Title: [SOLVED] Electrum 3.3.5 on a 32-bit Computer Post by: rbscebu on September 07, 2019, 07:58:50 AM After recently installing Lubuntu 18.04.3 LTS on my 32-bit computer, I have been trying to install Electrum 3.3.8 so far without success. My latest try consisted of
Code: sudo apt-get update Code: python3 ~/Electrum-3.3.5/run_electrum Title: Re: Electrum 3.3.8 on a 32-bit Computer Post by: TryNinja on September 07, 2019, 08:08:01 AM Permission denied sounds like you need to run the command with sudo.
Title: Re: Electrum 3.3.8 on a 32-bit Computer Post by: Rath_ on September 07, 2019, 08:08:46 AM Why don't you try installing it using PIP? Alternatively, you can download the AppImage (https://download.electrum.org/3.3.8/electrum-3.3.8-x86_64.AppImage).
Code: sudo apt-get install python3-setuptools python3-pip It should work fine on a 32-bit system. By the way, you should have a 32-bit version of Python. Edit: Before that, you can change the permissions of that folder. Code: sudo chmod -R 644 /home/richard/.electrum/daemon Title: Re: Electrum 3.3.8 on a 32-bit Computer Post by: igor72 on September 07, 2019, 12:58:09 PM Alternatively, you can download the AppImage (https://download.electrum.org/3.3.8/electrum-3.3.8-x86_64.AppImage). The AppImage is for 64-bit linux only.Title: Re: Electrum 3.3.8 on a 32-bit Computer Post by: jackg on September 07, 2019, 01:17:04 PM Permission denied sounds like you need to run the command with sudo. Yeah it is I had the same issue on my raspberry pi at some point. @op run this Code: sudo chmod 770 /home/richard/.electrum/daemon See what happens... I had the error 6 months ago so don't exactly know how I fixed it but I'm guessing it just can't run daemon because it'll be - rwxrw---- or something. Title: Re: Electrum 3.3.8 on a 32-bit Computer Post by: ABCbits on September 07, 2019, 06:54:17 PM Permission denied sounds like you need to run the command with sudo. You don't need superuser privilege to run electrum. By the way, you should have a 32-bit version of Python. AFAIK Python already available by default when you use Ubuntu (and most linux distro) these days @op run this Code: sudo chmod 770 /home/richard/.electrum/daemon I also suggest running this command as well. You don't need others class able to read, write or execute Electrum folder.

Yes, it was just an access problem. Using Code: sudo python3 ~/Electrum-3.3.5/run_electrum I have also Code: sudo chmod 770 /home/richard/.electrum/daemon Code: sudo python3 ~/Electrum-3.3.5/run_electrum Title: Re: Electrum 3.3.8 on a 32-bit Computer Post by: rbscebu on September 09, 2019, 01:34:34 AM I now want to install an app launch in my start menu. I did this by
Code: cd ~/Electrum-3.3.5 For this app launcher the target file is "/home/richard/.local/share/applications/electrum.desktop" and the command is "electrum %u" The only problem is that when I try to launch Electrum in my start menu nothing happens. Where have I gone wrong? Title: Re: Electrum 3.3.8 on a 32-bit Computer Post by: jackg on September 09, 2019, 09:04:44 AM Thank you all for your guidance. Yes, it was just an access problem.

It's likely the thing stopping it from opening from the start menu. They're both using the same kernal behind so moving something from the cli to gui won't help. Title: Re: Electrum 3.3.5 on a 32-bit Computer Post by: Abdussamad on September 09, 2019, 02:15:45 PM You shouldn't be running electrum as root.
i suggest you post the output of the following command: Code: ls -lha ~/.electrum/ Title: Re: Electrum 3.3.5 on a 32-bit Computer Post by: rbscebu on September 10, 2019, 03:35:28 AM I agree that I should not be running Electrum as root, however at present that is the only way that I can get it to run.
Code: ~$ ls -lha ~/.electrum/ I then opened terminal and cd to ~/.local/share/applications where File Properties says my target file electrum.desktop is. I then tried the following: Code: ~/.local/share/applications$ elecrum.desktop Title: Re: Electrum 3.3.5 on a 32-bit Computer Post by: Abdussamad on September 10, 2019, 01:25:02 PM Ok so the problem is that the files in that folder are owned by root and not by the richard user. That's why when you run electrum as richard it fails to access those files. Please don't apply 770 permissions to ~/.electrum. Instead do this:
Code: sudo chown -R richard:richard /home/richard/.electrum That should make you the owner of the files. Then you can run electrum as an unprivileged user i.e. richard and not root. Title: Re: Electrum 3.3.5 on a 32-bit Computer Post by: rbscebu on September 11, 2019, 06:10:06 AM Thank you Abdussamad. Elecrtum is now working properly for me!
