commit. You should use the v0.9.4 tag instead of master. Or you can merge this patch into your build tree: https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero/pull/811

v0.9.4 was tagged on this particular commit:

https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero/commit/e7c8a32a288b9e5d82da09c8e077f7ed0e440fec

"make release" does not build tests. You must have done something else.

The following popped up on my bitmonero daemon, without me communicating with it:

Code:

2016-May-09 14:24:22.005140 [P2P2]Output does not exist! amount = 7000000000, absolute_offset = 200689

It would seem to be coming from the following catch logic: https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero/blob/master/src/cryptonote_core/blockchain.cpp#L216

Any idea what it means?
