Bitshares Not Connected

[xeroc]

To me it seems the GUI (more precisely, the web_wallet) was not compiled properly

It was confirmed by 'nathanhourt' at issue #67 to be related to web_wallet component.
https://github.com/BitShares/qt_wallet/issues/67

The bug was redirected to web_wallet repository as issue #420
https://github.com/BitShares/web_wallet/issues/420

Coder 'valzav' closed it as difficult to replicate. I have just replicated the bug in three simple steps:
- installed fresh Ubuntu 14.10 into VirtualBox
- added the ppa and installed bitshares
- run Bitshares
After unlocking the wallet issue 'JSON parsing errors' and issue 'Not connected' showed themselves right away.

I've tried again following the instructions on the wiki but I still have the same errors 

Shall I look into some log files?

you have also run "lineman" when updating?

for me this seems to be an inconsistency between the GUI and the CORE ... CORE seems to be all fine ..

are you on ubuntu 14.10? There might be something there that we aren't seeing on 14.04.

nevermind, I see that you are on 14.04 too, I'm kind of stumped. I'll try to break my version, but so far it's been ok

Yes, I'm compiling on my own. Version 0.4.24. But I also tried the one from the ppa posted in the forum with the same outcome.
I'm compiling on Xubuntu 14.04 amd64.

In fact I can see the transactions I'm doing but I can't see market status (error is "Cannot get market status. Probably no orders have been placed.") or place any order (error is "invalid price (20009)").

I have tried from the windows client and I can do everything no problem... But I'd prefer to use my linux machine for this purpose.

Those messages shouldn't appear ..
To me it seems you did compile the CORE correctly but something went wrong (re)compiling the GUI

Here's a tutorial to compile the GUI:
http://wiki.bitshares.org/index.php/Developer/Build#Configuration_and_Compilation_.28GUI.29

Please double check for any errors during compilation

you may also try "make forcebuildweb" instead of "make buildweb"

Good luck

I'm running bitshares on Ubuntu 14.04, compiled from source and I keep getting a "not connected" message in the bottom right corner.

It's a display bug

}

Looks perfectly fine to me

I also get many errors in the message box saying: JSON Parse error: Property name must be a string literal

I tried to follow the troubleshooting but no success.

How could I fix this?

Thanks

Are you compiling on your own? What OS? did you try the most recent version 0.4.24?

Hi,
