I've also tried the 0.4.0 preview for Linux (the one you got people to download through the sia client in the slack).

Issues:

When I get onto the Wallet tab, I get a "error 404 Not Found 404 - Refer to api.md" message
If I try to click the "create address" button, I get a "error 400 Bad Request unrecognised method when calling /wallet/address" message
Wallet status says "locked". If I try to click on the lock icon to unlock it, it prompts me for a password. Of course anything I enter is a "Wrong password" - I never set one in the first place.

hmm, I wonder why that is. That's not what happens for me. It means that the UI is making requests which aren't available on the API. But it also means that you're talking to the right port and everything...

The very first time you started the wallet, it gave you a password. If you just closed the window without reading it, then you'll have to delete your wallet and start over . The wallet is in Sia/app/dependencies/Sia/wallet/wallet.json

We should probably have the encryption process be more transparent, so that people don't miss this step. You aren't the only one who closed the window without writing down the password. For the time being, you don't actually set a password, it's just given to you. Most people do not pick secure passwords and a lot of Bitcoins have been stolen that way. As the project matures, we'll provide more options for picking passwords.

Hey, that's not what's happening with me.

I'm running a vanilla 14.04 Ubuntu on a VM. I'm launching a freshly unzipped Sia-GUI on a freshly rebooted instance. When I launch the app, I get a bunch of error messages. http://i.imgur.com/83Vaob4.png
I don't see anything about a password.

Running the app a second time just gives me a green thumbs up box for the app being up to date and the app starts syncing as normal. But still with the locked status and the error messages from my previous post.

That might be because I was using the 0.3.3 wallet before. Maybe something is getting mixed up with the old version wallet files that are hidden somewhere on the hard drive. Do you know where I should look? Maybe I can get rid of those and start fresh for real. But perhaps that's not even the problem. The 0.3.3 wallet files looked self contained? That's how I've been backing up my wallet... Just zipping up the ole app folder.

The strange thing is that I'm getting the same sort of behaviour on both my native OS X environment and the Ubuntu VM.

The OS X version for 0.4.0 gives me similar errors and the same locked by start thing without ever presenting me any password creation prompt.

I've also noticed there is no more option to paste the ASCII code for a file? There is no more Files tab?
