Creating a Feathercoin wallet in Linux Ubuntu
-
Hi,
I select Feathercoin , Linux, it opens a tab, opensuse, and ubuntu 16.04 there are no recommended wallets. There are selections for unstable versions.
Can someone recommend a wallet solution please? -
Hey,
On linux you will have to build the wallet (well I do it this way).
I did it by following the Guide made by @AcidD , and it goes pretty well.
-
Ubuntu Lubuntu has a version, e.g. Lubuntu 16.04, just use that?
-
@work2earn you can use the installation package here: https://software.opensuse.org/package/feathercoin
if you select Ubuntu 16.04 as OS, you will have to select the option ‘show unstable packages’ too.’
The ‘unstable packages’ here doesn’t mean, that the wallet is not stable. It simply means, that it is not an official package contained in the Ubuntu distribution.
The package provides wallet version 0.9.6.1, which is the current production release.
The installation procedure is described here: https://forum.feathercoin.com/topic/8327/guide-feathercoin-wallet-ppa-and-binaries-on-ubuntu-and-debian-linux
@looarn :
No you don’t have to build yourself, you can use the PPA described above ;)

@looarn Hi, I used this option by AcidD to create my wallet, its downloading now, will take over 2 days (is that normal?)
I have one problem with the wallet, My Top menu is not there,
"where it should say
wallet settings Advanced Plugins Help
I have the tabs below , ie
Overview.
IS yours the same? or have I done something wrong?
Or will it appear after the wallet syncronises?
thank you in advance. -
@looarn Hi I found where that menu is, - when select feathercoin wallet, the top menu appears at the top left of monitor replacing ubuntu commands.

Hey,
Kind of the usual on ubuntu right ?
Otherwise please fill an issue on the GitHub. :)
https://github.com/FeatherCoin/Feathercoin/issuesFor the sync of the blockchain depending on your configuration it can take a while, so normal to me.
@Wellenreiter Yes “have to” was a bit to much., I should use “can”. ;)
