에러 전문: RPC error -1: ensure user: useradd failed: exit status 12

TL;DR

The issue is likely due to a compatibility problem with the useradd command in WSL2, and a workaround may involve configuring the WSL2 environment or updating the Claude Code version.

Guidance

• The error message "useradd failed: exit status 12" suggests a problem with user management in the WSL2 environment, which may be related to the useradd command not being compatible with WSL2.
• To verify the issue, try running the useradd command manually in the WSL2 terminal to see if it produces the same error.
• Check the WSL2 documentation to see if there are any known issues or workarounds for using useradd in WSL2.
• Consider updating the Claude Code version to a newer release, as the issue may have been fixed in a later version.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue is related to a system command and not a code-specific problem.

Notes

The reported issue seems to be inconsistent, as the OS is listed as both Windows + WSL2 and macOS, which may indicate a reporting error or a more complex issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: The issue is likely related to the WSL2 environment, and applying a workaround such as configuring the WSL2 environment or using an alternative user management method may resolve the issue.
