Having trouble with the upgrade. It partially works but seems to have permission issues, probably due to python.
I installed 1.9.8 with apt-get, but it's not available (unless from a PPA which I don't want to use for this) for Debian 8.2.
I downloaded from electrum site (
https://download.electrum.org/2.5.3/Electrum-2.5.3.tar.gz), but from there I am not clear the "right" way to proceed.
The instructions use pip to install Electrum. It will not install unless installed with a root account, which I did and it runs, I imported wallet, no issues.
UNTIL I went to send a transaction. First one managed to get broadcast, but didn't show up in history. After a restart of Electrum it did, but merchant timed out waiting for it (I guess, that's how it appeared).
Tried to send a second time, similar issue. Here's what the console reported:
(process:4084): GConf-WARNING **: Client failed to connect to the D-BUS daemon:
Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
This is rather frustrating. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
