Description zach.flynn 2010-09-16 19:09:19 UTC

Emerging powerdevil-4.5 does not create a "power" group.  A user must be in that group in order to suspend to ram or disk, probably to manage power at all.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Emerge powerdevil.
2. 
3.

Actual Results:  
Unable to use powerdevil to control power.

Expected Results:  
Basically, there should be a "power" group created when powerdevil is merged because it is useless otherwise.

There's obviously a simple workaround:
# groupadd power
# useradd -G power -a user

Are you sure about this, and could you please point to some docs? 
It just works here...
