Hi,

I am facing exactly the same issue. Did you have a chance to find a solution?

The solution is backup your wallet/seed, then upgrade Electrum to latest version. You don't want wasting your time to handle installing old version of Python and other dependency required by Electrum 1.8

What are you needing such an old version of Electrum for? Huh

some more info.

if i try:
Code:
electrum --gui=lite

i get:
You need to have PyQT installed to run Electrum in graphical mode

but i already have both:
python-qt4_4.9.1 and
python3-pyqt4_4.9.1

already installed. am i missing an obvious package?

when i try to start electrum i get:

Error: Unknown GUI: classic

I'm using puppy linux (precise). I installed python and qt4 and some other related packages. Electrum 1.8 is installed using pip

(sorry for the improper sub-forum, still newbie here)

any thoughts on what to try? i'm having trouble finding others that have received/resolved the issue.
