Electrum-LTC won't start & icon sizes #16

Closed LF76 closed 6 years ago

LF76 commented 6 years ago

Thanks a lot for the fast updates, Steven! I just grabbed the iso to check the improvements.

I just wish to point out 2 bugs, maybe, if you can check them.

With the new icons in the wbar, it gets 'cut off' in some monitors, depending on the screen resolution.

For example, in a 1024x768 monitor, I can't click the icons for Electrum and Electrum-LTC, on the left size.

Maybe one way to fix it could be to reduce the icon size in the wbar-config to 36, or 24. Or automatically according to the screen res.

I tried to use in the terminal 'xrandr --output LVDS --auto' as a workaround.

Also, when I start Electrum-LTC, nothing happens after I type the password. Testing in the terminal, there's this error: No module named 'dns'. Try sudo pip install...

Could you check it, please? Don't know if it's a package missing or a bug in the latest LTC version.

Thanks again for your time and help with the project.

Valeu, Luis Flavio!

Em inglês pros gringos poderem acompanhar:

I'll look into these issues as soon as I can.

In the meantime, try running the commands electrum-ltc-wrapper and electrum-ltc. I'm guessing you already tried the latter.

If none of that works, try moving the packages directory from electrum into the electrum-ltc directory, then run ./electrum-ltc.

About 1024x768, is this the actual size of your screen, or are you running a VM? I wouldn't advise running a VM because the host client can compromise the guest's security. Still better than a hot wallet, of course, but I wouldn't risk it. Most notebooks support at least 1366x768, which is fine.

Anyway, I have plans to make an HTML page aggregating all the javascript-based wallets and tools to reclaim space in the bar. This should solve your problem.

Obrigado pela resposta, Estêvão!!

I`m trying the ideas you posted. Indeed, in the Electrum-LTC folder, there isn't the packages directory. I tried to copy it, but it seems I don't have permissions in that folder. Anyway, I guess you found the solution to this bug, by adding the missing packages there.

About the screen size, I used a VW just to test it before saving to the USB stick (so the 1024x768), but in my notebook (at 1366x768), still the icons in the borders are hidden/cut.

The HTML file is a great idea anyway to solve it, and/or the icons' size changed to half. Or, alternatively, just save the shortcuts in the Desktop, perhaps.

Simply copying the packages was not enough. The icons are not compiled. They should really release version 3.0.2 already...

Fixed. Uploading the ISO will take a while though.
