It worked, thank you so much! I am online!
Regarding the ram usage, on this machine I have 16gb, and I switched over from the Ubuntu PC which only has 4gb. In the long run I would prefer the Ubuntu PC as I can leave it online 24/7. Do you think with the settings you recommended to me now, it might also work on the Ubuntu PC where it always got stuck building the DB?
On your low RAM machine, you should use:
db-type=DB_BARE
ram-usage=1
On your other machine, you shouldn't need any of these extra settings at all. If it's still failing to build & scan, use DB_BARE. DB_BARE is an initialization setting, you can't swap it around after the DB has been created. Once you create a DB_BARE db, that setting will stick for the db's lifetime, so manage it accordingly.
The fact that your machines require DB_BARE suggests some sort of system instability (by default the build phase will max out your CPU).
@goatpig, did you change the location of the Armory installation for 0.96? I've tried the 0.95.99.3 .deb package, but I'm getting an absence of installation at /usr/lib/ (even the directory /usr/lib/armory isn't created, /usr/local/armory & /usr/local/armorydb are created). Installation is suspiciously quick also, is there some error in the install package?
Plenty changed, courtesy of autotools. All binaries now go to /usr/local/bin, libs and python code files go to /usr/local/lib/armory. Desktop files still go to /usr/share/applications. The .deb does not distribute CPP code files anymore.
