Can't find usbkill.ini

[Androp0v]

No matter where I put usbkill.ini (tried /private/etc/usbkill/ and /etc/usbkill/ and ~/Users/.../Downloads/usbkill-master/usbkill/ but I always get the error:

"[ERROR] You have lost your settings file. Get a new copy of the usbkill.ini and place it in /etc/ or in /Users/Raul/Downloads/usbkill-master/usbkill/"

It works fine with the Dev version, but it doesn't allow the --no-shutdown option

Perhaps during setup, or some time before/after, usbkill is being directed to the wrong location for usbkill.ini?

Interesting enough, I'm also apparently having this issue.

@Androp0v: did you installing and running as privileged user? I did this with a fresh copy.
$ sudo python setup.py install
$ sudo usbkill --version

h can not be created unless it has sudo privilages. May be you can try this:

sudo python setup.py install
sudo usbkill --version

and don't forget sudo while copying.
Hope this helps.

i have the same problem on macSierra. I tried what was suggested and still get the error. Any solution? Thanks

I was able to fix this by placing it on /etc/ instead of the directory where the app was located, perhaps it's a permissions thing, worth trying to see if that makes a difference.
