Invalid user userxname

Who is userxname? This (predictably) causes the following error:

terry@os3-354-10066:~/minecraftbe/Bedrock-KIX$ ./start.sh 
[sudo] password for terry: 
chown: invalid user: 'userxname'
Checking for the latest version of Minecraft Bedrock server ...

I also got this error. Even, after I changed it to my real username, I can't start Minecraft now.

# SetupMinecraft.sh

same problem

@NanoCode012 @Goodsoldier The issue with the server not starting is likely because of https://github.com/TheRemote/MinecraftBedrockServer/issues/74, tl;dr bedrock_server lost its executable bit for some reason, and chmod +x fixes it. Now my Minecraft server runs, still with this error message invalid user: 'userxname'.

Re-running Setup now works! The owner fixed the bug really quickly.

Hey guys,

Sorry about this, I was working with people on this bug via jamesachambers.com and didn't see it here.

This can happen if you reuse a old SetupMinecraft.sh script as well since the old version of the script didn't look for userxname in the systemd service. Go ahead and remove the old version of SetupMinecraft.sh and run it with the fresh one and it should fix your service/userxname issue!
