I'm sorry if I have come across as pushy. That was never the intention; I know the time of any developer is precious, so I would not want to hoard on it. While, of course, wanting to reach a personal goal of running the newest version of Armory on my old computer, I genuinely hoped that if this might be a bug, I would be of help in solving it.

It was not my intent to sound exasperated. By our standards, this is a bug, but most likely one in CryptoPP, which is unmaintained for a while now.

The reality of this bug is that first of all to fix it I'd probably need to look at the code behavior with your CPU directly. The kind of remote debugging that was practiced in this thread is only good at identifying issues. Unless I have a very good hunch as to what is the underlying cause (usually I do if it's my own code), I can't fix this stuff without experiencing it first hand. Turns out this is probably a CryptoPP issue, so short of having a machine like yours, I'll have a terrible time finding a fix.

The other part is that CryptoPP is a library we piggy back on. Seeing it's crypto, we are very cautious about modifying anything in there. Usually we would try to narrow down the issue and report it to the official maintainer, but that's not an option anymore. We'd have to weight the cost of finding the issue (which possibly requires for someone to get very familiar with this library) and coming up with a as small as possible fix against the reward and the risk of modifying our crypto lib. Simply put, even if we had a fix, we may not implement it.

The future isn't so dark however. As Core is planning to drop OpenSSL, we too plan on ditching CryptoPP and rely on the libraries Core are replacing OpenSSL with, one of which is Sipa's secp256k1 library. So it's possible that this bug will entirely go away in the future.

There is also a plan to come up with lighter builds for some targeted versions such as purely offline Armory and Litenode. Getting rid of the need for C++11 in the offline bundle may very well be one of our goals as it is painful to maintain older OS compatibility otherwise, which is a desirable for our offline package.

I didn't have success in setting up clang, so I will be running the provided 0.92.3 offline bundle with Ubuntu 12.04 on my cold storage machine. Thank you to anyone who have helped out in this thread. I am very grateful for that.

I think the later 92.x releases use the newest transaction file format, Armory devs will know the full details on that sort of thing. So you're not missing much in the difference between 0.92.3 and 93.2 (no deterministic signing, for instance).

For offline machines, yes, this is basically correct. There is a bug (fixed in 0.93.2, IIRC) that does affect signatures and has a 1-in-256 chance of being triggered. That could be a problem depending on luck and how often transactions will be signed. (Then again, the bug may have been introduced in 0.93! I forget exactly where all the code was introduced.)

Then it's possibly GCC's C++11 implementation that has some forward compatibility issues. Either try clang or take it easy and just rely on 0.92

The version of gcc you use does not support C++11.

Try clang or build an earlier version, like 0.92. You can pull the tag v0.92.3 and build that.

Ok, I tried building 0.92.3 and it worked flawlessly. I was able to create a new wallet without problems.

So I decided to take it a step further. Since this is Ubuntu 12.04, I do indeed have an old gcc version, so I upgraded it to gcc 4.8 (which has C++11 support) and was successfully able to build Armory 0.93.2. However, it crashes at the exact same point that the offline bundle version does:

Then, I built 0.93.2 again, this time with "make DEBUG=1" like you suggested. I deleted the entire Armory directory in before, and did a new git clone, just to be sure nothing was left from the old build. Still the same, though:

To make the .deb, try this script:

https://github.com/etotheipi/BitcoinArmory/blob/v0.92.3/dpkgfiles/make_deb_package.py

I'm not all that familiar with it but this is what etotheipi used to build 0.92 at least.

Thanks! I'll give it a shot once I compile a version that can create a new wallet Smiley

That script also requires some extra attention if you want to create an offline bundle. This link (WARNING: Massive amounts of techno-babble) and some follow-up posts roughly describe the process for building offline bundles.

It seems like the offline bundle is for Ubuntu 12.04 (exact), which is a 4½ years old release. Are there any plans to do offline bundles for newer Ubuntus like 15.04, or perhaps just the latest LTS 14.04?

I know 12.04 is still maintained, but that doesn't really matter much on a machine that never connects to the internet anyway -- and building a new cold storage, I would naturally go for a newer release, not download a release from 2012. But perhaps that's just me :-)

You could just compile your own. It's not that hard: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/tutorial-compiling-armory-and-getting-it-onto-an-offline-computer-1156924  Smiley

The version of gcc you use does not support C++11.

