If not it might be a glitch you need to uninstall the Electrum and reinstall it again just like what they did from here https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/4721

It's a well-known issue that Ubuntu 18.04 is a buggy OS of Linux when installing Electrum.

This worked after a restart.  I also made a shortcut on the desktop.  The install didn't include an icon, which really bugged me.  I had to copy electrum.png from windows.

This is the code I used in the electrum.desktop shortcut I created:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
[Desktop Entry]
Version=3.3.8
Type=Application
Terminal=False
Exec=/home/willy2streams/.local/bin/electrum
Name=Electrum
Comment=Electrum
Icon=/home/willy2streams/.electrum/electrum.png

Thank you all for your help.
