This is the command I use to start electrum on tails:
Code:
./electrum -s 56ckl5obj37gypcu.onion:50001:t -p socks5:localhost:9050 -w /media/MyFD/electrum.dat

I am using a seperate FD to store my data file and it worked at first but now Electrum will not connect as I get this error:

Code:
Bus::open: Can not get ibus-daemon's address. 
IBusInputContext::createInputContext: no connection to ibus-daemon

Then, when I try to open up network settings the terminal gives me this:

Code:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/amnesia/Persistent/Electrum/gui/qt/main_window.py", line 2156, in run_network_dialog
    NetworkDialog(self.wallet.network, self.config, self).do_exec()
  File "/home/amnesia/Persistent/Electrum/gui/qt/network_dialog.py", line 169, in __init__
    self.proxy_mode.setCurrentIndex(self.proxy_mode.findText(str(proxy_config.get("mode").upper())))
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'get'

Is it something with the hidden service I am using or with connecting to the right socks proxy? I am really confused at why this isn't working :/

Might have fixed it. Not 100% sure yet. What I did was start it with the command
Code:
./electrum -w /media/2C98-BB44/electrum.dat
when I started it with that command I was able to open network settings and then I inputed the following info:

Server: 56ckl5obj37gypcu.onion
Port: 50001
Protocol: TCP
Proxy: Socks5
IP: localhost
Port: 9050

At first it didn't work then I kept trying and it eventually worked. Not sure why or how though.
