Hi everyone,
i installed Eletrum under Ubuntu x86

Install python-qt4 and pip:
   sudo apt-get install python-qt4 python-pip
   Install electrum:
   sudo pip install http://electrum.bitcoin.cz/download/Electrum-1.6.0.tar.gz#md5=b884fd0bb870a323083e05166004b8c3
   Run:
   electrum

But it won't start by clicking the Icon, any advice?

that's not the right md5, reload the downloads page; there was a missing file with the package, I fixed it after a few hours.
if you have a recent version of pip, you might need to uninstall before you can install it again: "sudo pip uninstall electrum"
