Any help or pointers would be most appreciated!
The pointers should be in the logs like goatpig requested in the previous replies."armorycpplog.txt" is in Armory's datadir; default paths: btcarmory.com/docs/pathing#armorydb

Hi,
I am experiencing a similar problem: Armory hangs apparently endlessly in the "organizing blockchain"
stage, and never completes despite being run all day.
I am running BitcoinCore 0.21.1 and Armory 0.96.5.
This combination worked fine for me previously, but now something somewhere must have changed.
(I am thinking maybe from sudo apt-get update and upgrade etc.)
The only new clue (perhaps) as to what has changed is I get a new error message when I try
to quit the hung instance of Armory. This new error message says:
"ArmoryQt.py is not responding"
Any help or pointers would be most appreciated!
Thanks much,
Cobbler7

Just to say this worked, and everything is good now. Thanks a lot for your help.

OK. Have deleted (actually moved) contents of .bitcoin folder - assuming will all be recreated when restart bitcoin-qt. Rebuilding now and looks like it's going ok.
Thanks a lot for your help.

I have deleted contents of .armory/databases/, and restarted Armory. Currently "organizing blockchain" as before.
The armorycpplog.txt is here: http://pastebin.com/ruuVVeNK.

Again these log lines are irrelevant. You should clean up your armorycpplog.txt or all personal info and pastebin it so I can look at it. In the mean time, delete the content of Armory's database folder and try again.

Thanks. Have done as you said:
(Noticed this in log, fwiw):
2016-02-14 16:38 (ERROR) -- ArmoryQt.py:1323 - 8 attempts to load blockchain failed. Remove mempool.bin.
2016-02-14 16:38 (ERROR) -- ArmoryQt.py:1328 - File mempool.bin does not exist. Nothing deleted.
- Started Bitcoin-qt directly
- Blockchain seemed synced, looking at the block height and activity.
- Started Armory first in offline mode, and unchecked box to stop Armory managing bitcoind
- Shutdown and restarted Armory in normal mode (leaving bitcoin-qt running). Now only 2 progress bars rather than 3
- Result appears the same - hanging on "Organizing Blockchain" - though so far it's only been 20 min
- Stuff in logs appears same as before, to my inexpert eye

None of these lines are relevant to your issue. You should start BitcoinQt manually and let it fully sync. In Armory, turn off auto bitcoind management then start it after BitcoinQt. Report what happens here.

I'm trying to install Armory in Ubuntu 15.04, using the version at https://github.com/goatpig/BitcoinArmory/releases/tag/v0.93.3. I have a few wallets already, from an installation on a laptop I had stolen. So I'm trying to get these coins back.
Dashboard shows "Synchronizing with Network" complete. It has finished "reading block headers", but now hangs on Organizing Blockchain. It's been that way for maybe 18h overall (with a couple of attempted restarts in between).
Might be relevant: I tried to give the new install a headstart by copying over some of the database files from a backup I had of the old installation (and also to the .bitcoin installation).
Also: when I quit, it hangs on "Preparing to shut down", and I have to quit again. When that happens I get the following repeated many times in .armory/armorylog.txt:
2016-02-14 09:52 (WARNING) -- SDM.py:768 - Overriding not-available state. This should happen 0-5 times
Heres the cpplog.txt after re-starting, up to present moment where it hangs.
