Mist finds no peers

[adamnovak]

I've installed Mist with go get -u github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/mist on Ubuntu 14.04. I can start it up just fine, but it can't find any peers.

My log looks like this:

anovak@hypernova:~/workspace/go/src/github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/mist$ mist -seed=true -upnp -loglevel=5

It doesn't say where it gets the 207.12.89.10 peer from (maybe it's the default one in the ctrl+p box?), but going in with Wireshark that's the only one it manages to connect to. And after connecting it gets an RST from the remote host--it must not like something about my handshake.

Am I running the wrong protocol version or something? How can I find peers that are up to date with the current trunk to test against?

You are on a very old version of ethereum (and Mist) and it's very likely there aren't any peers with the same protocol number. Please update to 0.7.9> (develop) and reopen if the issue persist :)
