How to get Electrum to recognize Ledger Nano S hardware wallet

Hi

I am trying to install Ledger and Electrum to work together.

Ledger Live Desktop works just fine, but seems Electrum needs some python modules.

python-btchip and python-aiorpcx are already present.

On electrum I am keep getting

No hardware device detected.
To trigger a rescan, press 'Next'.

On Linux, you might have to add a new permission to your udev rules.


Debug message
  bitbox02: (error getting device infos)
    Missing libraries for bitbox02.
    Make sure you install it with python3
  coldcard: (error getting device infos)
    Missing libraries for coldcard.
    Make sure you install it with python3
  keepkey: (error getting device infos)
    Missing libraries for keepkey.

I assume you have the ledger-udev package installed?

Upstream bug report is here: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/6745
Weirdly, it still does not work on my machine with latest 4.0.6 release. I'm gonna have a look at the code…

EDIT: Found the issue, in my case.

The python-btchip package that I've just rebuilt manually was built with Python 3.8, and in the meantime the system upgraded to Python 3.9…

So, what should I do? Rebuild or install with pip?
