Package: base-passwd Version: 3.6.8 Severity: normal Tags: d-i X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected], [email protected]
Dear Maintainer, After a fresh Debian Testing installation (installer build 20250803+deb13u1) with GNOME desktop (task-gnome-desktop), the created user was not added to the 'render' group, although the group exists in the system. What led up to the situation? * Standard Debian Testing netinstall with GNOME desktop task selected * User created during installation process What was the outcome? * User is member of: cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev users netdev scanner bluetooth lpadmin input * The 'render' group exists (GID 992) but is completely empty * Vulkan applications fail with errors like: "Gdk-WARNING: Vulkan: Could not open device /dev/dri/renderD128: Invalid argument (VK_ERROR_INCOMPATIBLE_DRIVER)" What outcome did you expect? * Desktop users should be automatically added to the 'render' group during installation, similar to how they are added to the 'video' group * The 'render' group is required for GPU computing and Vulkan applications to access /dev/dri/renderD* devices Workaround: * sudo usermod -aG render $USER * logout/login This likely affects desktop installations where the user was created during the installation process, preventing users from using Vulkan or GPU-accelerated applications without elevated privileges.
