Done.  Tried to delete this original post so it doesn't clutter up the board, but the forum won't let me  Sad

They should be in home/.armory

They may well have been updated by Armory even though it seemingly failed to do anything, run armory and then posts those logs.

Yes, condense your post. The magic Elves on here have limited time and dont read novels Wink Condense your post to a few questions and post those logs Smiley

Apologies for posting the novel, and thanks for the heads up (pls let me know if you think reposting a shorter version of my problem would help.)

I'm running into an issue with obtaining the error logs on the AG machine, as the offline Armory wallet will no longer start up since I tried to update it to Armory 0.93.3.  I'm looking around Ubuntu for them, but I'm a Windows user, and nothing in the Ubuntu file system looks familiar to me.  Any advice on how I can access those error logs when the Armory wallet won't load?

If you simplify your post down to a few lines, and include your error logs for your AG machine someone will help Smiley

So back in 2014 following the Mt. Gox disaster, I used Armory to create an offline wallet on an air-gapped computer, and set up a watch-only wallet on my Internet connected computer.  The original install wallet was Armory 0.90 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on my air-gapped computer as well as my Internet connected computer.  However, over the years I was forced to upgrade my watch-only wallet on different Internet connected computers to Armory 0.93.2 in order to keep track of my bitcoins.

So I recently acquired a KeepKey, and today I fired up the air-gapped computer today to sign some offline transactions and transfer my bitcoin over to the Keepkey so that I can import the private keys from the Armory wallet into a Bitcoin Cash/BCash/BCH wallet and access those coins without risking my bitcoins.  However, I ran into some issues, as Armory 0.90 was unable to sign the transactions created by Armory 0.93.2 (to be clear, I was able to fire up Armory 0.90 on the air-gapped computer and import a transaction created by Armory 0.93.2 on the Internet connected computer, only to have Armory 0.90 be unable to sign that transaction.)  I thought the easy solution would be to update the Armory version on the air-gapped computer to Armory 0.93.3 for Ubuntu 12.04+ (32bit) - the earliest version of the Armory software available on their website - but ran into a "dependency is not satisfiable: python-qt4" error.

What's more concerning is that now, following my attempt to upgrade the Armory software on the air-gapped computer, I can't get the Armory wallet on the air-gapped computer to start up anymore, and the Ubuntu Software Center history on my air-gapped computer lists the following files as "removed":

libqt4-test (4.8.1-Oubuntu4.4)
libqt4-help (4.8.1-0ubuntu4.4)
python-qt4 (4.9.1-2ubuntu1)
libqt4-designer (4.8.1-0ubuntu4.4)
armory (0.90-1)
libqt4-scripttools (4.8.1-0ubuntu4.4)

I still have the seed for my Armory wallet in a safe deposit box, but I was hoping to be able to transfer the bitcoins out of the Armory wallet and to the KeepKey wallet by signing transactions via the air-gapped computer (as well as access the Armory wallet private keys on that air-gapped computer wallet to access my Bitcoin Cash/BCash/BCH).

I was hoping I could get some advice from this forum on the safest way to get my bitcoins from the Armory wallet and to the KeepKey, which is the #1 priority.  If that enables me to access my BCH, that would be great too.  

Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to help me out.
