Title: Electrum icon problem - diagnosed
Post by: tl121 on December 24, 2014, 10:00:03 PM
I installed Electrum 2.0 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS in a directory in my home path. When I do the following I get an error message:

$cd /home/foo/Desktop
$/home/foo/electrum/electrum
Error: Could not import icons_rc.py, please generate it with: 'pyrcc4 icons.qrc -o gui/qt/icons_rc.py'

However, when I do the following electrum starts up correctly:

$cd /home/foo/electrum
$/home/foo/electrum/electrum

A quick workaround is to always CD to the installation directory before running electrum, perhaps using a simple script.
