Hello All,
I recently have had problems getting my Windows based computer, so I have been attempting to get armory to work on Linux laptop. I'm new to Ubuntu, so it is unclear when something is not working whether it is a problem in the program or my unfamiliarity with Linux. I cannot get bitcoin core 0.17.1 to load not can I get it to be initialized by Amory and begin downloading the database.
Running Ubuntu 18.04 on Acer Aspire 7551G6477 965GB free space on drive.
Any help will be apreciated

I have tried running several versions of Armory (93.6.3, 96.3.99, and others). Currently I can't get past the initial splash screen. When I was able to get 96.3 to load, I got an error message that something was wrong with my headers and that I could rebuild them. I ended up doing a complete download of the blockchain which took about a week. When it was complete, database was organized and rebuilt. The database synchronization was near completion and then an error message popped up suggesting submitting a ticket. The armorylog file is at Pastebin (Docgatorb), I'm using Bitcoin client 15.0.1 on Windows 10. CPU: Intel Pentium J2 900 @ 2.41 GHz. RAM 400 GB; 914 GB HDD with 269 GB free.

Thanks for your time.
