User Creation

Closed this issue · 2 comments

I think there might be two issues in the part where it attempts to create a primary user:

  • I had set the password variable to blank, and the script seemed to just blow through setting the password, with no input from me.
  • The adbuser and wireshark groups don't exist when the command runs, so the useradd call as-is doesn't work.

I will be installing another machine later in the week so I will double check that these are problems.

I'm not sure why the script wouldn't ask for a password, I'll have to double-check it in a VM or something.

For the second point, unless the android-udev and wireshark-gtk packages didn't get installed, those groups should exist. Maybe somehow one of those packages failed to install?

I could not repeat this behavior, not sure what happened on the other machine.
