I also use Armory on Mint 15 without issues. Make sure you're using the appropriate 12.04 installer.

For offline use, there's a list of dependencies on the "build from source" page on our website.  You can use "sudo apt-get install --print-uris ..." and it will fetch a full list of downloads of the entire dependency tree.  "wget" all those packages and take them to the offline computer along with the Armory package.

Hi

I can't say what the problem is with your setup but can confirm that the 0.9 beta with bitcoind (not Bitcoin-QT) runs well on Linux Mint 15 Cinnamon as a watching-only wallet. My sequence to get this running was to install Mint from the live CD, update Mint, download and install bitcoind, then finally download and install Armory. I let the package manager install any dependancies required. The packages I used were for Ubuntu 12.04. When I fired up Armory for the first time it automatically found and ran bitcoind and started downloading the blockchain.


Thank you.

I'll give it another try later.

I have a fresh install of Linux Mint 15, and I finally got Bitcoin-QT installed and fully synced, and was going to install Armory to use it as an online, watching-only wallet to create transactions (using an offline computer to sign the transactions), but I have been having trouble getting any of the Linux releases of Armory to work.

Any ideas what the issue is?
