I can sometimes send a small .5 or so, but anything larger I get "conection lost'' .The Ubantu I then updated from 12.04 to 14.04, Armory to the latest and bitcoin client to newest extracted using armory client.....I still get "conection lost" I created a ticket, waiting to hear back.In the mean time, anyone have an idea of what to try next?
It sounds like your blockchain is not synchronized. You are attempting to send coins that are already spent, and thus the local Bitcoin Core instance is disconnecting you for broadcasting invalid transactions. First thing is to make sure that the block count in the bottom-right corner of the Armory window matches the top block on blockchain.info.
