Thank you very much for your help.
I admit i did not give all information, I replied when i was in a state of despair and frustration as i have been spending most of my life trying to get this running. Sorry for not giving extra information.
Extra information
I am probably more difficult to help than most because i am not a technical person. Also i am in my late 70s so a bit slower at picking things up.
I followed your instructions and they did work, however i got a lot of questions which i was unsure how to answer
1st message
Please enter the Uniform Resource Identifier of the LDAP server. The format is “ldap://<hostname_or_IP_address>:/”. Alternatively, “ldaps://” or “ldapi://” can be used. The port number is optional.
When using an ldap or ldaps scheme it is recommended to use an IP address to avoid failures when domain services are unavailable.
Multiple URIs can be separated by spaces.
LDAP server URI
ldap://127.0.0.1/ Just left it at this default

Configuring nslcd
Please enter the distinguished name of the LDAP search base. Many sites use the components of their domain names for this purpose. For example, the domain “example.net” would use “dc=example,dc=net” as the distinguished name of the search base

dc=home Note: I changed this to dc=glorybox

Configuring libnss-ldapd
For this package to work, you need to modify the /etc/nsswitch.conf file to use the ldap datasource.
You can select the services that should have LDAP lookups enabled. The new LDAP lookups will be added as the last datasource. Be sure to review these changes.
Name services to configure:
passwd
group
shadow
hosts
networks
ethers
protocols
services
rpc
netgroup aliases
oops
I hit enter and it started to load
now recieve the secret 4Br7/OeA3sI+9oJ9
Also as this desktop pc does not have wireless i am using ethernet cable. So i have to install when connected to the internet moden then conect cable to another pc
I am sure now that the problem has been me trying to get the same boot up log-in screen i got when i used Virtualbox.
When i used the Freedombox for Virtualbox downlod and had it running i did some testing.
First i installed the TOR network and that was all OK then i installed the P2P file share and that installed OK. Then i went to insatll another App and it said drive full.
I can expand the virtual disc drive but i would have to look up instructions. Also my main aim is to run Freedombox on a PC so rather than trying to learn how to expand the virtual drive i went back to trying my desktop…
Thank you for all the help it is appreciated.
I will work on reinstalling Freedombox and spend more time on other PC finding the connection (IP address)
