Cannot start Armory on Linux Debian, stuck on "Preparing Databases"

But is it just me? I can't believe I'm having this weird errors, I don't have any strange configuration, I'm just trying to run "normally" armory on Debian... is it such an unpopular thing?

You are getting outright crashes, you should build the binaries against your actual hardware, that would at least isolate the issue somewhat. If it persist, you can then debug build and show me the traceback of the actual crash.

I've deleted again the "databases" folder, and now I'm running ArmoryDB again.

There is an update. I think either some corruption of the database or a bug in the build.

I gave another try. This time I did not start bitcoind, and I also closed all other applications running. So I run ArmoryDB (with no options) and on the terminal I see this:

Code:

gaglia@myhost:~$ ArmoryDB

At that point I start armory (again, with no bitcoind), and after some time I see that it connects to ArmoryDB, which starts scanning blocks until after a few minutes it crashes with an error:

Code:

-INFO - 13:56:06: (BDM_Server.cpp:1074) registered bdv: de33372f76586bce256e

gaglia@myhost:~$

When this happens, the Armory window is at 99% of "Scanning Transaction History". At the same time, the armory terminal window shows this:

Code:

gaglia@myhost:~$ armory
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
/home/gaglia

-ERROR - 14:33:38: (StringSockets.cpp:351) FcgiSocket::writeAndRead FcgiError: unexpected fcgi header version

What I tried to do at this point is, instead of closing armory, I left the wondow open and tried to run again ArmoryDB, but then armory crashes:

Code:

(ERROR) ArmoryQt.py:1199 - File mempool.bin does not exist. Nothing deleted.

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'DbErrorMsg'

gaglia@myhost:~$

Any idea? I'd rather prefer to not build my own armory if not strictly necessary.

But is it just me? I can't believe I'm having this weird errors, I don't have any strange configuration, I'm just trying to run "normally" armory on Debian... is it such an unpopular thing?

Nope, that's the 0.96.0.4 build from your github Sad

Try with your own build.

I don't think it's a blockchain problem, bitcoin core works fine...

What's going on here? Sad thanks in advance again for any help!

No idea. Are you building the binaries yourself?

OK, I did as requested, just I noticed that I left enabled the "allow armory to run its own bitcoind process" enabled. Let me know if it's critical and I should try again without. Anyway, here's what happens:

I delete (move) the "databases" dir and the old logs.

I launch "ArmoryDB --db-type=DB_BARE" from a shell (bitcoind not running). I see a lot of lines like "-INFO - 20:05:31: (DatabaseBuilder.cpp:272) parsed block file #843" and after some time it finishes:

Code:

After a couple of minutes I open another terminal and run armory. The GUI starts, but it's stuck at 0% of "Scanning Transaction History". After a few seconds, the ArmoryDB process exits:

Code:

-INFO - 20:18:57: (DatabaseBuilder.cpp:75) updated HEADERS db in 5943s

Killed
gaglia@myhost:~$

On the armory side nothing changed: the GUI is still stuck with the bar at 0%. The terminal window says:

Code:

gaglia@myhost:~$ armory
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

-ERROR - 20:26:47: (StringSockets.cpp:351) FcgiSocket::writeAndRead FcgiError: unexpected fcgi header version

Then I close the armory window. Here is what happens on terminal:

Code:

File "/usr/bin/../lib/armory/ArmoryQt.py", line 5950, in
os._exit(QAPP.exec_())
File "/usr/bin/../lib/armory/ArmoryQt.py", line 5426, in closeForReal

Notice that the bitcoin daemon is still running, and I have to kill it:

Code:

root@myhost:/home/gaglia# pgrep bitcoind
6197

The dbLog.txt doesn't show anything more than what I reported, up to the "killed" line. Here is the armorylog.txt :

This these instructions.

