Title: Xubuntu 14.10 issue
Post by: Este Nuno on January 03, 2015, 05:53:26 PM
Just installed electrum via the instructions on electrum.org and when I run electrum and try to create a new wallet I enter a loop where it says "Electrum could not find an existing wallet." every time I press next. And that's all I can do no matter what option I choose. It's completely broken :(.

This doesn't appear to be related to "Technical discussion about Satoshi's Bitcoin client and the Bitcoin network in general. No third-party sites/clients, bug reports that do not require much discussion (use github), or support requests."

So you'll likely get more responses in the correct forum.  ;-)

Oh shit, I have the electrum sub forum opened in another tab. Sorry, didn't realize I posted this here.

Doesn't bother me, but better help is there I bet. :-)

Don't you have Electrum in the system repository?  It's there on Ubuntu from 14.04.  That makes it incredibly easy to download and update.

I don't know but I'm pretty sure the version I got was the latest verison that's not the 2.0 beta. I just followed the instructions on the electrum website to install it. probably apt-get or something, i don't remember if i downloaded a package or just did it that way, but I'm thinking it was apt-get.

Have you tried typing "electrum create" in a terminal window?

Just installed Electrum on xUbuntu 14.10 and had the same issue, the gui fails to create the wallet file.

''electrum create" does however work

Great. Hopefully these bugs get ironed out in the next release.
