[BUG] Timelord can't find vdf_client library after starting services

See original GitHub issue

Hi! I had an error when started services. It appears after several seconds after start (FileNotFoundError: can’t find vdf_client binary). Also I’ve checked library in pip and all looked fine.

$ (venv) d@desktop: chia start all

I guess the ask then becomes how do we remove Timelord from the startup. I guess if we/you don’t mind installing timelord we could just do

cd chia-blockchain
. ./activate
sh install-timelord.sh

Then I see

$ chia start all
chia_harvester: started
chia_timelord_launcher: started
chia_timelord: started
chia_farmer: started
chia_full_node: started
chia_wallet: started

Those of us running swar or plotmanager don’t want anything to do with chia-blockchain-gui

The command chia start all with attempt to start everything, including a timelord. You most likely don’t want to run a timelord, as it is an advanced use case. Use chia start farmer instead.
