armory won't install onto linux USB boot

[micalith]

Has anyone managed to run armory in a usb bootable OS? I've tried with ubuntu 11.10, 12.04, and 13.04 and always get the following error when trying to run the armory_0.88.1-beta_amd64.deb installer:

"Dependency is not satisfiable.   python-psutil"

It installs fine on my regular hard-drive ubuntu 11.10

I'm using a Dell latitude e6430,
Intel® Core™ i7-3720QM CPU @ 2.60GHz × 8, 
8GB RAM, 64-bit

python-psutil was a dependency added to Armory in version 0.88+.  You could try one of the earlier versions of Armory (0.87.2) or you could download the python-psutil package from here (I don't think it has any dependencies).  I'm not sure why it wouldn't be satisfiable...

Did you run apt-get update?  It sounds like something's out of date.  Here's an excerpt from my guide using xubuntu 12.04

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo shutdown -r now
sudo apt-get install python-qt4 python-twisted python-psutil
wget https://bitcoinarmory.googlecode.com/files/armory_0.88.1-beta_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i armory_0.88.1-beta_i386.deb

I'm having trouble as well. New install of 12.04. Can anyone tell what I'm missing? Thank you.

what version of Python are you running?

what version of Python are you running?

Is this correct?

Code:

$ python
Python 2.7.3 (default, Apr 10 2013, 06:20:15) 
[GCC 4.6.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

edit:

I had to

Code:

sudo rm -fR /var/lib/apt/lists/*

and then run the update. Don't know why it worked, but it did.

I'm having this problem with a new machine as well. My other one is fine, but for this particular version I'm encountering the python qt4 etc. "depends on, and is not install" issues others have reported here as well. Not able to proceed further until this is fixed, any ideas?

I tried the fR suggestion here and still encountering problems.

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:

Ok so I fixed my issue

If anyone is running into this issue, do the following:


sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get clean and sudo apt-get autopurge
Repair all of your packages and software in the software center
re-try installing the package again, should be good to go this time around

for some reason the  python package was corrupted.
