"Bus error" running dash-qt [Resolved]

[matthew1820]

I had to re-boot my machine after a power failure. When I try to re-start my wallet the splash screen comes up, it spends some time "loading block index," then "verifying blocks," then the splash disappears but the wallet never shows up. In fact, dash-qt disappears from the system monitor process list at that point. Running it in the terminal, I get the same behavior -- splash screen, etc... -- and then the program exits with "Bus error" as the only output...

$ ./dash-qt
Bus error
$

Mint 17.1 Mate edition. Wallet is Dash Core v0.11.2.22-something-or-other-Beta...

Help fixing this, please?

try some of this (one by one, these are not steps but attempts i.e. close wallet before trying next)
1) get 0.11.2.23 and run it
2) run with -reindex
3) remove mncahe.dat and peers.dat and run again
4) rename wallet.dat to wallet.dat.bkp and run again (if you succeed here then your wallet is corrupted and if you have no backup that's a long story)

Hi matthew1820 ,
With this condition "after a power failure" and "Bus error" , I assume that your file system may be corrupted in some block(s) and your other applications may also return the same error.
Please try run "fsck" for check your file system and make sure that your file system are healthy . Then follow above post from UdjinM6 as well.

2) run with -reindex

This was all it took. I'll deal with the update when I get back to my machine later.

Created the forcefsck file and re-booted. I didn't see any errors being flagged or corrected during the fsck, but at least now we're sure. :wink:

Thank you very much, both of you. I appreciate the swift help.
