that command returns:

Code:

python /usr/share/armory/ArmoryQt.py %s

here is a pastebin of my --debug log (once it made it past splash screen and I set up a wallet, but it could not leave offline mode and twice it did not make it past splash screen)

~~python /usr/share/armory/ArmoryQt.py %s~~

Edit: Damnit, that is of course not a pastebin link, this is what happens when VM and native OS use different copy/paste shortcuts and you use both OSs at the same time early in the morning without checking your work quickly.
Will be able to provide tonight when I am home from work

OK so I am having some difficulty again getting the latest testing branch (0.89.99.6 I believe) to run on Ubuntu 13.10 VM...

I can't actually get past the splash "Armory" splash screen, and I don't think I am throwing any errors, so a bit stuck here... http://imgur.com/CAQNyaD

Here is my logfile http://pastebin.com/hPVigcDn which I don't see anything wrong with. If anyone could offer me some info on how to troubleshoot this I would appreciate it.

Thanks.

Oh, I didn't even look at the log file before responding. It looks like maybe there's some kind of interactive message that is blocking on the gconftool command (which is used for setting up Armory as your default URI handler). I wonder if that's it.

Can you open a terminal and run the following command and tell me what it spits out?

Code:

gconftool-2 --get /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/bitcoin/command

Quick update on my attempts: Got the latest testing branch 0.89.99.6, and also boosted the ulimit on files to 4096 (from 1024). This time I got much further in the database rebuild (to the 48th block file), but it eventually fell over with a "Bus Error" (OS error, not a Python Exception). Trying to restart now without the --rebuild option and it seems to have continued from where it left off, so hopefully after a couple of attempts I'll get fully synced!

@etotheipi: Let me know if you want me to e-mail you any cores or logs?

Thanks.

Okay, I just ran into a problem on windows that wheeler originally observed. Luckily, this one is isolated, so I should be able to catch it easily. It causes the "cannot get tx copy" message. I thought it was a DB-corruption issue, but instead it looks like it has to do with orphan blocks in the block files under certain conditions.

For me, it keeps triggering at the same block, so I should have no problem isolating it.

One day, this stuff will work...

Thanks, will give this a try tonight. FWIW, the last run (not your latest code) failed due to exhausting file handles. lsof lists lots of ~/.armory/databases/leveldb_blkdata/*.sst files open.

If the problem isn't the code, you can always increase the max # of files open, that's a pretty common problem.

A first quick test seems to work. Because it is not my computer I can't do more tests... to bad...

@pvz and @wheeler:

I just ran into the segfault issue when using --rebuild. It turns out that i screwed up some pointer cleanup, and that was causing the segfaults. Luckily, the last update was so tiny that it was obvious what did it! I just fixed it and committed it. Please do a "git pull origin testing" and then try the --rebuild again.

It might also have been responsible for the other issues you observed, though I won't be sure until you try it.

Are you running a 32-bit OS?

Yes:
Ubuntu 12.04 (precise) 32-bit
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5000+ × 2
2GB RAM

Will look further tomorrow (on London time here Wink

)

Thanks for your help so far!

--rebuild does not work.
Deleted .armory directory, started armory again (latest testing branch from a few minutes ago) with this result:

This looks eerily similar to teh guy that just posted here:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/retrieve-private-keys-for-online-generated-address-316312

Just to update on progress from that thread...

The --rebuild progressed for me until the 18th block file, then raised the same socket error just reported. Armory GUI was still responsive, but stopped processing further blocks.

Not had chance to look in detail at the satoshiIsAvailable() method, but perhaps socket creation should be within the try block? Might hack that myself and give it a go.

Are you running a 32-bit OS? I just committed the first version that should build on 32-bit *nix, but haven't had much chance to test online mode (only tested offline mode). pvz appears to be in 32-bit as well, and I wonder if that's related...

Can you please try --rebuild.

I'll do that. Should it be default for the first time or a database check before start?

It is. The default behavior is to rebuild if the DB doesn't exist. Just like I mentioned in that other thread, it looks like you might've interrupted the DB build process in the middle and then it restarted (hence only 77k blocks processed, not 260k). It's worked on my system before but it may not be reliable yet (to interrupt and then restart the build).

I wonder if the recent update did something... because so far I haven't ever seen that error until I committed the tiny update a couple hours ago... at least it should be easy to track down what happened...

Can you please try --rebuild. It will take a while to rebuild the database, but it sounds like your DB is corrupted. There's some transactions in the DB that were only partially written. That's bad.
