Topic: Armory suddenly won't run (Read 749 times)

Thanks, I guess that was an obvious thing to try but I stupidly hadn't read the results carefully when doing it previously

I got this:


so after a quick google search, it was suggested that I "upgrade zope.interface to the latest version (with sudo pip install zope.interface --upgrade)", which I did, and now Armory is running again. I'm pretty sure this has something to do with the various python adjustments I had made in order to get Electrum working.

Thanks for the troubleshooting pointers   

Open Terminal. type "armory" and press return. Report any (or absence of) results.

yeah, when I click on the Armory icon nothing happens. Same for Armory, Armory(offline) and Armory(Test Network)

In what way does it not start? Does something pop up? Is there an error message? Does the window appear and then quickly disappear? Or does nothing happen when you try to start it?

don't I have to start up Armory to change those settings? I looked in the ArmorySettings.txt but couldn't find anything that might change Auto-management settings.

I also tried starting Armory with and without bitcoin-qt and bitcoind running.

Maybe have to reinstall, but it's really making me paranoid

Try running without Auto-management of bitcoind. In Armory settings. Launch BitcoinQt before running Armory once you change the setting.

I'm not sure how much the log file will help. It's not creating new entries when i try to run Armory. But in case it helps here are the most recent entries:

I had managed to get Armory 0.94.1 fully installed and running fine on Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS, and was about to open one of my old cold storage wallets, but now it won't start.

The only changes to my system have been basic Ubuntu updates and installing python pip and Electrum.

Has anyone had a similar problem? I would hate to have to uninstall and reinstall as it takes so long
