Title: Latest Armory doesn't work with latest Ubuntu, is it just me?
Post by: Looser by Choice on December 28, 2013, 12:48:52 PM
Here is what happens
I downloaded and installed "Version 0.90-beta for Ubuntu/Debian 12.04-64bit" on Ubuntu 13.10 64bit
Installed bitcoind and everything else it asked for using the button in the app
It starts just fine, creates a wallet and downloads the blockchain.
Once it did that i closed the app.
When I tried to start it later, nothing happens when clicking on the icon. Literally nothing.
The offline and testnet icons start it just fine.
I reverted to factory settings from the offline version. But starting the normal Amory icon after that does the same. Nothing.
Sometimes after restart Ubuntu says there has been system error though.
The ubuntu install is fresh and with minimal stuff installed, so it should be clean and not a problem with something else.

Is it just me?

Try starting it from the command line.  Just open a terminal and type "python /usr/lib/armory/ArmoryQt.py".  If it fails to load, you'll see some information about why.  You can post the output here.

so when i start it from the terminal as advised i just get

python /usr/lib/armory/ArmoryQt.py
(WARNING) armoryengine.py:11334 - Overriding not-available message. This should happen 0-5 times
(WARNING) armoryengine.py:11334 - Overriding not-available message. This should happen 0-5 times
(WARNING) armoryengine.py:11334 - Overriding not-available message. This should happen 0-5 times


and it starts and works just fine.

What does /usr/share/applications/armory.desktop say?  Mine is:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Armory
GenericName=Bitcoin Client
Comment=Full-featured Bitcoin wallet management application
Categories=Qt;Network;
Exec=python /usr/lib/armory/ArmoryQt.py %u
Icon=armoryicon
StartupNotify=false
Terminal=false
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/bitcoin

More or less -- I'm not sure why it doesn't load for you with that.

Copy paste the content of the .desktop file in here. Type this in your termina to open itl:

gedit /usr/share/applications/armory.desktop.

Do the Armory offline or Armory testnet icons work?
