That's the exact problem I had on my other rig when i tried to install the wallet, fortunately the one holding my Mint is fine on a different pc.

I just cannot get the wallet to work at all, I left it in that state for several days, downloaded the chain and used the bootstrap and it just won't have it. Guess I'm only using Mint on one rig lol.

It's weird, as the rig that hold my mint -as of the last few months- gets turned on only every month or so (for reasons far too silly to go into) yet it updates within an hour or so, but on the other rig when I use a chain thats only a few days behind it leave it running for days it remains locked up.

Im sure the error is with the user, but I just cannot figure it out.

Question: Could I copy the chain files from the wallet that works when it is up to date into the other wallet to see what happens, would that work? Then that way I could eliminate the chain updating as the issue and try and identify where I have fluffed it maybe
