It appears that you don't have /etc/machine-id on this system.  I'm not
sure exactly why that would be, but you can run
"systemd-machine-id-setup" to create one.  (If you aren't running
systemd, see
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/en/man1/systemd-machine-id-setup.1.html
for what it does.)
