Hi Guys,

New to Linux and tot he forum. I was following this awesome build guide but have run into a small issue, when I run the following command

sudo -u deluge vim /var/lib/deluge/.config/deluge/auth

I get this

sudo: unknown user: deluge

I am a little unsure whether I have to create the deluge user or if it is created by deluge?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry guys I have answered my own questions, completely missed the Deluge part of the guide. Don't ask me how!

You beat me to it :lol:

Was just about to reply and say you seem to have missed a step. The creation of the deluge user is this line:

Code: Select all

sudo adduser --disabled-password --system --home /var/lib/deluge --gecos "SamRo Deluge server" --group deluge


Anyway, glad to hear you've cracked it. :thumbup:

Ian.
