Unknown id: postgres

I'm getting the error: "Unknown id: postgres" when I run sudo su postgres

He're my i/o lines from the shell:

(blog-venv)vagrant@precise64:~$ sudo su postgres Unknown id: prostgres

What am I missing?

Sounds like PostgreSQL didn't get installed somehow (check the log when you vagrant up to see if any errors show for postgres).

I have the same problem. I went through this lesson a couple of months ago, and everything worked fine. For some reason the Chef files don't work anymore. I get this when I run vagrant up:
