That does not work, the installed version crashes (did that in my first post, for v0.96.3 branch and testing branch). Or maybe I did something wrong or got confused.
You'd want to do that on the binaries you built from source.

Just use the noasm builds. If you're looking to update, you'll need a stronger CPU anyways (seeing you're going online with this machine), blockchain ain't getting smaller! But I digress. Generally, laptop CPUs have much less silicon to save on power, so only mid-high end laptop CPUs will have all the good stuff. Desktop CPUs are different, basically any i3 from 2010 will have all that you need.
Got it. Thanks

You can 'sudo make install' after building from source.

Thanks for the explanation. Do you have a recommended list of proccessors? (so I can buy one that will work well next time)

Perhaps "not installed" would be a more appropriate phrasing. Basically, running Armory by doing:

It's more than just SSE4, there's also pclmul and AES. Also washed down iteration, such as SSE4.a won't cut it.

What is an "uncompiled" version? The fix to this is to build yourself from source, or use the noasm .deb (https://github.com/goatpig/BitcoinArmory/releases/download/v0.96.3.99/armory_0.96.3.99-gcc4.7-noasm_amd64.deb)

Code:
python ArmoryQt.py
Btw, noasm works great!

This means you need to delete .lmdb mirror wallets in your Armory datadir.
I am not seeing this error any more. This tip will be helpful if it comes up again.
Thank you so much for clearing this up.

I read some threads in this forum and it was mentioned that my CPU might not support SSE4, but it is a Celeron J3455 which supports SSE4.

But I'd like to not have to run the uncompiled version all the time. Any help to resolve this will be appreciated. Thanks.

After trying a few more times, Armory managed to unfreeze itself, going unresponsive for long stretches of time, but I managed to create a new wallet. Restoring the old wallet worked too, though it shows a zero balance. I then restarted armory using the compiled version, but it failed:
Starting again using uncompiled version, finally scanning transactions history, with thousands of the following error:
High hopes that it will finally work after it finishes scanning.

Update:
Running Armory uncompiled results in something slightly different:
At wallet creation, instead of crashing, it freezes. Progress.
I hit CTRL-C
Btw, noticed a typo in that dialog: "No one can help you recover you bitcoins if you forget the passphrase and don't have a paper backup!"

I tried Armory 0.96.3 Ubuntu/Debian 64-bit with GCC 5.4 but it would not start at all:
Armory 0.96.3 Ubuntu/Debian 64-bit with GCC 4.7 starts but crashes when restoring from paper backup.
I then built from source, v0.96.3, same thing, crashes when restoring from unencrypted paper backup.
I read some threads in this forum and it was mentioned that my CPU might not support SSE4, but it is a Celeron J3455 which supports SSE4.
Then, I tried the testing branch, same results.
The wallet I was trying to restore was created a while ago using Armory 0.93.3 (really old, before btcarmory).
For good measure, I tried to create a new wallet on the testing branch installation. Crashes.
Ideas?
