Electrum 1.9.8 on tails not connected after restoring wallet from seed - Please Help

I sent coins to my electrum wallet earlier today and they showed up as received. I'm an idiot and forgot my password so I couldn't send my coins to the market. I succesfully restored my wallet using the seed I wrote down and made a new password. Now electrum says not connected where my balance used to be displayed in the lower left. The receiving wallet I sent the coins to now shows a 0 balance 0 transactions. When I run from terminal I get the following message:

Bus::open: Can not get ibus-daemon's address. IBusInputContext::createInputContext: no connection to ibus-daemon

If someone can please help me get this working and my coin to show up I'll throw some coin your way

Go to Tools -> Network and check if the proxy is set correctly:

SOCKS5 localhost:9150

That happens pretty often in Tails with Electrum. It also sometimes hangs if you try to reconnect after restoring your wallet. So I'm going to guide you through deleting your wallet file, then re-opening it so you can enter the words and re-create it again, with the network connection working.

First, exit Electrum. Then open the terminal and type "sudo nautilus" and hit enter. The file explorer will open (along with a popup that you can close and ignore), and you want to hit "File System" on the left side. Then double click open "home" folder, then the "amnesia" folder. Then go to the "View" menu and select "Show Hidden Files". Then open the ".electrum" folder (with a period before the name 'electrum'), and open the "wallets" folder inside it. Right click on the file in there and hit move to trash.

Then close that window and the terminal.

Then right click on the green onion icon on the upper right of the screen. Hit "New Identity". Then open the internet browser and wait for the page to load, to make sure the network is working properly. Then run Electrum again and restore your wallet, and now it should connect. It will regenerate your addresses, and eventually give you a "recovery successful" popup. Then you need to wait about 10 minutes while it downloads the blockchain block headers. Then exit Electrum again, and re-open it. If it says not connected, click the red circle icon to open the networking stuff, and don't change anything and just hit OK. Let it sit for a moment and it should re-connect eventually. You can do that process whenever you close and re-open now if it ever hangs on connecting again.

Let me know if this doesn't work or if you encounter any other problems.
