Topic: Freelss rpi3 properties file error

So I have freelss running on an old b+ pi with the sd card image, but i wanted to get it up and running my rpi3, so I went thorough all the steps, got it installed, and i can get to the web interface, turn the lasers on, see out of the camera, but I cant save any settings.
Every time I try to save any settings (including the serial number, so that I can update to the newest version), I get this:
"ERROR
Error opening properties file for writing:"
And that's it. I'm assuming there is some sort of properties file I need to create somewhere, but I'm not sure where to put it, and why it didn't get created when I built freelss.

Also, I set the gpu memory to 256, and was wondering if setting it at 512 would be better? There is a total of 1Gb of ram on the rpi3, but i'm not sure if freelss is more cpu or gpu intensive.

Re: Freelss rpi3 properties file error

ok, figured out the properties error. it turns out that init scripts dont work properly on the new kernel. might want to make a warning about that on the github page. if i stop the script using

sudo /etc/init.d/freelss  stop

and then do

cd ~/freelss/src
sudo ./freelss

it works.
