If you start BitcoinQt manually, does it crash? Also, how are you passing your custom blockchain path to Armory?

Is that a legitimate problem? Or just Armory not being able to calculate the disk space on the external drive?  |

Goatpig - can you please explain in plain English:
"start BitcoinQt manually"
and "passing your custom blockchain path to Armory"?
sorry for the newbie question

"start BitcoinQt manually"
1. Make sure Armory is NOT running 2. Goto: C:\Program Files\Bitcoin 3. Double click on bitcoin-qt.exe what happens? Also, what version of Bitcoin Core do you have installed? and "passing your custom blockchain path to Armory"?
You stated that your Bitcoin data directory (ie. the folder that has your wallet.dat and all the Bitcoin Core "blocks" data) is in a non-standard custom location (ie. "Running BitcoinCore on an external HD"). Looking at the logs... it is in D:\BitcoinCore How are you telling Armory where your Blockchain data is? Did you set that in a .conf file? Did you set it in the Armory settings window? |

Create a file named armoryqt.conf in your Armory datadir (where your wallets are), put this line in there: satoshi-datadir=D:\BitcoinCore\blocks

Create a text file, rename it armoryqt.conf, put the one line in there. Make sure you display known file extensions or you won't be able to change the .txt to .conf.

Remove the path setting in the GUI and try again.

yes, in the settings window i checked "let armory run Bitcoin Core in the background"
and have "D:\BitcoinCore" as Bitcoin Home Dir
goatpig Why didn't this work in the first place? Might it be helpful for Armory to display an error message in the future (like "can't find satoshi -datadir") instead of hanging on "preparing database"? |

Only DB stuff gets reported in the GUI, cause it's not expecting to fail itself. I'll push a bug fix release with a bunch of such fixes sometimes soon. |

No, I'm asking why having "D:\BitcoinCore" as Bitcoin Home Dir in the settings failed. |

I have not investigated it, most likely the setting in the GUI gets bypassed at some point. If your question is does this work as intended, the answer is no, this is a bug. |

Bitcoin Core V.18.1 running on an external hard drive (D:)
2020-01-07 12:54:36 (INFO) -- ArmoryUtils.pyc:1284 - Satoshi BTC directory : D:\Bitcoin core
2020-01-07 12:54:40 (ERROR) -- ArmoryQt.py:1862 - Failed to setup SDM
BitcoindError: bitcoind not found
Is there really a space between 'Bitcoin' and 'core' of the folder name of your Bitcoin Core's directory? Because you've been trying to load it from E:\BitcoinCore last November, but now, you changed it to D:\Bitcoin core ( with space) -edit-She deleted her post, maybe it was solved. |
