Not connecting on Kubuntu 14.04

[darkstrike420]

It just stays at 0 connections. I tried running it through a SOCKS Proxy but its the same.

This is what Terminal gives me:
Bus::open: Can not get ibus-daemon's address.
IBusInputContext::createInputContext: no connection to ibus-daemon

The GUI starts up fine.

Is your ibus daemon installed and running? If not try

$ sudo apt-get install ibus
$ ibus-daemon -d

@darkstrike420 Tested latest version v0.9.11.6 on Kubuntu 14.04 - connects immediatly and downloads blockchain. The errormessage re. ibus seems not related.

Please try running latest wallet --> https://github.com/darkcoinproject/darkcoin-binaries/raw/master/darkcoin-0.9.11.6-linux.tar.gz and see if this resolves your issue.

@DeathRay1977 I did not have it. Just installed it and had to reboot. Thanks.

@schinzelh I just downloaded the latest wallet (RC3). The same issue persists.

I had previously configured the Wallet to run through SOCKS5 and I cannot unset this option. I could not do it before downloading the update either.

Thanks for assistance.

[schinzelh]

What do you mean with "cannot unset this option" - is the checkbox grayed out?

[darkstrike420]

Its not grayed out. I uncheck it, hit apply then it goes back to checked by itself. File -> Exit. Then i start Darkcoin wallet and the checkbox is still checked.

[schinzelh]

Hmm, i would suggest to close qt, save your wallet.dat, wipe .darkcoin directory and restart qt. This socks5 setting has to be stored somewhere^^

[darkstrike420]

I did rm -rf .darkcoin as root. I started darkcoin-qt and the socks 5 setting is still checked.

This ".darkcoin" folder was located in my $username folder. Is there any other place it could be located at?

[schinzelh]

default is $HOME/.darkcoin - so you should be safe wenn running

rm -Rf $HOME/.darkcoin

as normal user.

BTW: I am getting a popup when i change the SOCKS settings (on Windows)

[schinzelh]

Can you have a look if there is a

$HOME/.config

folder? It seems Qt is storing the settings there by default

"On Unix systems, if the file format is NativeFormat, the following files are used by default:
$HOME/.config/MySoft/Star Runner.conf (Qt for Embedded Linux: $HOME/Settings/MySoft/Star Runner.conf)
$HOME/.config/MySoft.conf (Qt for Embedded Linux: $HOME/Settings/MySoft.conf)
/etc/xdg/MySoft/Star Runner.conf
/etc/xdg/MySoft.conf"

@darkstrike420

Hi, i had a look at my Kubuntu system, and indeed there is a folder

$HOME/.config/DarkCoin

where you can find the file DarkCoin-Qt.conf

The SOCKS settings is stored there:

[General]
bImportFinished=true
nTransactionFee=0
fUseUPnP=true
fUseProxy=true
addrProxy=127.0.0.1:9050
nSocksVersion=5
fMinimizeToTray=false
fMinimizeOnClose=false
language=
nDisplayUnit=0
bDisplayAddresses=false
fCoinControlFeatures=false
nWindowPos=@point(535 265)
nWindowSize=@SiZe(876 550)

Stop Qt, delete that file, start Qt again and see if this resolves your issue.

[darkstrike420]

I did that. It connected and is now downloading the blockchain.

I can now enable/disable SOCKS5 too. No connections were made when I used SOCKS5. I use Tor. Without it, it works.

[schinzelh]

Cool, i guess the file had the wrong permissions and was not writeable by Qt.

For the Tor/SOCKS5 setup: its highly probable that this is setup is not working yet, as the dnsseeder has no valid *.onion address yet. I will have a look at this, and see if i can add a tor/onion seeder.

Keep you posted.

[darkstrike420]

The SOCKS5 setup works fine on Microsoft Windows. It doesnt on Kubuntu 14.04 however.
