Title: "Cannot find bitcoin installation" no matter what I do. (about to starve here)
Post by: TheNerd on December 16, 2016, 01:48:53 PM
Ubuntu here
It used to work just fine, but when stared once it started giving "Cannot find bitcoin installation"

I have the custom line in armory.desktop
"Exec=/usr/bin/armory --satoshi-datadir=/media/user/data/Misc/.bitcoin --datadir=/media/user/data/Misc/.armory %u"

I tried also setting them in the "Change settigns" button
Bitcoin install dir: /media/user/data/Misc/.armory/latestBitcoinInst/bitcoin-0.11.1
Bitcoin home dir: /media/user/data/Misc/.bitcoin

Still the same  "Cannot find bitcoin installation"


I of course updated armory to the latest 0.95.1 and bitcoin to bitcoin-0.11.1, ddn't help either.

Please help since I'm really low on cash and need to get access to my bitcoins to buy some food :)

In Files -> Settings, either force the path to the binary, or turn off auto bitcoind entirely and run BitcoinQt manually.
