So I should rebuild libsecp256k1 and tell mageia team to build it properly, or more, to include it in its repository.

It looks like it's unique problem on specific linux distro or outdated OS. I suspect Mageia 8 looks like still use older version of libsecp256k1, although i can't confirm since the versioning is different from Debian-based OS.

I kind of get it; people want a Windows-like experience from a free OS. But, nothing worth having is "free," and a Windows-like experience would require and OS that... well, works.

Ditch that shitty fucking excuse for an OS. If you want a Windowesque OS on a Linux distro, and have it actually work use Xubuntu Desktop. Don't get me wrong; Xubuntu is still shit, but since it's essentially Ubuntu with the Xfce Desktop it works.

Or Kubuntu which use KDE Plasma, since OP mention he already use KDE desktop environment.

As said nc50lc :

Electrum has its own script to build libsecp256k1, the version for your OS might have a missing module.
Try to use:
Code:
$ ./Electrum-4.1.2/contrib/make_libsecp256k1.sh

So I should rebuild libsecp256k1 and tell mageia team to build it properly, or more, to include it in its repository.

That's good, AFAIK older versions of Ubuntu had the same issue with libsecp256k1 that had been causing the same error in Electrum.
The Appimage however has it already, pre-compiled.

The problem is solved after installing mageia 8. I recovered my BTC :-)

Actually, it is only solved when I run the AppImage.
When I start electrum from the tarball, I get :

Code:

$ Electrum-4.1.2/run_electrum
E | ecc_fast | failed to load libsecp256k1: LibModuleMissing('libsecp256k1 library found but it was built without required module (--enable-module-recovery)')
Error: Failed to load libsecp256k1.

while libsecp256k1 is installed as you can see above and below.

Code:

$ rpm -qa | grep secp256k1
lib64secp256k1_0-0.22.0-1.mga8
lib64secp256k1-devel-0.22.0-1.mga8

To run the tar.gz file you need to install libsecp256k1 from apt:

sudo apt install libsecp256k1-0

But since you're not using a Debian/Ubuntu OS, then the package might have a different name, and you'll have other package managers like yum or pacman.

Edit: since you are using Mageia then use urpmf libsecp256k1 to install it.

Quote from: DireWolfM14 on May 16, 2021, 07:11:03 AM

If I'm not mistaken, the app image will only run on an OS with a GUI Desktop. It looks like the error has to do with electrum's graphical interface.

It'll also work if you launch it from a terminal but you are running it in an X desktop.

If you're getting errors about relocation and missing symbols, your OS version packages older libraries than what the AppImage was built from.

Or, maybe you're tying to run a 64-bit AppImage on 32-bit Mageia.

Thanks for your numerous answers.
I think the 1st thing I have to do is upgrading to mga-8.
I'll give you the result when it's done.

Or the other workarounds mentioned in this post: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/6465#issuecomment-691368241

But I doubt that it will fix the other issue since there seems to be a problem with pyqt5 when you use the Appimage.

I don't know "sudo apt-get"

sudo runs the given command with admin, or root privileges. apt is short for Aptitude, the standard debian software management system. By using sudo the package is installed with root privileges.

This message is quite vague. One of the possible version is you're using outdated OS which has very old version of Qt 5

Mageia-7.1 was a few weeks ago the last version of Mageia.

Version 7.1 was first released nearly two years ago, and is running the Linux 5.1.14 kernel, which isn't an LTS release. I'm not sure if that's your issue, but I'm guessing it might be. Were you able to use an older version of Electrum with this OS?

1st, there are a few mistakes in my yesteday's post :
-> all my tests were done on electrum-4.1.2, not on electrum-4.0.9.

So the true answer to my test with the tarball is :

Code:

$ ./Electrum-4.1.2/run_electrum
/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/requests/__init__.py:91: RequestsDependencyWarning: urllib3 (1.24.3) or chardet (4.0.0) doesn't match a supported version!

Yes, Mageia-7.1

I am not running electrum as a server but on a desktop environment kde/plasma :

If I'm not mistaken, the app image will only run on an OS with a GUI Desktop. It looks like the error has to do with electrum's graphical interface. Are you running a server version operating system?

What "flavour" and version of Linux are you actually trying to run this .AppImage on? ie Is it Ubuntu 18.04? Ubuntu 20.04? Fedora? Arch? Huh

Did you run this on Linux?

I tried to search about this error and I see some solution to solve this issue.

Try this command below.

Code:

sudo apt install libsecp256k1-dev

Then try to open the Electrum again.

I got that solution from here https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/5606
You can also try the other suggestion from that link if the command above doesn't work.
