Please Help Test Armory 0.91-beta!

[goatpig]

0.90.99.7 is occasionally freezing on me on OS X 10.9.2, just sitting at the main window idle. I've only noticed so far when switching back after leaving it in the background for a while. It beachballs and shows "Disconnected", without me being able to do anything. The first few times it did that, it came back after 3 - 5 minutes, but it just got stuck for about 20 or 30 minutes before I did a force quit.

Last logfile entry:
2014-04-04 19:25 (INFO) -- announcefetch.py:249 - Fetching: https://s3.amazonaws.com/bitcoinarmory-media/announce.txt?ver=0.90.99.7
(Is there some additional logging level I failed to turn on?)

Doesn't use up much CPU when it's doing that, either.

There is no higher verbose level available to you without rebuilding from source. You're experiencing this issue on OSX 10.9.2. With have had some trouble so far delivering a stable experience on OSX. We recently stabilized 10.9.1 and Apple recently updated .9.2 which got us in trouble again.

If you want to help isolating the issue, do the following: if you can easily reproduce the issue, try and reproduce it on another OS. If you fail to, then this is a pure OSX issue. At this point save your current log file, delete it from Armory's datadir, then reproduce the error, and send us both log files with your observations. This would take us a quite a few steps forward in fixing the issue.

Agreed. I've received reports of similar issues but have had a lot of trouble reproducing most of them. The closest I've come is that Armory will sometimes take about 30-60s in order to shut down, but it will shut down eventually. (That being said, I've noticed that BC-Core can also take a little while to shut down as of 0.9.)

Try .91

Sorry guys, running around like a chicken with my head cut off.  I did post 0.91 yesterday.  We have a conference tomorrow, and I'll be out for a few days.  Of course changing from X.XX-testing to X.XX-beta broke the notifications... gonna have to tweak some things.  But it is posted on our website.  We'll send out something to the email list too   (sign up on the webpage).

@forever3x:  I am going to guess you have lots of transactions.  Like thousands?  We are aware that we have a problems with that, and we're not exactly sure of a good short-term solution.  But any information about the wallet would be useful so we can try to run with a wallet like it to fix it in the future.

Runtime Error!

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the applications support team for more information.


been getting this for  a while now - tried the updates, bitcoin updates too, reinstalled the c++ libraries no effect can anyone help out or point me in right direction please.

[goatpig]

Anyone else getting a "Wallet Corruption Found!!!" error after installing either 0.90.99.7 or 0.91-beta?

I'm a little concerned as it wants me to enter my pass phrase to fix the wallet.

That means fix your wallet. It will appear again and again until you fix your wallet, as it will keep on running into the same wallet corruption.

If you're uncertain about the corruption, copy and paste your error log in PMs, or create a ticket for it.

Does Armory crash before you get to see the GUI, or do you crash halfway through sync/build/scan? Can you start Armory in offline mode?

Sent you a PM. Thank you etotheipi.

Tested 0.91-beta on OSX 10.9.2

Beautiful update, only quirk is that it seems that one of the few bugs I had with 0.90-beta, which was Armory crashing after the system went on sleep and QT out of sync is still not solved... Now it doesn't crash completely, it just freezes and I have to force it to close.

One of the updates I consider more important is the "safe download" option: I have to admit that downloading a new version from the webpage and verifying the files manually had me a little nervous, I feel much more comfortable by having a trusted and automatic way to download updates.

[unbalancedeq]

Are there Version 0.91-beta: Signed hashes available? there doesn't seem to be a link on the download page

[Rampion]

Are there Version 0.91-beta: Signed hashes available? there doesn't seem to be a link on the download page

FYI:

Could someone tell me where to get the signed hash for the Mac version of 0.91?  It seems to be missing from the download page.

Thanks

roy

Sorry, my new release script forgot to pull it from the offline computer.  It will be posted to the website shortly.  Until then:

Does Armory crash before you get to see the GUI, or do you crash halfway through sync/build/scan? Can you start Armory in offline mode?

Yes i get to see the GUI, and its appears to crash towards the end of the scan about 93%. And yes i can use it in offline mode.
In both offline and normal mode my wallet balance is blank - is this normal until its completed the download of the block chain?

it used to work fine and it was around the time i upgrade to bitcoin 0.9. so i downgraded which didnt help, also tried reinstalling both bitcoin and armory, and the runtime c++ library files. bitcoin is x64 - also tried the x86 build of bitcoin no joy.

EDIT:: it crashes at 95%

[runeks]

One small bug: in Settings, under "Set Armory as default URL handler", when I click "Set Armory as default", the popup that appears says:

Armory just attempted to register itself to handle "bitcoin:" links, but this does not work on all operating systems. You can test it by going to the Bitcoin Armory website and clicking the link at the bottom of the homepage.

but there is no such link at the bottom of the homepage.

First thing to do is to rebuild the database. Go to help -> Rebuild and Rescan Databases

In offline mode you will never see your balance.

You dont get to see your balance when trying to get online because it never finishes loading.

If deleting the DB doesnt get you any further, create a ticket.

Thanks for the compliments, and sorry to hear about the freezes. I've heard multiple reports about this. The weird thing is that I haven't been able to reproduce it yet! If you see this again, can you file a ticket and include the logs (/Users/(Your Username)/Library/Application Support/Armory/armorycpplog.txt and armorylog.txt)?

While I'm here, thanks to everybody who came out to the Inside Bitcoins conference! It was great to hear the feedback - good and bad - about Armory and the Mac build. Keep the feedback and bug reports coming! Both help us improve Armory.

Thanks that was just the trick its working perfectly now.

I was wondering if updating the bitcoin-qt caused this as it seemed to work fine before i did that. Or is it just good practice to rebuild the database after an undate of either bitcoin or armoury? Or maybe it was something else i did around the same time that threw everything off......
Away it working fine now. Thanks soo much!

Running OSX 10.9.2, Bitcoin-qt 0.9.1, and Armory 0.91-beta. 

I waited for Bitcoin Qt to download the entire block chain and now my satoshi client is synced up with the network 100% and acts normal.  When I open Armory it says 1.5 Hours left for 'building databases' and doesn't move from that point.  Also in the bottom right corner in green is says Connected (0 Blocks). 

Any help?  I thought since my satoshi client already downloaded the entire blockchain that Armory would start working immediately?

No armory has its own database too now. It should be quick.

Not necessarely. The previous release (0.90) was the first version using LevelDB as our background engine for the DB. In this release (0.91) we tweaked LevelDB's settings to squeeze some extra speed. This is what made the older DBs incompatible with the newer ones. Chances are we won't touch these settings again, or at least not in the near future.

Minor bug, not sure how long it's been there.

Using 'Simple' software keyboard for passphrase entry, the & character generates 2 keypresses (not sure if either of them is correct, I just used the hardware keyboard for that character)
