I have a problem uppgrading Electrum wallet on tails, despite following a guide.

Hi! I am following this guide https://blog.thestever.net/2019/02/26/upgrading-electrum-on-tails-to-3-3-4/

The first thing i do is log in as a administrator in tails by setting up a simple password. I also have a persistent storage with the following being saved Personal data, GnuPG, Bitcoin Client and Dotfiles.

After adding and verifying the PGP-key i download the Appimage binary and the signature and Everything is fine.

The first problem i encounter is when i put the followin in the terminal:

sudo mkdir -p /live/persistence/TailsData_unlocked/dotfiles/.local/share/applications sudo chown -R 1000:1000 /live/persistence/TailsData_unlocked/dotfiles/ mkdir -p /home/amnesia/Persistent/bin/ mkdir -p /home/amnesia/Persistent/conf/electrum/

the sudo command asks for a password( administator) and gives me a "wrong password" Before i print anything. I somehow get passed this.

The next big issue is when i am supposed to save a specifik command into gedit. After pressing save i get the following error message.

" Could not save the file /live/persistence/TailsD...ications/electrum.desktop

Sevral people have complained about this and other things in the comments if the guide. Please help if you can.

tldr: Getting stuck on saving the following text in a gedit:

[Desktop Entry] Comment=Lightweight Bitcoin Client Exec=/home/amnesia/Persistent/bin/electrum.AppImage -D /home/amnesia/Persistent/conf/electrum/ GenericName[en_US]=Bitcoin Wallet GenericName=Bitcoin Wallet Icon=electrum Name[en_US]=Electrum Bitcoin Wallet Name=Electrum Bitcoin Wallet Categories=Finance;Network; StartupNotify=false Terminal=false Type=Application MimeType=x-scheme-handler/bitcoin; Actions=Testnet;
