Description

My electrum / ledger setup stopped working.

The Appimage won't find the device at startup: "No hardware device detected".

I can see these errors when launching the AppImage from console:

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gio/modules/libgvfsdbus.so: undefined symbol: g_date_time_format_iso8601
Failed to load module: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gio/modules/libgvfsdbus.so
 17.82 | W | jade | No module named 'electrum.plugins.jade.jadepy.jade_ble'
 17.82 | W | jade | BLE scanning/connectivity will not be available

Ledger device is working fine with other software. I have also updated to latest version.

any idea ? what could be wrong?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure with the Electrum AppImage and inspect the console output, including the missing Jade BLE module and hardware-device detection message. Compare Ledger detection with the reported behavior in other software; the issue does not identify a file, test, or clear acceptance condition for a fix.