Try clang or build an earlier version, like 0.92. You can pull the tag v0.92.3 and build that.

To make the .deb, try this script:

I'm thinking the CPU is old enough it could be missing some enhanced instruction sets. The easiest way to verify this would be to build from source straight on the faulty machine. If you dont want to build straight from your to be offline signer, build from source on your other machine in this fashion:

Code:
make DEBUG=1

The debug build should turn off all compiler and linker optimization, which may be just what you need to fix this.

FYI, An OS reinstallation, forced on a different physical part of the HDD (with partitions) didn't help, and neither did an "apt-get upgrade". Yes, in my attempts to get Armory working, the machine is not offline anymore, but it will of course be completely reformatted and reinstalled without any network once things work.

So, I tend to think you're right in your theory about missing instruction sets in this indeed very old CPU.

I will try compiling myself; that seems not too hard. And I can do it on the machine itself, since I will not be using the current OS installation for cold storage anyway.

Only question regarding compiling: Is there an easy way to compile to a ready deb file that I can use together with the rest of the offline bundle once I reinstalled the system without network? Otherwise I reckon I can just git clone, compile, tar.gz the whole dir and put it on USB, reformat/install OS, and install the compiled dir on the offline system.


Edit: Compiling stops quite quickly:

Code:

That's the first time I see it choke like this. I have little to help you with without a backtrace. Do you have another machine you can create a mock wallet on? Same software, different hardware kinda test.

Both yes and no. I have another laptop of much newer date, but unfortunately no spare HDD to use for this test. So what I did instead was to boot off the exact same usb stick that I had used to install Ubuntu on the older machine. So booted it in live mode, installed the same offline bundle, and lo and behold: no problems whatsoever; wallet created successfully.

So, I made a software backup (unencrypted) onto another USB stick and put it in the older machine, and imported it into Armory there. No troubles. So I selected the option to encrypt the newly imported wallet. It let me type in a new password the usual three times, and when I clicked Next after the third time, Armory crashed again.

I don't know whether this means some of the old machine's hardware might be faulty, or whether the newer machine wasn't really qualified in that it didn't have Ubuntu installed on a HDD in the same sense that the old machine does, but rather as a live usb stick. I think I'll try reinstalling Ubuntu on the older machine, perhaps tinkering a bit with harddrive partitions in order to force files being placed on other physical sectors than what is the case now.

The output from the crash when encrypting the imported wallet was:

OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/thomas/.bitcoin/'

It failed here and halted the entire process of discovering system specs. Start in offline mode or create that folder.

Thank you. I do start in offline mode, though, with the --offline flag. Creating that directory did seem to correct the detected system specs, but Armory still crashes when I try to create a new wallet. More specifically it does so when I have typed the password for the third time and click "Next".

It failed here and halted the entire process of discovering system specs. Start in offline mode or create that folder.

I'm not aware of any such plans at the moment. That said, we are working on a setup that should make it easier to support multiple offline bundles. No promises but hopefully the stuff we're working on will make bundle support much easier.

Sounds great! If that new setup doesn't make it in time, I hope that at least a 14.04 offline bundle will be considered for Armory 0.94.

Trying out the 32 bit offline bundle of Armory 0.93.2 on a freshly installed Ubuntu 12.04.5 (32 bit) on an old IBM laptop, it installed fine. However, every time I try to create a new wallet, I consistenly get an "Illegal instruction (core dumped)" error and Armory crashes. Armory reports the following:

Notice, though, how RAM and CPU cores (and a few others) are reported as a negative number. The computer's actual specs are low, but not negative Smiley
Is the computer too underspec'ed to run Armory offline? That would seem a bit strange, though, since I've been running it on a Raspberry Pi 1 (with 512 MB RAM).

It seems like the offline bundle is for Ubuntu 12.04 (exact), which is a 4½ years old release. Are there any plans to do offline bundles for newer Ubuntus like 15.04, or perhaps just the latest LTS 14.04?

I know 12.04 is still maintained, but that doesn't really matter much on a machine that never connects to the internet anyway -- and building a new cold storage, I would naturally go for a newer release, not download a release from 2012. But perhaps that's just me :-)
