[Bug] Bluebox Timelord Installation Issue #649

Closed thesemaphoreslim closed 3 months ago

thesemaphoreslim commented 3 months ago

What happened?

The Bluebox Timelord installation instructions located at https://docs.chia.net/timelord-install/ appear to be incomplete resulting in the failure of the timelord_launcher and VDF client from running. These instructions direct the user to install Chia via "apt-get install chia-blockchain"; however, this does not seem to properly install the bluebox timelord capabilities.

Based on my troubleshooting, bluebox timelord capabilities can only be activated by installing Chia from source and executing the "install-timelord.sh" script.

The installation instructions provided by the Spacefarmers wiki (https://wiki.spacefarmers.io/guides/timelord/bluebox) appear to be more accurate and result in a functional bluebox timelord instance.

Version

2.4.2

What platform are you using?

Linux

What ui mode are you using?

CLI

Relevant log output

When following the guide on Chia docs and starting the timelord I get:
