Armory won't start

[pimd]

I was running Armory 0.95.1 in a Linux Mint virtual machine. Works very well.

But version 0.96 won't start. Nothing happens.

Installation went fine. At least there were no errors and Armory is showing up in the programs list. I used Armory 0.96.0 for Ubuntu/Debian 64-bit with GCC 4.7.deb.
I also tried to install it on a Debian virtual machine but that didn't work out either.

Does anyone knows more about this or having the same problems?
And where should i find the log files?

There are no log files in .armory (ubuntu 16.04) I had the problem happen with both 0.93 and 0.93.3. Attempted to uninstall and reinstall. Dependencies checked, apt-get -f install, with the following output:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  python-attr python-cffi-backend python-cryptography python-enum34 python-idna python-ipaddress python-openssl python-pam python-pkg-resources python-pyasn1 python-pyasn1-modules
  python-serial python-service-identity python-six python-twisted python-twisted-bin python-twisted-core python-zope.interface
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.

This seems odd because these were needed on the previous releases

Run armory from the command line and post the result.

I'm running linux mint as well and get this error when starting armory from the command line.

Which version are you running? If you haven't already, please upgrade to 0.96.4 RC3.

[compuls1v3]

I downloaded this file armory_0.96-gcc5.4_amd64.deb .  Is this the latest?  Thanks for the quick reply!

No.

Also, while the RCs aren't posted on the website (only here), https://btcarmory.com/ is the website you should be checking.

Sorry I'm a relatively new user to linux.  I downloaded Armory 0.96.3 Ubuntu/Debian 64-bit with GCC 4.7 and the install seems to go fine now, but when I run armory from cli, I get this:

Code:

Do I need to manually create the .bitcoin directory?

[droark]

Have you installed and synced Bitcoin Core?

[compuls1v3]

No I have not. Let me look into that.

[droark]

Installing and syncing Core is mandatory if you wish to use Armory. You'll need ~180GB of storage on your system, and this will increase 5-10GB every month.

[bob_vm]

I have Linux Mint 18.3 on 2 computers. Armory comes up normally on the newer Dell computer. I'd like to run Armory on an older HP desktop with 4GB RAM. The OS is a fairly new installation.

I installed armory_0.96-gcc5.4_amd64.deb on the HP and when I load the program, the disk starts going, but then it stops and nothing appears. Also, when I uninstall that, it fails around 75%.

I installed armory_0.96.3.992-gcc5.4_amd64.deb with the same results.

I downloaded source v0.96.3.992.tar.gz from here: https://github.com/goatpig/BitcoinArmory/releases/tag/v0.96.3.992
and uncompressed it into a directory, but couldn't run make from the root directory of the extracted files. I have gcc 5.4 on my HP Linux Mint computer.

I don't want to use the late model computer because it's online everyday.

Am I missing a package?
How can I run make?

[droark]

You have to run autogen.sh and configure before running make.

[bob_vm]

I think I got up to the step and made the Makefile after installing a bunch of packages.

sudo make uninstall
make
etc.

all had error messages.

[droark]

Which directions are you following? What have you installed?

[bob_vm]

OK, I extracted https://github.com/goatpig/BitcoinArmory/archive/v0.96.3.992.tar.gz
and looked at README.md and installed the dependencies:
g++
libcrypto++-dev
swig
python-dev
python-twisted
libqtcore4
libqt4-dev
python-qt4
pyqt4-dev-tools

all the above installed fine.
Then qt4reactor.py  ...
I downloaded it and extracted it. I set the environment variable to its root directory. Previously PYTHONHOME was unset even though python is on Linux Mint by default.

pywin32 - did not install because it's for Windows
py2exe - did not install
LMDB - I see that I did not install this... Their web site looks a bit confusing...

Then I ran autogen.sh

It instructed me to install some other GNU programs like AutoConf and a few others.
Eventually I was able to create Makefile.

When I run 'sudo make uninstall' I there are some lmdb errors, so I'm working on installing lmdb installed...

[droark]

This file would be more appropriate. (I'm in the process of updating the README, by the way. The info is a bit out-of-sync.)
