error: cannot figure out user name on Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS

See original GitHub issue

Hello everyone. I did follow the instructions here:

But I’m getting the same error using Ubutnu 20.04.2 LTS:

$ ./daedalus-3.3.0-mainnet-16556.bin 
SSE4 check pass
inside installer
source /nix/store/hck9pm5f5arp4sqyq13vpnp1k7bl40sl-tarball/tarball/tarball.tar.xz
mkdir: created directory '/home/<username>/.daedalus'
 344MiB 0:01:24 [4.10MiB/s] [===================================================================================================================================================>  ] 99%            
error: cannot figure out user name

Any clue on what can I do to solve the issue in this case? Thanks in advance!

Same … i did follow the steps and daedalus is horrible with NIS, i have central NIS / NFS server, so i just can’t use daedalus… on my laptop local account, no problem. nfs / ldap pure sadness.

NIS / NFS Server are all Debian 10, my PC runs MINT. Laptop Mint.

EDIT: I did purge all the NIS stuff, installed slapd, connected… daedalus runs fine. 😉 NIS is tooooo old
