I am using arch Linux. I can connect using bitcoin-qt. Armory starts up and connects to bitcoind and confirms the blockchain, then after reading the blockchain it claims it is offline and it could not detect internet connection. I have tried the --skip-online-check to with no change. However it does say connected 0 blocks in the bottom right corner.
