Thank you Thomas for responding. The daemon is on but there is no connection. There are no errors showing so ar and I don't know how to debug this, -v just tells me daemon already running. Starting electrum with -g text keep saying "not" connected at the bottom and getbalance just hangs without response.
Thanks again. (This is a fresh installation with no wallet/ configs not headers) -<(Oh btw the headers were successfully downloaded by electrum.)
I asked what happens if you restart the daemon.
So you need to do this:
electrum daemon start
electrum daemon status
