electrum 1.9.7-1

Then it's normal probably and that's the reason . Make sure you have the seed of electrum so you recover your wallet and do this on the terminal

Install dependencies:

sudo apt-get install python-qt4 python-pip
Install Electrum:

sudo pip install https://download.electrum.org/2.5.2/Electrum-2.5.2.tar.gz

Source : https://www.electrum.org/#download

Thanks!!! Worked! No need to restore wallet, all syncronised and back to normal workings. Phew!
I do notice it can be slow to sync and u need shut down and re-open. But all good!!!

If he's using the version which is in Ubuntu repositories then I think he's on 1.9.8 and I have that version too in one of my linux machines and I have no problems loading it up.

BTW thomas, I replied on github, sorry I was not able to respond earlier.

this is a recent issue; a bugfix release will be done today.

edit: sorry, it's not the issue I thought it was. you should probably upgrade Elctrum.
