Okay  did the armory settings part and added ManageSatoshi set to false.
I also pointed to the external hard drive for both Armory and bitcoin in the command line with this command
armory --satoshi-datadir="/media/bob/Backup Plus/bitcoin" --datadir="/media/bob/Backup Plus/Armory"

And have drastically reduced the errors but I am still not spawning the app.  Here is the error message.  Any ideas?
