**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Mar 11 02:59:58 2016 Mar 11 13:42:37 Just to follow up on my own question (how to add a user to the Ubuntu Core Rootfs), I found a solution that worked great here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/216621/how-to-add-user-to-separate-filesystem-armel Mar 11 13:43:12 It's technically for armel but worked perfectly for armhf. Mar 11 13:43:25 you would simply boot and run adduser ... Mar 11 13:44:24 ogra_: Yeah, nothing 'simple' about it, or wasn't for me anyway. The Core rootfs doesn't have any users defined. Mar 11 13:44:36 it has root Mar 11 13:44:39 without password iirc Mar 11 13:44:50 thats enough to log in and run adduser Mar 11 13:46:06 ogra_: Just checked it, root is (as ever for Ubuntu) not possible to log into. Mar 11 13:47:27 then you just need to drop the exclamation mark from /etc/shadow on the Sd Mar 11 13:47:29 ogra_: Boy wouldn't that have made me mad if it had worked though... Mar 11 13:47:58 that should be enough to let you in as root without password Mar 11 13:48:54 ogra_: The link I mentioned solved it for me, but I'll make a note about /etc/shadow for any future images. Nothing else should need to be changed? Mar 11 13:49:11 that should be it ... Mar 11 13:49:43 you will indeed need to set up your network after first boot and likely want to apt-get a bit of stuff (like vi or nano) Mar 11 13:49:58 ogra_: Thanks, I'll try it out on a server I'm building next week. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Mar 12 02:59:58 2016
