** Description changed: + [Impact] + + * In order to use the microk8s snap in Ubuntu Core, one currently needs + to be root. This is far from optimal, since normally (on desktop and + server installations) this is not necessary. + + * This make it hard to provide consistent documentation on microk8s + across all supported device, if we have to take the "sudo" command into + account, and how file permissions for generated files might be affected. + + + [Test Plan] + + The issue can be reproduced on Ubuntu Core 18, 20 and 22. The steps are + as following (replace "<uc.img>" with the actual path of your Ubuntu + Core image file: + + qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -smp 2 -m 1500 \ + -netdev user,id=mynet0,hostfwd=tcp::8022-:22,hostfwd=tcp::8090-:80 \ + -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=mynet0 \ + -drive file=<uc.img>,format=raw + + <to be continued> + + + Original bug description + ======================== + Currently doing something like: - sudo usermod -a -G snap_microk8s dbeamonte + sudo usermod -a -G snap_microk8s dbeamonte on a Ubuntu Core system will fail with - usermod: /etc/group.15965: Read-only file system + usermod: /etc/group.15965: Read-only file system This is because the existing usermod patches to detect the extrausers file do not cover this case. Attached a simple patch that enables it. I will give this patch a test run in our image PPA for jammy and if things look good I would like upload to 22.04 and SRU for 20.04 and 18.04.
