Due to the numerous distros of Linux, this is a generic set of instructions for the GUI interface.
- First, turn off your wallet.
- Make a copy of your wallet
- Open the Home directory and press Control + H
- Hidden folders are displayed, open the folder .xep
- Copy and paste your wallets folder to a safe location such as another folder or even better, a usb drive.
- Delete all files and folders in the XEP folder EXCEPT the wallets folder
- Uninstall your current wallet (or trash the current xep-qt program)
- It is normal for files to populate in the XEP folder once the XEP program is ran again
- Download and install the latest wallet version
- Run the wallet and wait for the full sync. Do note:
- Balance will be 0 and transactions will be empty. These will populate as the blockchain syncs.
- If you wish, you can see all created wallet addresses in File->”Receiving addresses” in the XEP Menu
