~/.local/bin/electrum
That was the answer - I just wasn't locating the executable.
Many thanks to you all for the assistance.

Looks like the one that was deleted was just the shortcut that you've created from that command.
@OP: try the above and if any of the commands work, do the same as I said above to create the shortcut, but with the right command on "exec".If it does, you can create an Electrum.desktop file which contains
And them give it permissions to be executed
Code:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Electrum
Exec=COMMAND_HERE
Icon=/opt/electrum/electrum-icon.png
Type=Application
In the /usr/share/applications/ folder.Name=Electrum
Exec=COMMAND_HERE
Icon=/opt/electrum/electrum-icon.png
Type=Application
And them give it permissions to be executed
Code:
chmod +x /usr/share/applications/Electrum.desktop
nc50lc - I have the wallet re-seed key. I re-installed Electrum - installation seemed to run perfectly but no icon when complete. Using terminal, the reply to command 'electrum' was once again, command not found !
I've checked your previous thread; you had a problem executing electrum using "electrum" command.This looks the same as your previous issue, so try Abdussamad's suggestion from before:
try the following command:
if the above command works create a shortcut to that executable file on your desktop. ~ = home directory here.
Code:
~/.local/bin/electrum
~/.local/bin/run_electrum #only if the above one fails
~/.local/bin/run_electrum #only if the above one fails
if the above command works create a shortcut to that executable file on your desktop. ~ = home directory here.
Looks like the one that's deleted was just the shortcut that you've created from that command.
How are you re-installing it?
Can you try uninstalling it with:
And then installing it again with:
(If you didn't try this exact way yet)
Can you try uninstalling it with:
Code:
sudo pip3 uninstall electrum
And then installing it again with:
Code:
sudo pip3 install https://download.electrum.org/3.3.8/Electrum-3.3.8.tar.gz
(If you didn't try this exact way yet)
Thank you for your replies.

TryNinja - Electrum is NOT present in usr/local/bin/ - the directory is actually empty.
Further help stili needed - thank you !

See if Electrum exists in /usr/local/bin/electrum
If it does, you can create an Electrum.desktop file which contains
And them give it permissions to be executed
Now try running it.

Have you written your SEED (random 12-words) to a piece of paper as instructed during the wallet creation process?
If yes, you can just restore it to a newly installed Electrum using the options:
Standard wallet->i already have a seed
And your previous funds will be displayed after a few minutes.
You can also check your electrum directory for a wallet folder where your wallet file was stored.
it has a default name of default_wallet or different if you've given it a different name.
If that's the case, it will be loaded once you've reinstalled Electrum.

Newbie here...........
Last week, I had Electrum 3.3.4 running on Ubuntu 18.04 - ran flawlessly.
I updated Ubuntu to 19.04 - Electrum appears to have 'disappeared' !
Icon has gone - typing 'electrum' into Terminal produces reply "Command not found"
The Home/Electrum directory is present and, I presume, correct.
Can anyone help show me the correct way to re-connect with the wallet.
Many thanks,
