Title: old electrum wallet (2.5.4) keeps re-appearing after 3.3.8 install. Post by: semperlinux on July 17, 2019, 02:58:59 PM Hardware is Acer desktop running Ubuntu 18.04.2.
My old Electrum wallet would not synchronize so I did a backup, downloaded 3.3.8 and installed. Everything ran fine - no errors. When I re-started the wallet, up came my old 2.5.4 version - obviously, still no sync. Have tried several times - no luck. Should I be deleting something in /.Electrum ? Title: Re: old electrum wallet (2.5.4) keeps re-appearing after 3.3.8 install. Post by: Rath_ on July 17, 2019, 03:11:20 PM Try the following command to remove the old version of electrum
sudo python2 -m pip uninstall electrum It might not work if you installed it using a different method. What command did you use to install the latest version? Title: Re: old electrum wallet (2.5.4) keeps re-appearing after 3.3.8 install. Post by: semperlinux on July 17, 2019, 04:09:41 PM Tried your recommendation - completed with 'Electrum uninstalled'
Start icon disappeared - forgot to check /.electrum directory. Installed 3.3.8 according to Electrum website - copy / paste terminal commands using PIP to install. Install ran perfectly - /.Electrum directories present but no start icon. There is no /Electrum directory entries / structure present (I have this on my 3.3.8 laptop installation. Tried command line start (electrum) - no joy. Now I have no wallet at all. Help !?! Title: Re: old electrum wallet (2.5.4) keeps re-appearing after 3.3.8 install.

Old files have been removed so there shouldn't be any conflicts anymore. Title: Re: old electrum wallet (2.5.4) keeps re-appearing after 3.3.8 install.

Code: ~/.local/bin/electrum if the above command works create a shortcut to that executable file on your desktop. ~ = home directory here.

Abdussamad - your moniker 'legendary' is well earned !! I used the first of your command lines and a 3.3.8 window opened more or less immediately and, after several 'synchronizing' sessions, the content was present and correct. Many thanks for your sterling help. Semperlinux. |
