Carlton,
Thank you for your post.

Sorry I forgot to mention I already installed the needed Python dependency for my Mint install. The code below shows my version check on my laptop running Linux Mint.  In short, it is the same version of Python  I'm running on my Ubuntu setup:

Code:
pc1@pc:~$ /usr/bin/python --version
Python 2.7.15+
pc1@pc:~$

Nevertheless, I tried to find the ArmoryQT.py using the "locate" command in the terminal. I got no hits.

The text below is copied from my /usr/bin folder location in my Mint setup. It shows armory files installed:

Code:
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root         133 Dec 23  2018  armory*
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root     4139592 Dec 23  2018  ArmoryDB*

My Home .armory folder location in my Mint setup is empty. Including the "database" folder:

Code:
pc1@pc:~/.armory$ ll
total 12
drwxrwxr-x  3 onlinem90 onlinem90 4096 Nov  9 22:55 ./
drwxr-xr-x 24 onlinem90 onlinem90 4096 Nov 12  2019 ../
drwxrwxr-x  2 onlinem90 onlinem90 4096 Nov  9 22:55 databases/
pc1@pc:~/.armory$

My question to anybody in the community. In the Windows world you have an Executable (exe) file which launches the app. In the Linux world what is the EXE file for Armory?  I would  like to know so I can try launching Armory directly from the terminal. I tried typing "armory" in the terminal and this did not launch the app. The code below shows the result I got:

Code:
pc1@pc:~/.armory$ cd /
pc1@pc:/$ armory
/home/pc1
Illegal instruction (core dumped)
pc1@pc:/$

Any advice that will be greatly appreciated that can help me figure out why my Armory setup in Mint laptop setup does not launch but works perfectly on my desktop Ubuntu setup.  Thanks in advance.
