sunbeam configure (in maas deployment) fails with error about user not being part of group snap_daemon

[Andre Ruiz]

I'm following this guide -> https://microstack.run/docs/multi-node-maas

Using 2024.1/edge rel 507

and there's a point where you run sunbeam configure --openrc demo-openrc

but it complains:

========================8<-----------------------------------------------------
ubuntu@sunbeam-client:~$ sunbeam configure --openrc demo-openrc
Error: Insufficient permissions to run sunbeam commands
Add the user 'ubuntu' to the 'snap_daemon' group:

    sudo usermod -a -G snap_daemon ubuntu

After this, reload the user groups either via a reboot or by running 'newgrp snap_daemon'.
========================8<-----------------------------------------------------

which seems correct because my user is NOT part of that group, it has not been configured to be by the preparation script, which was run like this: sunbeam prepare-node-script --client | bash -x

Inspecting the script I see no group add to my user. I can manually fix it and then configure works normally.

Similar with:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/snap-openstack/+bug/2066541

Essentially `--client` doesn't do enough job to use Sunbeam itself.

Yeah, that's an exact replica, I'll close this one.
