Can anyone help with my electrum wallet not loading??? Been a while now. I also am not used to linux or not advanced user.

I typed electrum and got the following messege. Basically there is a key error???

~$ electrum

this is a recent issue; a bugfix release will be done today.

edit: sorry, it's not the issue I thought it was. you should probably upgrade Elctrum.

But linux wud tell me when upgrade is available no? How do i safely install upgrade? Sorry I am no techy. Thanks.

which version are you running?

[TheSmackDown]

ubuntu 14.04 i think

[twister]

If he's using the version which is in Ubuntu repositories then I think he's on 1.9.8 and I have that version too in one of my linux machines and I have no problems loading it up.

BTW thomas, I replied on github, sorry I was not able to respond earlier.

He meant Electrum version and not Ubuntu version most likely .

[TheSmackDown]

electrum 1.9.7-1

[OmegaStarScream]

electrum 1.9.7-1

Then it's normal probably and that's the reason . Make sure you have the seed of electrum so you recover your wallet and do this on the terminal

Install dependencies:

sudo apt-get install python-qt4 python-pip
Install Electrum:

sudo pip install https://download.electrum.org/2.5.2/Electrum-2.5.2.tar.gz

Thanks!!! Worked! No need to restore wallet, all syncronised and back to normal workings. Phew!
I do notice it can be slow to sync and u need shut down and re-open. But all good!!!
