Plotting command gives odd list of 'errors'?

Chia Plotting
1

Hello,
I am very new to CHIA and plotting. I believe that I have everything loaded and installed properly but when I run the following command I get some 60 lines of ‘information’. I must be doing something wrong, hopefully easy to spot for someone else. :slight_smile:

Command:
chia plots create -k 32 -b 3400 -u 128 -r 4 -t /media/merour-p01/tmp1/t01 -d /media/merour-p01/PlotsHDD01/p01 -n 2 -f [farmer public key] -p [pool public key]

A few lines at the beginning and a few at the end (so as not to overwhelm the topic):

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/home/merour-p01/chia-blockchain/venv/bin/chia”, line 33, in

Thanks so much.

Do you specify your -p and -f values exactly as you posted them? Because that is not gonna work.

mostly you don’t need those anyway if you are running on the same machine where you also farm. So you might as well leave them out and see if that fixes it

Hi Tydeno, No, I purposely removed my keys. I doubt that they had anything to do with the issue and I didn’t see the need to make them more ’ public’ . :slight_smile:

Thanks for the response, Voodoo. I have (or will have three computers). I have an old laptop (15 yrs old) as a farmer, a new higher end desktop as the plotter (and for the moment, once I get the thing working, a harvester) and a RP4 waiting in the wings as the longer-term harvester. All run Ubuntu (or its flavour). So I do need the keys in there to make sure everything works as it should. That being said, I’ve gone and tried to reinstall and came across other issues. :slight_smile: So this set of problems is now moot. But you’ll probably see me elsewhere with those. ha ha. Cheers, Merour2021
