#2126 closed defect (fixed)
User "user" not in group "users" on OSGeoLive vmdk
Reported by: | Ben Caradoc-Davies | Owned by: | |

Description
The user "user" is not a member of the "users" group on the OSGeoLive 12.0 vmdk. This prevents GeoServer from writing to its data directory and causes GeoServer to fail to start. The iso image is not affected by this problem.
Workaround is to fix the vmdk with the following one-time procedure:
(1) Start a terminal.
(2) Run "sudo adduser user users".
(3) Apply this change by starting a new desktop session: either restart the virtual machine or log out and log back in (username "user", password "user").
GeoServer should now start normally.

After getting feedback from a tester on Gitter (thanks KoalaGeo?), looks like this is still an issue once you install 13.0 on a VM.

I am sending this ticket back to 12.0 where it is still valid.
For 13.0 this workaround is included in the installation quickstart, plus it will be fixed in the VM installation procedure.
