V0.6.2RC2 builds available for testing

General
22

Considered it, but don’t see the point in testing the Linux version without the minting option. Perhaps you can motivate me?

23

The builds I have provided come with minting enabled, it’s not disabled.

Raspbian build:

Just tried this process on my Ubuntu 16.04. I had the following error after entering the last bit:

The following NEW packages will be installed
peercoin-qt
0 to upgrade, 1 to newly install, 0 to remove and 29 not to upgrade.
Need to get 3,694 B of archives.
After this operation, 14.3 kB of additional disk space will be used.
Err:1 https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/peerchemist/xUbuntu_16.04 peercoin-qt 0.6.2-1
Protocol “http” not supported or disabled in libcurl

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

Strange as it shows https in the link. Any ideas what this might be about?

26

I am not sure, it works fine on all of my boxes.

Thanks, installing: apt-transport-https indeed solved the issue.

Edit: Or just using http of course

Still puzzled: got the repository “peercoin-qt_0.6.2-1_amd64.deb”

But inspecting the path learns that there are only docs, no client in this package:

dpkg --contents peercoin-qt_0.6.2-1_amd64.deb

drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2018-02-01 13:28 ./
drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2018-02-01 13:27 ./usr/

drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2018-02-01 13:27 ./usr/share/doc/peercoin-qt/
-rw-r–r-- root/root 6752 2018-02-01 13:17 ./usr/share/doc/peercoin-qt/copyright
-rw-r–r-- root/root 238 2018-02-01 13:17 ./usr/share/doc/peercoin-qt/changelog.Debian.gz

What am I missing? Is there perhaps another package I should get?

30

Yeah it’s my bad from recent experimentation, I’ll fix it soon.

Hi @peerchemist,

I haven’t been able to test the new peercoin version for raspbian stretch. Had been very busy in the last weeks. But as I would like to test it now, I’d like to ask you whether you can provide me a link to the latest peercoin raspbian build. The old one doesn’t work anymore.

thanks

thanks. did you try to install the package on a pi on your own? when I download it and try to intsall it by use of sudo dpkg or also by use of sudo apt-get install the archive cannot be opened/executed. Is the package damaged? can you provide me a checksum of the package to crosscheck if the download was ok?

34

for me it worked by double clicking on the icon
maybe you have to do chmod +x first?

35

My nodes are running headless in CLI mode. So I executed it by used of sude dpkg and also by use of sudo apt-get install. I also tried chmd +x, but it doesn’t change anything.

36

this is the “-qt” client with graphical user interface

37

But the .deb file is a setup package. So IMHO that shouldn’t matter or am I wrong? I remember executing the peercoin-qt client from CLI via SSH was possible. It opened as a separate application/window outside the SSH client. Or am I mixing something up now? Need to give it a try on my other node.

38

Then use the daemon package: https://github.com/peercoin/peercoin/releases
