Adding user during Gentoo installation and KDE 3.2 the user must below to group "tty" otherwise user will not be able to use konsole or su command. So when adding a newuser the command should be: useradd john -m -G users,wheel,audio,tty -s /bin/bash It took me almost a day to figure it out so this message might same some users a lot of time. -- Joseph Fixed in CVS. Can someone test if this is still necessary? I would like to have that removed, and everything seems to work fine with kde here without being in the tty group. See also bug 31877 comment 33, 34, 35 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.desktop/2048 states that it might have never been needed in the first place. I'll wait one day (in case ${TIMEZONE} habitants haven't read that mail yet) and update the document then (err, wait, I'm off tomorrow - I'll fix it when i'm back). I see that it isn't in our docs anymore, closing again. |
