I was able to login via ssh as you said - thanks!


So, the intention is that the 'first user' logs in via ssh and then
creates the necessary local users using 'sudo adduser <name>'?


However, when I try to add a new user, it fails as follows.  I've
tried rebooting, etc, but that didn't change anything.


sudo adduser admin
Adding user `admin' ...
Adding new group `admin' (1001) ...
groupadd: cannot lock /etc/group; try again later.
adduser: `/usr/sbin/groupadd -g 1001 admin' returned error code 10. Exiting.



I also have a few follow-up questions to subjects brought up in this thread.

This new 'first user experience' caught me by surprise - I don't think I
saw anything about this on the snapcraft mailing list.  Is there some other
list I'm not following that discusses these changes ahead of time?

I'm still using ubuntu-device-flash to build my image.  Is there any way
for me to fix the missing model assertion problem yet?  Do I have to wait
for ubuntu-image or is there something I can do sooner?

Thanks for all the help.

Regards, Mike
