I tried compiling/installing feather 9.6.2 I got from the release page on github following the guide from this forum, but I get a weird error about wallet.dat. I’m on ubuntu 16.04.

https://forum.feathercoin.com/topic/8556/guide-build-feathercoind-feathercoin-qt-v0-9-6-1-on-ubuntu/2.

I searched for the error message on this forum, google, the bug page on github, but I can’t find anyone else with it. Can someone point me to some help?

The error is:

EXCEPTION: St13runtime_error
CDB : Error 22, can’t open database wallet.dat
feathercoin in Runaway exception

Thanks!

Update …

So copying over the db files as @gonnaforget suggested unfortunately didn’t help. I did get it to work eventually by installing the deb package from this guide

https://forum.feathercoin.com/topic/8327/guide-feathercoin-wallet-ppa-and-binaries-on-ubuntu-and-debian-linux/21

But that didn’t work for me until I changed the “https” to “http” in the opensuse.list file entry. Maybe a typo there?

Thanks for your help!

If I run with the --disablewallet flag, I do get a GUI, but it doesn’t look like the screenshots I’ve seen in the guides. It does seem like it’s trying to sync though. I attached some pictures.

Run with
feathercoin-qt --disablewallet

Thanks for your quick answers!

@wrapper I tried installing in a fresh directory (feathercoin 0.9.6.2 from the github release page) following the instructions in the documentation under /doc, but got the same error. .feathercoin/database is empty - no wallet file is there. I’m just running feathercoin-qt from the terminal with no options. Could that be the problem?

@gonnaforget I’m downloading that now and will try this evening.

@Wellenreiter There’s no wallet.dat in .feathercoin or .feathercoin/database. I have rwx permission on .feathercoin and .feathercoin/database.

Thanks!

No, it was a strange error - unfortunately I didn’t write it down. Thanks!
