I have followed the intructions here to install bitcoin-qt on Ubuntu 12.04:
http://www.distrogeeks.com/install-bitcoin-qt-ubuntu/
which are:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install bitcoin-qt
Everything seemed to go normally, but from the terminal, typing bitcoin-qt, it attempted to initailize, but said wallet corrupted.
It recommended to delete everything from the installed directory but wallet.dat.
On performing a whereis on bitcoin-qt, I got this:
bitcoin-qt: /usr/bin/bitcoin-qt /usr/bin/X11/bitcoin-qt
Seems redundant if nothing else, and I'm clearly not going to delete my X11 directory, a lot of stuff is in there.
Anyone have any ideas how to proceed? Thanks in advance!