Those instructions refer to windows but OK, I'll try those on Debian. I removed (renamed) the /home/gaglia/.armory/databases directory and (with no bitcoind running) I started "ArmoryDB --db-type=DB_BARE" from a shell. This is what I see:

Code:

gaglia@myhost:~$ ArmoryDB --db-type=DB_BARE
/home/gaglia
/home/gaglia
/home/gaglia/.armory/databases is not a valid path

-INFO - 18:39:54: (DatabaseBuilder.cpp:70) updating HEADERS db

As far as I understand I should see "enabling zero conf parsing" at some point. I'll wait for that for a couple of hours. Then (or anyway in a couple of hours) I will launch Armory without closing the window and see what happens.

Thanks for the help

Nothing changed, it just runs fine until 99% of "Scanning Transaction History", and then it gets stuck. Also bottom right corner of the windows is always a red "offline". I do not have any strange firewall rules preventing connection as far as I know.

I'd really appreciate any help Sad

I've noticed something interesting.

I stopped armory and let it run again. What happens, again, is that everything seems to work fine up to 99% of "Scanning Transaction History" (1 sec left). Then everything gets stuck and I see this error message from the command line:

Code:

(python2:24260): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_progress_configure: assertion 'value >= min && value <= max' failed
-ERROR - 10:51:19: (StringSockets.cpp:351) FcgiSocket::writeAndRead FcgiError: unexpected fcgi header version

I'm still keeping it running in this state for a while. In the meantime, here are the last few lines of this huge dbLog.txt - the thing I noticed is that the timestamp of the last few lines of the log, where the ERROR appears, coincide with the ERROR line above:

Code:

Nothing, I still cannot make Armory work, any help is appreciated to understand what's happening here Sad

I've let Armory run overnight but it was always stuck at 99% of "Scanning Transaction History" when I woke up.

When I closed it, I noticed this from the command line:

Code:

gaglia@mydomain:~$ armory

This was with the "allow armory to run bitcoind in the background" option enabled. However, when I closed Armory, apparently it failed to close bitcoind, so I had to kill bitcoind manually.

Here is the armorylog.txt between the start and the end of the last run (the dbLog.tst file is over 600 MiB in size, is it normal?)

Wait, something is happening... the "Scanning Transaction History" bar has completed, just it's stuck at 99% with "1 second" time remaining... I'll give it some more time to run and see what happens, will keep you updated

Can you post the armorylog.txt and dbLog.tst files from after you run it again and see the problem?

Thanks for the clarification

However, I still cannot manage to make Armory work. It happened only once, and I have no idea for which reasons, that the progress bar for "building database" moved, however after that it remained offline. Now, regardless of what I do, every time I open Armory (Online or Offline, with or without Bitcoin-QT running, with or without "allow Armory to run bicoind" enabled), the two progress bars remain stuck at 0%.

If I try to first run Bitcoin-QT (and wait that it's synced) and then after that I concurrently run Armory (Online) from a terminal window I see this:

It predicts a few hours until the end of "Building Databases", although I'm not sure what this means... what databases is Armory building? Doesn't it use the same blockchain as in the .bitcoin directory?

Yes it uses the same blockchain, but the blockchain is not the database. The blockchain is just a bunch of data which has to be interpreted. In order to know where blocks and transactions are in the blockchain, Armory and Core must build separate (they can't share databases) databases to keep track of where everything is in the blockchain.

Some updates: I realized I was still running an old version of Debian, forgot to update to the new stable... So I did the update, and consequently all the libraries needed for the GCC 5.3 version were also updated. However: the latest build you mentioned, achow101 does not ship with icons and integration in the Gnome menu. Anyway, at least the 0.96.0 version with GCC 5.3 (default download from Armory website) seems to work now, or at least it's not stuck at 0% anymore. It predicts a few hours until the end of "Building Databases", although I'm not sure what this means... what databases is Armory building? Doesn't it use the same blockchain as in the .bitcoin directory?

I'm not marking this as solved yet, need to see if it completes successfully...
