Ah.  I just missed one vital step:

After installing, before you can start managing, installing etc you have to
become (or create) a dhis2 admin user.  Like this:

sudo dhis2-create-admin bobj

Converts me (bobj) to a dhis2-admin.  Basicaly adds me to dhis2-admin group
and gives me superuser access to database.  The idea being that you can
create dhis2-admin users who don't ever need to have full root privileges.
 Some finer tuning would still be good here.
