I tried to reproduce this but it didn't fail for me, however a quick search seems to indicate this might be a problem not with systemd, but with pam, e.g.: https://github.com/proot-me/PRoot/issues/156#issuecomment-735011266
As you're using 18.04, which includes pam 1.1.8, the problem may be fixed for you if you try on a 20.04 system, which includes pam 1.3.1. If that works, then there is likely some patch needed to be backported to pam in bionic. ** Bug watch added: github.com/proot-me/PRoot/issues #156 https://github.com/proot-me/PRoot/issues/156 ** Package changed: systemd (Ubuntu) => pam (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1913629 Title: adduser: \/usr/bin/chfn -f systemd Time Synchronization systemd- timesync' returned error code 1.
