Hi, I downloaded the file from bitshares/download and am thrilled to see such a file for ubuntu. But after I extracted it I don*t know how to start it.
It*s like nothing happens after I clicked on it and it asked me to execute it or execute it in the terminal. thx!!!
-
I am downloading now the dependencies :
sudo apt-get install cmake git libreadline-dev uuid-dev g++ libdb++-dev \
libdb-dev zip libssl-dev openssl build-essential python-dev autotools-dev \
libicu-dev libbz2-dev libboost-dev libboost-all-dev zlib1g-dev
I am almost sure it helps.

You can also try:
$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:showard314/bitshares
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install bitshares
that will install all the needed dependencies, add the icon to your dash menu, and allow you to do either from the command line:
$ BitShares
$ bitshares_client
-
Thanks
-
+5% sure helps. i install mandrake (my linux is cero) and have it stopped now go to try install again
-
I now decided to use your ppa maqifrnswa, because I wat to avoid a headache :D
Good luck infovortice2013!
-
Works, tears of happiness and relieve.
-
maqifrnswa, how long will it say "Starting" approx.? I have lowest atom and ram :)
-
It say*s "critical error" now. I think because I didn*t shut it down properly.
-
sudo apt-get remove BitShares and then re-instaling doesn*t help. It still says Critical Error, I think I have to delete more.

it you have low ram and atom, try using the cli first (not the GUI) - at least until blocks sync.
1st, delete ~/.BitShares/chain
then:
$ bitshares_client
and watch/let it sync
once it's ready, (will say "in sync with network" or something like that), you can close it (tpying "exit") then try opening the GUI
-
It*s working. Had something to do with ram and power. But I only get 60 blocks per second. Maybe because the home folder is encrypted. Do you have any tips to make it faster? Thx

Yes, it's a little memory and CPU intensive.
once the devs fix some of the recent bugs, there is a new config option in ~/.BitShares/config.json
"track_statistics": true
change it to
"track_statistics": false
and it should be faster. Again, that particular feature is temporarily broken. Don't know when it will be back.
-
version i have instaled is open suse, i click on bitshares package but nothing happen, later goto console and try the lines up in post but same not run XD
is not an ejecutable version of BTS for linux ? like windows install.
-
The problem is that when I quit BitShares GUI it will not quit and I have to restart or kill it. Afterwards it won*t start again (critical error). Same with bitshares_client.
To delete the blockchain folder alone does not fix the problem, so I have to delete everything but the wallet folder to make it work again. Running the client and exitiing and then start the GUI does not work because the GUI will be stuck at the last synced block.
-
I have seen an error message regarding a broken config.json after shutting down the GUI and trying to start it again. Never happened with the CLI wallet.
Try deleting config.json if the client doesn't start.
@infovortice: precompiled BitShares packages for openSUSE, Fedora + CentOS available here: http://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home%3Ap_conrad%3Abts&package=BitShares
-
Oh thanks a lot!
-
Deleting the config.json works but it is stuck at the block where it was when I stoped the program. Deleting the chain folder results in that the cli doesn*t start anymore and BitShares doesn*t allow connecting. I have no idea how I can get synced. I have to go to a cafe for wifi. I was at block 400000 and tomorrow I will try again. That there is no other way then deleting the chain folder in order to start downloading blocks again is a nioghtmare. I know there is a lot of work in making such a program but spending several hours in the cafe and then have to do it again .. depressing
-
Is there a reason there isn't a linux package available for download on the main page?
-
I don*t know why markt.
I have a problem with building. I tried the ppa but the blocks will start from zero after the program crashes while downloading blocks.
Now I built it but get this error:

Edit: Has something to do with qt5.. Will try to install it or something. Please try to help anyway, thank you
Edit2: Maybe has something to do with gcc, have version 4.9. Will try to downgrade to 4.8. How?
Edit3: Ok, I think something is missing in the http://wiki.bitshares.org/index.php/Developer/Build, am trying with the BUILD_UBUNTU method
Big success! Works now! megahappy
