90% of my posts are on the technical support forum where I help others solve their problems.  Apparently tipping is overated  Cry (notice amount in address), but I keep doing it anyway. Wink


examples:
Just install Tor with the default settings and then in bitcoin-qt go to settings, options, network and change the port to 9150. (make sure "Connect through SOCKS proxy" is selected and that the SOCKS version is 5)

P.S.  I not sure if Tor is set to configure controlport automatically by default or not, but if the above doesn't work you can try going to the advanced tab in Tor and deselecting it.
Add the Bitcoin Ubuntu PPA repository in your Ubuntu
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
Update package lists
Code:
sudo apt-get update
Install bitcoin-qt
Code:
sudo apt-get install bitcoin-qt

Just copy and past the code into terminal and you should have the latest version of bitcoin-qt.

If you prefer not to use a PPA you can download the latest linux client from here:http://bitcoin.org/en/download.  Just decompress the .tgz file and you've got the latest version of bitcoin-qt.

Hope the OP comes back to the thread to see this. I doubt he found the solution on his own.
P.S.  You can furthur validate my story by checking my post history.
P.P.S.  Address in sig.
