Ubdate Electrum offline-wallet

[Finsh]

Hello Guys,

i made a split bitcoinwallet following the Tutorial in the Qubes OS to the letter.Unfortunately, i cant spent bitcoins, because when im trying to sign the transaction,the following error appears: "Server did not answer" i already found out, its a bug in the electrumversion(2.7.9), and a update of the wallet should solve the problem.

so, i tried the following commands:

echo deb http://http.debian.net/debian jessie-backports main > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jessie-backports.list <-only works in the rootshell, if i run it with sudo, it still says permission denied.

apt-get update

apt-get -t jessie-backports electrum

here i get the error "cant find command line t in [-t] how is this possible, the command -t is listetd in the man page (--target)

also, if i get the update to work and i have the new version, do i have to restore the wallet? how would that be possible with an offline-wallet?
seed, masterkey etc is backuped, of course.

help is much appreciated,
greetings from Germany

You should do:
apt-get install -t jessie-backports electrum

You don't need to restore the wallet, it should work fine.

Unfortunately electrum current version on Debian is 2.7.9 and it won't
be updated due freeze. You could try to run electrum from www.electrum.o
rg

Download python sources, verify gpg integrity, uncompress and just run
./electrum on the uncompresed dir.

thanks.i Did that, but now, how do i add the shortcut to the Appvms? i did it the regular way, but this way its still the 2.7.9

i can run it with ./electrum in the template-terminal of course.

Woah slow down. We need some details if we're going to help you.

If you spawn a new terminal in your AppVM containing electrum, and run
`electrum` in the terminal, is there any output? If so, and it's still
not launching, can you paste it here?

Since you stated you're running `./electrum` in an earlier post, it
sounds like you're trying to run a copy of electrum that's not from the
package manager. If you reinstall electrum as normal (sudo apt-get
install electrum) do it run then?

If a program is uninstalled without Qubes knowing shortcuts that don't
work can be left over in the dom0 menu. To remedy this first run
`qvm-sync-appmenus <TemplateVM name>` in dom0, then navigate to the 'Add
more shortcuts...' menu for your desired VM and try to remove and re-add
electrum. If there binary is valid it should now launch.

Let us know how you get on.

Im sorry, im a bit nervous(i need to pay my VPN untill tomorrow)

i only run the new version in the template with /.electrum(because its not installed) the installed version however from debain is 2.7.9, which has a bug so i cant use it as an offlinewallet.
I experimented a little in the meantime.i uninstalled the btc client, reinstalled it in a regulär debian-8 template, and made a appwm for the wallet whit sys-whonix as netvm.
i restored the old wallet(the offline seed) but the btc are gone? i could see them on the online/whatching olny wallet.
does this mean the btc are gone?!

update: I restored the same seed on an other computer.....and everything works, the btc are there, everything fine.I really dont get it.
