>Failed to determine video group id

Did acct-group/video not get installed? You should have a video group.
Comment 2 Ionen Wolkens gentoo-dev 2021-03-29 14:47:53 UTC
What does "getent group video" return? (if anything)

If nothing it'd imply the group is missing, perhaps you're doing something special that require manual creation of groups?
Comment 3 DocMAX 2021-03-29 16:17:43 UTC
i'm really SORRY. i am so stupid.
my group entry was wrong.

video::27:root:docmax

issue resolved!

No problem, glad it's solved :)

> video::27:root:docmax
Oh and, for multiple users, it'd be root,docmax (not that there's a need to have root in there)

e.g. usually "video:x:27:user1,user2"
