I am trying to use the electrum ltc wallet on linux but it gives an error: “Warning: package scrypt not available; synchronization could be very slow” The wallet is so slow that its not possible to use it.
However, as far as I can see I have installed all necessary packages that are mentioned in the readme file.
I also tried to use the app image instead but it says “unknown file type” when trying to launch it. The btc electrum wallet + app image works fine.
What do you mean by “package update”? My system is up to date and I have also run
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
I am using Linux Mint 20 “Ulyana” - Cinnamon (64-bit), yes I have synaptic.
The electrum ltc files I have downloaded from electrum-ltc dot org (I cant put links as new user) - I verified the signatures.
By package management i mean looking into the packages (core and dependencies) of the electrum-ltc
To do this synaptic or another package manager is needed, sudo apt-get update does not always fix things such as broken dependencies or old repository sources.
More control with synaptic, also being a GUI helps. Here is an article you may enjoy on the subject
