I'm away from my test setup for awhile, so I won't be able to look at this this week.

Are you using the method I describe in the manual (using autostart)? I just retested it and I don't get the error.

Apparently an issue can arise with cron (and perhaps other approaches) runs main.py in a different working directory, hence the link to the config.ini file doesn't work. There are other problems with some of the other approaches as well for programs like ChatterPi that expect the desktop to be up and running.

Haven't had any follow-up on for four months, so closing. If still problems, please open a new issue.
