Because I had this running smoothly before, the GUI was operable, the blockchain was ~80% completion.

<p>Yes, the gui is <code>bitcoin-qt</code> - just copy it back in from the download if it is missing. Also, if you used the install command, have a look if it is in <code>/usr/local/bin</code> or similar, it should just run from the command line.</p>

<p>Have you followed the build instructions?</p>

<p>Make sure that you have installed all the related GUI dependences or else you will not have bitcoin-qt on your machine.</p>

<p>Also, bitcoin-cli is a command line tool to speak with your bitcoin node (bitcoind). You need to pass a command. The data-dir flag is just specifies a data directory. Try passing a command like <code>getblockchaininfo</code></p>

It seems like you simply haven't installed bitcoin-qt, if you install that then you can run it :)

I'm unsure exactly how the power outage and the datadir command at the end relate to the question though

Yes, the gui is `bitcoin-qt` - just copy it back in from the download if it is missing. Also, if you used the install command, have a look if it is in `/usr/local/bin` or similar, it should just run from the command line.
