My last 2 attempts to get Armory working have failed.  So I am starting off on the right foot this time....  Can anyone provide a link for store bought laptop with an ubuntu 18 machine(assuming that is still what is recommended) that they themselves have got working please?

Thanks in advance.

Any hints on anything?  Dell?  no dell?  anything to narrow it down?

I'd suggest you install ubuntu yourself instead of looking for a pre-install.

If you don't have experience in using Linux I would suggest you switch to Windows instead it's much easier to install.

I have both bitcoin core and armory wallet on Windows OS without any issue yet.

I have a little experience with linux.  I can pull up a terminal, navigate around directories, and copy commands out, but that is about it.
I have not used a windows machine for over 10 years either though.   I am a mac guy.

I dont really care which one i use, but another thread suggested ubuntu 18 is the easiest.  I have an ubuntu machine here as a result of that thread (my second), so I will give it a go.

I can fire up bitcoin qt and get the check mark.

I get some problems with Armory though.   How can I get the error log?  Where do I find it?

In Linux, you can find it under this path


You need both armorylog.txt and dbLog.txt to analyze the issue.

If you can't find those two files you can search them through this command below as sample
