You need to check out v0.96.5. v0.96 is old and has quite a few bugs. I've updated the doc in the meantime but I don't know when the PR will be pulled. Probably sometime before 0.97 is released.

Yes I have updated my fragmented backups so the bug isn't present anymore

I figured out the problem, I failed to read the instructions below carefully.

"At this point, you may want to check the authenticity of the source code, as stated above. You can do that by typing the following (replacing 0.93.1 with the latest Armory version):"

$ git checkout v0.96
$ git tag -v v0.96

I did not replace the gitcheckout command v0.96 with the current version v0.96.5, this caused Qstring error to occur while trying to run Armory.

Just confirming, you're on 0.96.5, correct? Either way, can you post logs?

Also, are you familiar with the changes in fragmented backups made in 0.96.3? Just confirming.

Thanks.

I’m trying to run armory on tails for offline cold storage/offline signing of transactions from cold storage. I’ve followed the instructions here

https://github.com/goatpig/BitcoinArmory/blob/master/linuxbuild/Linux_build_notes.md

Armory seems to install fine I launch it with python ArmoryQt.py --offline the applications starts. The problem happens when I try to restore my wallet using my fragments. I type in all three fragments information but the button to restore the wallet never turns active for me to press it. I’ve tried reinstalling Armory many times but the same problem continues to happen. I’m not able to recreate my wallet using my 3 of 5 fragments. Thanks for all you guys do here been using Armory for years first time I've had to write a post on the forum.
