Ah thank you for your help. Unfortunately, my drive gave up running the whole thing, or maybe I was not doing something right. I just learnt how to set up the whole thing with YouTube videos and posts and don't know how to operate outside that box 
So I had to delete the whole thing. And I am starting clean with windows this time hope it works 

Thank you for your time.

Alright, so I went into the Armory settings and changed the Bitcoin Blockchain Dir and the Bitcoin Home Dir. I saved it and switched off Armory. I checked the Armorysettings.txt file and it updated the information. However, when I go to the log file it's still showing me the same error, it's still looking for the default directory.

I tried opening armory from the terminal and inserted the command line but it says no such file or directory 

Thanks BOB123 for the reply!

So I checked in Bitcoin core settings it says:
-DATADIR : /home/barbara/snap/bitcoin-core/common/.bitcoin
-BLOCKSDIR: /home/barbara/snap/bitcoin-core/common/.bitcoin/blocks

What do you mean by starting Armory with the corresponding argument.... ? Do you mean inputing the code into the Armory settings where it asks for the datadir?
I am looking in the armory folder but there is no armoryqt.conf file. It only has 6 folders: databases, armorycpplog.txt, armorylog.txt, armorysettings.txt, dblog.text and .cookie_

Thank you again for the help. Greatly appreciated

Hi there,

Long story short I've installed Ubuntu 20.04 on an external drive and run Bitcoin core on it. Armory was not compatible with the newest ubuntu so after 2 days of researching and learning I saw that there were some dependency problems. I got python qt4 and all the other dependency packages and managed to install the newest Armory.

Armory, however, does not show any signs. It's not scanning or preparing anything the bars are empty and it does not show time or percentage change. I've tried running bitcoin core first and then armory (unticked the let armory run core in the background) but nothing changed.

The log file shows 2 errors: 1.  Failed to set up SDM  and 2.DB error: /home/barbara/.bitcoin/blocks is not a valid path

I saw other people posting with the same error and they were prompted to change the directory. I am trying to do that since yesterday but I just don't know how to do it. What to click on or what to write. I am really not good at tech stuff especially Ubuntu, I've never done anything like this before.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am on the verge of giving up I really don't know what to do anymore.

Thank you in advance

It didnt fix it for me  the message is still popping up. I am not exactly sure which one am I supposed to download. I have Bitcoin Core (64 bit) and downloaded bitcoin-0.13.2-win64-setup.exe and installed it as normal. I would greatly appreciate some extra help.
