Basically, I know the password to decrypt it, but there is no such options in the gui aka the qt to do it so I did this
Please see the following for my ppcoin.confg
I am using fedora 20 xfce
[code]# ppcoin.conf configuration file. Lines beginning with # are comments.
Network-related settings:
Run on the test network instead of the real bitcoin network.
And after I restart my computer I got this
[mr-fool@localhost ~]$ cd /home/mr-fool/Downloads/ppcoin-0.3.0-linux/bin/64/
[mr-fool@localhost 64]$ ./ppcoind walletpassphrase secretpasswordthatiamnottelling 9999999 true
error: couldn’t connect to server
or
[mr-fool@localhost 64]$ ./ppcoin-qt walletpassphrase nottelling 9999999 true
still I got
Info: Minting suspended due to a lock wallet
JSON-RPC options (for controlling a running ppcoind process)
listen=1
upnp=1
#Server mode allows Qt to accept JSON-RPC commands
server=1
You must set rpcuser and rpcpassword to secure the JSON-RPC api
rpcuser=???
rpcpassword=???
#The reserve balance field is the minimum amount of coins you want to have available and NOT put up as stake. #The reason for this is that if you are generating proof of stake you cannot spend those coins for 520 blocks.
#reservebalance=10000
Can’t really help you with the Linux client. In the Windows client it sometimes takes a while before the ‘minting suspended due to a locked wallet’ goes away. There are some command line parameters which would tell you whether the wallet is unlocked or not. Try -getinfo. This provides a set of data. The last one is something about the wallet status related to whether it is unlocked or locked. Have to do this on top of my head as I’m just on my tablet at the moment.
There is also a thread about Fuzzy’s new wallet where I posted the command to lock and unlock in the debug window. They are the same as the command line.
are you positive its not just telling you minting is locked but the actual wallet is unlocked ?

You need to run the qt wallet then run the ppcoind daemon.
Before you attempted to reboot your computer, did you issue a ./ppcoind stop ?
If not, when you rebooted the computer, it might have been in the middle of writing something to disk and now it has to re-verify the last XXX number of blocks.
Even when you start ppcoind, let it sit for a full 10 minutes before you start sending commands to it. It has to verify that the blockchain is indeed valid before it starts connecting to other peers to accept new blocks.
Finally, even then it has to take time to try and connect to old peers, find new peers, etc.
It is doing a LOT of things when ppcoind starts up after being offline for a bit.
So if a full 10 minutes haven’t passed, and you can’t do a ppcoind getinfo, then don’t bother trying to unlock the wallet and begin minting. You’ll either get a big long pause, or hang, or a “cannot connect to server”
In this day and age of instant gratification asking someone to wait 10 minutes before trying to click or type is often asking a lot, but if you follow that rule of thumb, many times that is all you needed to do. Be patient and wait.
By the way, debug.log is your friend. When wondering what is going on in Linux, simply do:
$ tail -f debug.log
…and watch and read every thing that ppcoind is doing. That is how I learned a huge majority of what I know.
