Namecoin-Qt not working on Linux

[simonadebisi]

Hi everyone,

I followed the official tutorial to setup namecoin on my Ubuntu 14.04 box but namecoin command exits immediately after begin running. I can see splash screen and it it disappears immediately.

Here is the some technical information about the case:

Code: Select all

~/.namecoin
simon@faraday$  time namecoin
"sni-qt/1724" WARN  17:12:53.546 void StatusNotifierItemFactory::connectToSnw() Invalid interface to SNW_SERVICE 

real    0m0.450s
user    0m0.358s
sys     0m0.068s
~/.namecoin
simon@faraday$ 

I ran the command with strace, here are the last lines of the command:

Code: Select all

namecoind is running at the background; I checked it with ps. It seems fine, I couldn't any clue about a possible problem. By the way, I think that Qt is not responsible for that glitch.

Any ideas about that problem? I googled but found nothing about that issue.

Thanks for advance.

You cannot run the daemon and the gui wallet at the same time. Shut down the daemon with "namecoind stop", wait until it has exited, then start the gui.
