Walletwasabi: Cannot install on Ubuntu 14.04

[chimp1984]

Tried installing on a Ubuntu 14.04 VM and got that error at installation:

dpkg-deb: error: archive '/home/mk/Downloads/Wasabi-1.1.10.2.deb' has premature member 'control.tar.xz' before 'control.tar.gz', giving up dpkg: error processing archive /home/mk/Downloads/Wasabi-1.1.10.2.deb (--install): subprocess dpkg-deb --control returned error exit status 2

Also got bad quality warning at installation:

`Lintian check results for /home/mk/Downloads/Wasabi-1.1.10.2.deb:

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
/bin/tar: Child returned status 1
/bin/tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Which seed word format use wasabi? BIP39? Can I import it in Electrum?
Can I see my seeds in the app? Is there a way to decrypt with the password if I have not backed up the seed (at least the one i have backed up seems to not work with Electrum)?

Yes you can restore your wallet using Electrum. (you need both your seed and your password)

Can I see my seeds in the app?

No.

Is there a way to decrypt with the password if I have not backed up the seed (at least the one i have backed up seems to not work with Electrum)?

If you don't have your seed but you have your password you can restore your wallet using Electrum with your Extended Account zprv that you can find in: Advanced --> Wallet Info tab.

@yahiheb Thanks. I tried both using the master key and creating a wallet file but my last 4 txs are not shown up and balance is 0 again. I did the gap_limit setting as well.

[yahiheb]

You mean you tried using Electrum?
Did you change both the change_gap_limit and the gap_limit_for_change?

[chimp1984]

Yes, Electrum. And yes did change both.

[yahiheb]

Have you checked those 4 txs in a block explorer?

If increasing the gap limit in Electrum still shows that you have no balance, then I would say that your balance in 0.

.NET Core 3 supported OS defines Ubuntu 16.04+, pointing to the Ubuntu lifecycle, as Ubuntu 14 support ended in 2019 April, so there is nothing we can do about it, so closing this issue: https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/master/release-notes/3.1/3.1-supported-os.md#linux

However feel free to try and hack around, but also consider this is a security critical software so using obsolated OS may be a bad idea.

@yahiheb I checked all transactions and its missing. I never could make the tx in wasabi as it came with an error. where can i see the address where the joincoined balances are sitting on? then i can check those balances.

@nopara73 i just had an old VM with Ubuntu 14, not using it for other stuff.... Also tried on a old Windows VM but it was so slow that I gave up and it also did not show up the balance.

I will ask a friend now to try to get my btc out from my wallet after spending > 5 hours without success.

[chimp1984]

Will try to clean the data directory completely and load the wallet fresh again to see how history and balance is.

TLDR: I got my BTC out already, was just not visible on Wasabi.
