Same here.

I just tried starting qt from the terminal, but the line you gave didn't work. I normally start qt from the execute icon in the download folder (which is where I extracted it to). To be honest I'm a linux noob as well, haha!

I was trying to find out how to do the rescan thing on a linux system, but all I could find was directions for Windows and Mac. Any ideas?

Yep, qt is definitely synced. The client is 0.7.2

So I thought I had a pretty good grasp on this whole bitcoin thing. But as it turns out, I guess I don't. I made a couple of "offline" wallets with bitcoin-qt on Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS using usb drives as a virtual OS. So I made 2 wallets, populated 10 received addresses for each wallet, then saved out the wallet.dat files to another usb drive. So I've been using the addresses to get some free coins from the free bitcoin sites. After a couple of weeks I decided to sync these wallets just to see if things were going as I thought they should. Once I load them, and they are synced, neither of the wallets show any transactions. They both have the addresses I had originally made, so it doesn't seem like the wallet.dat files are bad, or that I messed up backing them up. Perhaps I did and just don't know. Anyway, so I looked up the addresses on blockchain.info and found that transactions had been made with the addresses used.

Here are 2 of the addresses if you'd like to check it out yourselves. Any help would be appreciated. Let me know if anymore info is needed. Thanks!

Hahaha, that's exactly what I was talking about. You hate ridiculous posts about nothing. The only reason I started it was to be able to satisfy the restrictions. But thanks for the warm welcome all the same. It's nice to see that the internet is still full of people poised and ready with negativity to anything they feel even slightly irritates them.

I sort of understand the posting restrictions, but it seems somewhat ridiculous at the same time. I'm not the type of person that will just post something until I've done some pretty extensive research first. I will spend a lot of time reading other posts and gathering the information I need without ever posting anything. Honestly, I rarely even register with forums. But this one is a bit different because the community aspect can be a real advantage when using bitcoin. I must have spent at least 5 hours or more on this forum before even creating an account. And then I constantly forget to log in so my time will be logged.

I don't know, it just seems like I'm wasting my time, and other peoples, writing and reading posts simply to have access to other areas.
