Starting Peerbox issue

[gotqn]

I am trying to create raspberry pie 3 node. I have follow the steps from the tutorial but when I type:

sudo peerbox -start

I get the following error:

Starting Peerbox... Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/peerbox", line 404, in node = Client(testnet=False) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/peercoin_rpc/peercoin_rpc.py", line 32, in init self.username, self.password = self.userpass() ## try to read from ~/.ppcoin File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/peercoin_rpc/peercoin_rpc.py", line 52, in userpass with open('/home/{0}/.ppcoin/ppcoin.conf'.format(getpass.getuser()), 'r') as conf: IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/root/.ppcoin/ppcoin.conf'

You are running it as root, it should be running as user "pi".

I haven't got such user. I have deleted it and create another sudo user. If i run the program without sudo, nothing happened. I wait about 25-30 minutes and it still says Starting Peerbox

Create user "pi". Then reinstall peerbox to create all required files/folders.

sudo apt-get install peerbox

About such wait times, I will need more info. But first try this please.

Thanks. It seem I am only able to start the peerbox with the pi user. Should I add this as request for development? In many raspberry tutorials it is shown how to create new user and delete the pi one. I guess this is limitation we do not need here.

Peerbox is designed to be username agnostic. However after creating new user you have to reinstall so proper configuration files get installed. Did you do that?

[gotqn]

Yes. I need to run sudo apt-get uninstall peerbox first, then install it using the pi username.
