This is strange. If I use the shortcut I made to launch Armory, it doesn't work.

This is the error from the log:

Code:

   raise child_exception
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

However if I run the same command from the terminal, I have no problems whatsoever.

I am running Ubuntu 16.04. This is probably an issue with my system, but I think it is something to note.

Armory is trying to open ArmoryDB as a relative path. That only works if you are have used cd to enter the Armory source tree first. The solution is for Armory to use absolute paths, so people don't need to be in the same directory as Armory to run it.

So this update breaks shortcuts right now. That is a bit of an issue.

It breaks shortcuts or any use case where someone is trying to run Armory from somewhere other than the Armory source tree. So if they are above a level and try to run "python BitcoinArmory/ArmoryQt.py" that should fail too.

A solution is to modify self.dbExecutable in SDM.py to be prepended by the following path.

Code:

path = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
self.dbExecutable = os.path.join(path, 'ArmoryDB')
if OS_WINDOWS:
# add .exe to self.dbExecutable
