Subject: [PATCH] Update Ubuntu.md for no password sudo prompts

Some platforms, like Digital Ocean, may require a password prompt for sudo with a newly created user account, which currently creates issues during the install.  Adding the user, even with "--disabled-password' still generated a password entry prompt on sudo use.
