Title: installation - missing dependency: slowaes on Mint 16 Post by: smartmoney on April 10, 2014, 07:17:00 PM In trying to install I have a missing dependency - slowaes. If anyone here can help I'd truly appreciate it.
As root here's how I attempted the install: Code: apt-get install python-qt4 python-pip All seemed to go OK, no errors reported. Then I did: Code: pip install https://download.electrum.org/Electrum-1.9.8.tar.gz#md5=e3918fec0254267f08e41a1fb8691382 and got: Code: Downloading/unpacking https://download.electrum.org/Electrum-1.9.8.tar.gz Log file: Code: Downloading/unpacking slowaes (from Electrum==1.9.8) Title: Re: installation - missing dependency: slowaes on Mint 16 Post by: Tachikoma on April 10, 2014, 07:20:37 PM Could you try the following?
Code: apt-get purge python-pip Title: Re: installation - missing dependency: slowaes on Mint 16 Post by: smartmoney on April 10, 2014, 07:25:51 PM Could you try the following?

Could you try just downloading and extracting the source and running ./electrum ?

Could you try just downloading and extracting the source and running ./electrum ? Sure, with a little guidance. From what url? Use wget? Are you talking about a python script or compiling the source for electrum? Title: Re: installation - missing dependency: slowaes on Mint 16 Post by: Tachikoma on April 10, 2014, 07:35:56 PM Ah sorry.
Code: wget https://download.electrum.org/Electrum-1.9.8.tar.gz Just cd in it and try ./electrum. Title: Re: installation - missing dependency: slowaes on Mint 16 Post by: smartmoney on April 10, 2014, 07:43:54 PM ;D Thanks Tachikoma, it seems to run, at least I get the initial dialog to create a new wallet.
Who knows if slowaes is really a dependency on all platforms. It doesn't seem to be, but you may hear more from me when I proceed through the GUI and create the wallet. I suspect slowaes has to do with key generation, but there may be several algorithms to do that, slowaes being only one. As I said, stay tuned as I proceed through the installation. Thanks for your help! Title: Re: installation - missing dependency: slowaes on Mint 16 Post by: Tachikoma on April 10, 2014, 07:49:09 PM No problem. The thing is that AES should be included in the tar.gz package already so pip shouldn't need to download it. Glad you got it working. Let me know if there is anything else.
Title: Re: installation - missing dependency: slowaes on Mint 16 Post by: smartmoney on April 10, 2014, 07:52:37 PM I created the new wallet, entered a pw, selected auto server and it says connecting... in a gray box all alone.
Seems to be locked up, unless that process takes very long to complete. I'll check mem & cpu with ps... Seems to be blocked. No memory increasing, no cpu use. Also, I'm running electrum from the src as normal user not root. Wondering what the differences are between pkg install, like menu item installation, docs, man page etc. --- Decided it was taking far too long so I killed the process. I restarted it but appended an "&" to run in background. Here's what happened: Code: a-man /usr/local/src/Electrum-1.9.8 $ ./electrum & The main gui started, but I'm not confident this is an install I can trust. Title: Re: installation - missing dependency: slowaes on Mint 16 Post by: Tachikoma on April 10, 2014, 09:27:45 PM I'm pretty sure it's fine. What you can do is write down the first few characters of your initial addresses and then start with a different wallet path, use your seed and make sure it's generating the same addresses. If they do; it's all good :)
You can load a different wallet with the -w flag. So for instance ./electrum -w ~/.electrum/wallets/test Title: Re: installation - missing dependency: slowaes on Mint 16 Post by: Abdussamad on April 11, 2014, 12:27:06 AM To install slowaes on a system with pip >= 1.4 you have to use the --pre flag. So as root:
Code: pip install --pre slowaes You only need to do this for slowaes not for ecdsa. Of course you should verify the sigs etc. before installing Electrum: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=518133.msg5981126#msg5981126 Title: Re: installation - missing dependency: slowaes on Mint 16 Post by: dabura667 on April 11, 2014, 12:09:56 PM I created the new wallet, entered a pw, selected auto server and it says connecting... in a gray box all alone.

I use Linux on my crappy old laptop, and first start on a wallet takes me 5 minutes of gray screen before it actually pops up. Signing a 10 input tx is like 10 minutes. Crappy specs can take time... but yeah, so what specs are you at?
