geoffwea Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 Hi I am building a 'gold image' of a media centre for the Raspberry Pi. I would like to install BTSync as part of image. I understand each Pi will need a unique username to function. My question is 'is there a way to completely remove the previous username and re-enter the configuration process?'. Cheers, Geoff.

RomanZ Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 @geoffwea As I understand, you want Sync to run under current user, with no particular user creation for it? Is it correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffwea Posted October 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2016 I'm building gold image using 2.9.3. How does one change username without fully uninstalling? Cheers, geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffwea Posted October 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 thanks for reply. I don't entirely understand the question, however my goal is the create a gold image of the following configuration: 1. Raspberry Pi 3 OSMC and Kodi Sync 2.0.93 I can install (sudo apt-get install btsync) and get btsync to do its thing. I have 'imaged' the SD card, and I can rol- out standard builds, however I can't seem to change btsync username. Even when I uninstall (sudo apt-get remove btsync) the original username persists. My poorly worded question was; 'is there a way to fully remove original username and re enter configuration process where I get to put in a new unique username?' Cheers, Geoff.

Helen Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 unlink identity. See here if that's what you mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffwea Posted October 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 thanks Helen, do you know if this is supported in v 2.0.93. I'm deploying on a Pi / OSMC and I have found later versions because of constant indexing can consume lots of CPU, even when not transferring files. Thanks again, Geoff.

geoffwea Posted October 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Further to my comments above, I suppose what I'm asking is, given that I'm on an old version and can't utilise the 'new' change identity feature, is there a way for manually removing all identity information, and adding new identity; possibly by re-entering configuration process ? When I uninstall using apt-get command, then I reinstall then it seems that the initial identity persists; which is consistent with a post / FAQ I saw somewhere about choosing your identity carefully as it can't be changed! My thinking is that it must be in a file somewhere which can be removed via command line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Well, actually unlinking identity also works on early 2.0.93. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
