bitcoin qt is running and I launch armory from terminal at get this error.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

Turn off auto bitcoind in the File -> Settings menu.

In Armory?  The app never loads.  It aborts within seconds.   Any other ideas?

Go to Armory's data directory and find a file named: ArmorySettings.txt
Open that using a text editor and find "ManageSatoshi", change "True" into "False".

Since you're also using 'Bitcoin-qt' instead of 'bitcoind', you might need to add server=1 to your bitcoin.conf file in bitcoin's datadir.

Okay  did the armory settings part and added ManageSatoshi set to false.
I also pointed to the external hard drive for both Armory and bitcoin in the command line with this command
armory --satoshi-datadir="/media/bob/Backup Plus/bitcoin" --datadir="/media/bob/Backup Plus/Armory"

And have drastically reduced the errors but I am still not spawning the app.  Here is the error message.  Any ideas?

What CPU are you using? I'm guessing it's old. Install the noasm version and try again. I suggest you avoid spaces in your paths too.

Where does one find the NOASM version?

You can download it from the Releases section on github (https://github.com/goatpig/BitcoinArmory/releases/tag/v0.96.5).

What CPU are you using?
Are you trying to run armory on your desktop pc? Or a small mini computer (e.g. raspberry pi) ?

Never seen that GTK Error before either... if that is still showing when you try the NOASM version, then there might be an issue with the Ubuntu install (missing libraries? ???)

This is typically when the progress bars are passed a value that is below 0 or above 100. Floating point rounding will do that near 100%.
