PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'main.sym'

[djarbz]

I upgraded to v1.2.5.
My node is harvesting as well as a remote harvester.
It appears to be looking for a main.sym file, but I cannot find that file anywhere on my filesystem.

Here is my service file:

[loppefaaret]

to me, it says permission denied, so it isn't looking for it, it has found it, it was just not permitted to do what it wanted ? are you sure that all the permissions for user chia is in order ?

[djarbz]

I'm not sure what happened, but I have it working now.
I ended up deleting the chia-blockchain github folder and re-installed.

I have never found a main.sym as of yet on my filesystem.

[loppefaaret]

yeah, i dont see it in any of our repos either...

[annoyingspore]

there is a whole lot of subfolders in the chia directory so it may be something in one of those files.
its a problem of making sure you do the install.sh, . ./activate and chia init stuff as regular user, not root.
