| Summary | 0005794: multi user setup not working properly | ||||
| Description | When using some of the CLI tools under a normal user they hang. E.g.: > gnunet-identity -d or > gnunet-arm -I One reason could be that no runtime was created for the user. There exists the gnunet-gnunet-runtime and gnunet-system-runtime under /tmp. Lurchi seems to have similar problems and concluded that the multi user setup did not work for him. Another example, maybe different problem, but this works under single user setup: > gnunet-publish text.txt Error publishing: Can not index file `/home/xrs/text.txt': . . | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Install everything as described in Chapter 4.1 to 4.7.1. in https://docs.gnunet.org/#Installing-GNUnet. There are two configs: - /etc/gnunet.conf - ~/.config/gnunet.conf Run gnunet instance under user gnunet. Run CLI tools under normal user. | ||||

In NixOS, the multi-user setup now works for me (except for the problem described in https://bugs.gnunet.org/view.php?id=5795). The runtime directory for my user is created as soon as I run gnunet-arm -s as my user. But in your case it seems that is not possible. The log you attached is from the user services, correct? Is there suspicious output in the system services logs? |

---> Start `gnunet-arm -s` as normal user. Maybe this information was missing! I didn't know I had to start gnunet-arm also as normal user as well. In the handbook in chapter 4.7.1 it says only in the last sentence: "For the multi-user setup first the system services need to be started as the system user, i.e. the user gnunet needs to execute gnunet-arm -s. This should be done by the system’s init system." Is this correct? |

@lurchi: To answere your questions. Yes, it is possible to start as normal user. Yes, the logs are from the user services without having started gnunet-arm under normal user. I supposed running gnunet-arm under system user "gnunet" was enought. No suspicous output in the system service logs. |

The information that normal users have to run gnunet-arm -s is in the manual, but hidden in the "Config Leftovers" chapter which we should slowly eliminate. I added it in the "Checking the installation chapter" too: https://git.gnunet.org/gnunet.git/commit/?id=9ffc488dd37caebe53ce4af86fb1a3f0eacc7c7c Can this issue be closed? |
