Electrum protocol timeout sometimes too small for a slow Electrum Personal Server

Hi, I get the following error when trying to connect Electrum wallet to EPS on Lubuntu.

Opened the config file in the Electrum root directory in notepad. Changed the line oneserver=false to oneserver=true. Worked for me.

Found the solution and it works fine now. For anyone using OS X and experiencing the same issues:

Write a script in Script Editor with the following content (adjust path and IP(host)):

do shell script "open -a '/Users/username/Folder/Electrum.app' --args --oneserver --server [host]:50002:s"
