Distribution group getting it to work

[tokio69]

I followed the guide and all seems to be staring up. I see the node in Meshchat but when i want to send a message, I get the following error in the node terminal it needs some sort of identity filled in? And if yes, where and what do I need to will in in what config file?
Do I also need to install the extended version? I tried that and got a syntax error in line 8 if I want to do that
First the error messages for the non-extended setup :

I cleaned up the code for lxmf_distribution, this was old and no more needed. You should only use lxmf_distribution_group_extended or lxmf_distribution_group_minimal.

At the moment i'm still on vacation, therefore i have not seen your messages.

I try to find some time soon to help you.
