"Cannot create username" when starting a node

Post by mdr » Wed Jan 26, 2022 1:12 pm

Hi,

I'm using EVE 2.0.3-112, when I start nodes with the admin user everything is OK.

When I try to launch nodes with other accounts, I get this message in the GUI : "cannot create username (14)" and I get the following logs:

useradd: UID 32770 is not unique
ERROR: Cannot create username (14).
ERROR: Failed to add the username (80009).
id: 'unl2': no such user

My user is not named 'unl2'...

I cannot find any issue related to this, anyone has a clue ?

Hum...

If I create a user named unl[pod_id] then I am able to start the nodes.

EVE installation has been made on VMWare with the OVA file.
