I created the new wallet, entered a pw, selected auto server and it says connecting... in a gray box all alone.

Seems to be locked up, unless that process takes very long to complete. I'll check mem & cpu with ps...

Seems to be blocked. No memory increasing, no cpu use.

Also, I'm running electrum from the src as normal user not root.

Wondering what the differences are between pkg install, like menu item installation, docs, man page etc.

Decided it was taking far too long so I killed the process.

I restarted it but appended an "&" to run in background. Here's what happened:

Code:

a-man /usr/local/src/Electrum-1.9.8 $ ./electrum &
[1] 23391
a-man /usr/local/src/Electrum-1.9.8 $ "sni-qt/23391" WARN 15:06:48.753 void StatusNotifierItemFactory::connectToSnw() Invalid interface to SNW_SERVICE

**8 addresses were printed, first 5 were the same as listed in the gui plus 3 more**

The main gui started, but I'm not confident this is an install I can trust.

What are your specs? I use Linux on my crappy old laptop, and first start on a wallet takes me 5 minutes of gray screen before it actually pops up. Signing a 10 input tx is like 10 minutes.

Crappy specs can take time... but yeah, so what specs are you at?
