Error: change_user_group: can't find the user telegramd to switch to

[Piuser1981]

Hello all,

I installed telegram-cli on a Raspberry Pi B+. After registration, I keep getting this error:

sudo /home/pi/tg/bin/telegram-cli -k /home/pi/tg/tg-server.pub

change_user_group: can't find the user telegramd to switch to

Can anyone please help me with this?

You are running it as root. use '-U root', if you really want it.

User Telegram updated photo

Ok, so that seems to work.
Another question I have is, once i register can I register again as another user (with another telephone number)?

You can use config file and profiles.

Which config file?

[vysheng]

see config.sample

I see in config.sample the following:

This is an empty config file

Feel free to put something here

default_profile = "binlog";

test_dc1 = {
config_directory = ".telegram/test_dc1";
test = true;
msg_num = true;
binlog_enabled = true;
};

binlog = {
config_directory = ".telegram/binlog";
test = false;
msg_num = true;
binlog_enabled = true;
log_level = 2;
};

binlog_mts = {
config_directory = ".telegram/binlog_mts";
test = false;
msg_num = true;
binlog_enabled = true;
log_level = 2;
};

mega = {
config_directory = ".telegram/mega";
test = false;
msg_num = true;
binlog_enabled = true;
log_level = 2;
};

new = {
config_directory = ".telegram/new";
test = false;
msg_num = true;
};

production = {
config_directory = ".telegram/production";
test = false;
msg_num = true;
};

test = {
config_directory = ".telegram/test";
test = true;
msg_num = true;
};

test1 = {
config_directory = ".telegram/test1";
msg_num = true;
binlog_enabled = true;
};

test2 = {
config_directory = ".telegram/test2";
msg_num = true;
binlog_enabled = true;
};

I'm sorry, I don't understand how to use this.
Maybe you can explain a bit more?
I just want to change to another phone number/account after I test telegram with my own..

Oh, then just delete .telegram-cli/*
