I would try to update to a version that's not an year old

How do I fix this? Linux noob here and I can't figure out how to install electrum. Ubuntu 12.04 on a flash drive.

It is there:

Check in /etc/apt/sources.list if the universe repo is enabled.
See if this helps:
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get install python-qt4
Thanks! All set now. Might want to add this info to the electrum download page to help ubuntu noobs.
I am scared to death to use the satoshi client on windows with no deterministic wallet or easy paper backup because I have lost so many coins before.
Can I create my own wallet seed? When it asks to restore, can I enter 12 words of my choosing? What list of words does it use? I ask because certain words electrum chooses are hard for me to memorize.
How can I do this without connecting to the internet? Is it reasonably safe to boot off a flash drive, connect to the internet to install install python and electrum, make a new wallet, write down the seed and an address, and then shut down and boot back into windoze?

Where did you find that old version if you just installed it?
I was going to tell him to update already when saw the 1.6.0
I think it is from Nightly Builds

Thomas - has anyone drawn your attention to the fact that Electrum is re-using change addresses in the latest release. It keeps creating new ones but seems to re-use the same one (until restarted I think). Hence several change addresses have no transactions, and several have more than one.
it has nothing to do with restarting the client.
the new thing is that it waits until a change address has a few confirmations before creating the next one.
this is in order to avoid gaps that could be caused by reorgs

Hi ThomasV,
First, thank much for your great effort.
How hard (or how much money) would it take to accomplish this: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/170
(task described more here)
I looked at merchant.py - but i don't think it helps much to do what i want.
I need single, standalone, self-contained function (with all the glorious math included) to generate bitcoin addresses from master public key.

My questions were pretty clear!
I did provided you link to multibit showing you that it can run from an USB drive.
https://multibit.org/help_runFromUSBDrive.html
My question were:
Is it possible run electrum via USB drive similar to multibit? Yes or no?
Reasons:
- So my system drive wouldn't be used
- Benefit in having electrum all file store locally (USB drive)

Instructions for a portable Electrum on Windows:
- Download the 'Standalone Executable' for Windows -> http://electrum.org/download.html
- Create a shortcut and go to the properties, add a space and -w portable.dat, after the default in the destination field
- Use the shortcut to run Electrum portable, you'll need to carry the shortcut, the portable.dat and the Standalone exe files in the same directory in your USB drive
Thanks and all is running from USB without fail! Will get back with other questions if I have to!

You could use this portable version http://ge.tt/9YXEDNV/v/0
Never had a problem with it. (I can hear the naysayers...)

There is an official portable client. No need to grab files from random file hosters.

I clearly understand we're volunteering our time but if you don't know then don't response!
Importantly: There no needs to shout multibit link isn't usefull to you as I already explained!
As of matter of fact your previous response was reported to the moderator.
Be warn!
Your link returns me to the opening topic of multibit, how do you think that's useful for me? If you have a specific question just ask it, don't make me or other people trying to help you out dive into a 64 pages thread looking for the specific paragraph you are talking about. We are volunteering our time to help you at least make it easy for us. I'm done helping you at least.

Tachikoma, if you did access the link that I provided leading to this, you would have took note:
https://multibit.org/help_runFromUSBDrive.html
Seeing the instruction number 5 via link above, you will note by create a file by leaving blank and saving into USB drive, will prevent saving in windows user data file.
How can you not understand this?
Now is it the same way with electrum or not?

I still don't understand why you want to run it from USB. Because multibit can do it too?

Since multibit can run this as seen here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=43616.new;topicseen#new
That's why I am asking this!
"This thing" can be run from an USB Drive, but I wonder why you would like to do so. You don't have to download the blockchain, it's ready to go once you installed it.

Just how safe is Electrum? I carry over 100+ coins, I'm scared I might be a sitting duck here.
It's as safe as you make it. Use a unique strong password, make sure you scan your pc for mallware and the likes. If you want to be super safe create an offline wallet. Does this thing can install and run from USB drive?
I know while running regular bitcoin client, it hours to download blockchain or something, is this the same with electrum?
