Well, based on a user request, I'm proposing this patch: In Code Listing 11.a. User Administration useradd john -m -G users,wheel,audio -s /bin/bash to: useradd john -m -G users,wheel,audio,tty -s /bin/bash The user wrote: I just install KDE 3.2 and was was not able to use konsole and "su" in graphical KDE environment because the user did not belong to tty group.
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.
