Finally  After the purchase a newer machine Armory is running but it is online

Unbuntu 18.4
I use an external drive for both bitcoin and Armory folders although the apps are installed on the desktop.
I am manually running bitcoin-qt   (happy to change if you suggest.)
In Armory settings (GUI) I was able to point to the bitcoin blocks database on the external drive.
I was unable to point to armory databases to the external drive from the GUI so I attempt to do it with the terminal command.

armory --datadir="/media/bob/Backup Plus/Armory"

Things I have checked.
Bitcoin core is up to date and synced.
Bitcoin core is not pruning.
Current version of Armory is running.

Armory log.

Let me know if you have any ideas?

Where does one find the NOASM version?

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?

Gtk-Message: 09:45:58.533: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

  def PyCreateAndSignTx_old(srcTxOuts, dstAddrsVals):

In Armory?  The app never loads.  It aborts within seconds.   Any other ideas?

I just installed it from terminal and it got me past that step.  Thanks.

bitcoin qt is running and I launch armory from terminal at get this error.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

When running Armory for the first time I got the above message.   Is this a problem?

Thanks for that explanation.  I have Ubuntu 18.4.  So which one?

Not sure what GCC is.  How do I figure out which one to download?

So I bit the bullet and gave up on Armory working on Mac.  I bought my ubuntu machine.  Found the external drive. (The one I used to use on Mac.)

but could not Write to the bitcoin directory and I am sure the Armory directory when I get to it.  I still have access to the Mac.

Is it safe to just change the permissions on the bitcoin and armory directory to 666?

Or is there a way to change the owner of the file on the Mac so the Ubuntu user can set it to what ever it needs to be? And what should it be?

Should I just buy another harddrive and copy the blockchain across, how do I do that to have the ubuntu user as the owner of the new files and hard disk?

Or download the whole blockchain again?  (please no)

What is quickest for a tech struggler like me?

Thanks in advance.

If you are like me and read this and your heart sank.  Another thread suggest downloading virtual box and running Ubuntu on a Mac Virtual machine.  It looks easy enough.   I am about to try it now.

I am following this videos advice.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJcc-xC6krE

Is there anything I can do to avoid this?   And what does it actually mean?

I got it working.. Thanks to all who helped.   

So I installed OpenSSL and opened armory. And for the first time it opened.  It said it was creating databases.  But I needed to point to my external drive to get my watching only wallets.  The GUI in preferences would not allow me to do it so I closed it down and tried to do it from the terminal.

I typed this which created a short cut.

ln -s /Volumes/Untitled/Applications/Armory/ ./Armory

Then I tried to launch armory again and it crashed on startup.

I deleted the shortcut.  It crashed again.

I tried to run from the terminal as I thought that is what you would ask and got this error message

./Armory --datadir=/Volumes/Untitled/Applications/Armory --satoshi-datadir=/Volumes/Untitled/Applications/Bitcoin
(ERROR) ArmoryUtils.py:3735 - Unsupported language  specified. Defaulting to English (en)
(ERROR) ArmoryQt.py:5975 - Socket already in use.  Sent CLI args to existing proc.
(ERROR) ArmoryQt.py:5976 - Exiting...

This is what I get.

dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib
  Referenced from: /Users/username/Applications/Armory.app/Contents/MacOS/Python
  Reason: image not found

Also can you provide me with instructions on retrieving logs please?

Are you able to help please?

Thank you for your help.

bitcoin core updated.
Mac Book Pro 2013
Mac OS 10.13.6

Hi,

Trying to run Armory 0.96.5
Bitcoin core 0.16.0

on a Mac OSX 10.13.6 .  (16gb of RAM)

Core is working fine and blocks synced.

On Armory startup it crashes immediately and the dialogue says to update everything (done that) and then contact the developer.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks goatpig.    I will do the .93 trx first then try to get .951 cranking later.
