Lemme see your log files, maybe there is a clue there.

I can post them. Just downloaded, checked and ran the installer for 0.94.0.1, updating now. I'll post logfile for this session if the notification pops up.

lol also my mistake. he says this happens reliably after Armory is shut down

Correct, I've also seen that behavior (right after shutdown)

EDIT: great, lol, I'm exhausting my RAM on purpose (Armory + Chrome with 30+ tabs open) and the error isn't appearing. I guess I'll see tomorrow with a longer sync.

I get this message all the time since I started using Armory, about a year ago if I'm not mistaken, with every version released. I only need Chrome + bitcoind + Armory running to top up 2GB of RAM Wink

You're most likely low on resources at the exact moment the error occurs. Armory reconnects right after (never seen it take more than a couple of minutes to reconnect).

Finally managed to get my machine properly synced after updating, took around 3 hours to rebuild the new database, I think. I am yet to update to the versions that re-enables auto bitcoind management. Migration was fairly smooth after moving my wallet files to the new datadir. Old database was 60,2 GB. New is 141 MB. This in itself only is worth the upgrade and database rebuild!

I get the following on the task bar after closing Armory in all my W7 machines. I started noticing it since 0.93 (or perhaps even the one before that). The notification bubble fades and eventually disappears as expected but the Armory icon lingers and would only disappear with a mouse pointer hover. No biggie really but I guess I was hoping they'd go away in 0.94:

@visdude Can I take it that Armory re-connects with Bitcoin fairly quickly afterwards? I get this type of behaviour occasionally also, I attributed it to my machine being a bit over-worked. Are you maxing out or heavily using your CPU when this occurs?

Armory connects with Core almost instantaneously each time I start it (after Core is synced and caught up). I make it a point to close Armory first before Core. It appears after the fact that Armory has already closed. Therefore, it doesn't make any sense considering the context of the notification...and of course, the lingering Armory task bar icon.

I don't think an overworked CPU is the cause as I run standalone full node/Armory on different W7 machines with pretty capable chips (dual, quad and octo cores and a Haswell machine) and they all get it. I haven't done anything different either when it started to appear; just installing updates as usual when a new release is out.

I didn't touch that code at all. Did you try addnode=127.0.0.1 in your bitcoin.conf?

It started to appear before 0.94 so it has nothing to do with the release. Again, no biggie as it does not affect the functionality of Armory. I was just wondering why it started to appear around the earlier iteration of 0.93 or possibly even much earlier in 0.92.3 (don't remember specifically).

I tried addnode=127.0.0.1 in bitcoin.conf but it did not fix it.

open terminal, type sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/armory_94.0_amd64.deb, hit return key

Yes. It should open up the Ubuntu software center and you should be able to install it from there.

OK. Thanks! I'll explore it later.

Pardon my Linux illiteracy but would the "armory_0.94.0_amd64.deb" release be compatible with Ubuntu and it's derivatives (specifically, LM Cinnamon)? If not, would there eventually be an Ubuntu release?

It should be compatible with ubuntu.

Do I just simply double-click on the .deb package to install it just like a tar.gz package?

There's still a "disable bittorrent download" setting in the GUI though; according to this, that shouldnt be needed any more:

Quote

- No more torrent code. Seedboxes were hosted by ATI and are now down. Also, IBD improvements in
Core 0.10-12 make this code obsolete.

I haven't cleaned the GUI. I got a PR to finish cleaning that up, that'll be in the next version most likely.

Great work. Thanks a lot!

Just upgraded from 0.93 to 0.94 on debian x64.

Super-smooth and easy.

My debian Jessie upgrade HowTo:
- rename .armory folder in home directory to .armory_0.93
- install armory 0.94 with gdebi
- start armory, re-do all configurations in the settings menu
- close armory
- copy *.wallet files from the old .armory_0.93-directory to the newly created .armory-dir
- that's it. Initial startup with DB-build and transaction scanning took ~10 minutes on a quadcore i3 Intel NUC

This eliminates my problem with the .deb installer on Qubes 3.0....

in ./dpkgfiles/postinst at line 55:

Code:

if os.path.exists('/usr/share/desktop-directories'):
   execAndWait('xdg-desktop-menu  install --novendor /usr/share/applications/armory.desktop')
   execAndWait('xdg-desktop-menu  install --novendor /usr/share/applications/armorytestnet.desktop')
   execAndWait('xdg-desktop-menu  install --novendor /usr/share/applications/armoryoffline.desktop')

in ./dpkgfiles/postrm at line 3:

Code:

if [ -d /usr/share/desktop-directories ] ; then
   xdg-desktop-menu  uninstall /usr/share/applications/armory.desktop
   xdg-desktop-menu  uninstall /usr/share/applications/armorytestnet.desktop
   xdg-desktop-menu  uninstall /usr/share/applications/armoryoffline.desktop
fi

Works with Qubes 3.0, Debian 8.3 VM, over 0.93.3 or 0.94.0. If anyone can test on baremetal (non-virtualised) Debian and derivatives, that'd be helpful. You may need the dh-make package.

ugh, I assumed postrm was a compiled binary, that will teach me to take the nautilus icon as any kind of information at all, other than a picture! Thanks again Joseph, really appreciated.
