armory - QGtkStyle could not resolve GTK

[harlequininja]

Hey guys,

I'm trying to setup Armory on my freshly installed Debian. I installed bitcoincore and everything is running fine.
But I can't get Armory running.

If I try to run armory via terminal as sudo I get this message

No protocol specified
ArmoryQt.py: cannot connect to X server :0

If I try to run armory via terminal as normal user I get this message

QGtkStyle could not resolve GTK. Make sure you have installed the proper libraries.

If I click on the Desktop-Icon nothing happens.

I checked all the dependencies and installed all the libraries as described in this post https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5209374.0

Any ideas what could be the problem?

Cheers!

I search a bit and according to this you need to allow the root user access to X server and point to the right display.

use this commands

Code:

xhost local:root

And then this

Code:

sudo DISPLAY=$DISPLAY gedit /etc/profile

If not, try to repeat the installation try to follow the guide from their Github here https://github.com/goatpig/BitcoinArmory/blob/master/linuxbuild/Linux_build_notes.md
Just take note of the version on the commands so replace it with the latest firmware version.

1. What version of Debian?

2. Do *NOT* run Armory with root privileges. You should not run it with sudo. Just dont.

3. What version of python is installed on your system?

Thank you very much BitMaxz! Did reinstall armory according to the description on github. Now everything is running smoothly and I don't have to run armory as root. Thank you Goatpig for the advice! I have Debian Buster 10.11 installed.
