Bug ID: 455141
Summary: [systemd] When enabling experimental systemdBoot, log
out followed by login no longer applies changes from
/etc/groups
Product: frameworks-kded
Version: 5.94.0
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: fa...@kde.org
Reporter: kdeb...@vorpal.se
CC: kdelibs-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Note! I don't know if this is the right project or component. I have *no* idea
about what part of KDE causes this bug. Unfortunately I don't see any "I have
no idea" option. Feel free to move it.
When using the experimental systemd KDE startup (see
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/wikis/Plasma-and-the-systemd-boot),
I discovered that changes are not applied from /etc/groups when I log out and
back in again. Stopping the user session (systemctl stop user@1000.service as
root) does make the change apply. Also, when not using systemd startup this
works as expected.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Log in from login manager
2. Add a new group (e.g. optical) to your user that you don't currently have
(verify this first via the groups command) from a terminal using for example:
sudo gpasswd -a youruser optical
3. Log out
4. Log back in
5. Check groups again in terminal.
OBSERVED RESULT
The newly added group is not applied.
EXPECTED RESULT
The newly added group should be applied. This is the case when NOT using
systemdboot setting. It is also how other DEs (such as Cinnamon) work, and all
other DEs and WMs I have used historically have worked.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.94.0
Qt Version: 5.15.4
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
* I use lightdm 1.30.0 as the login manager. I don't know if this is different
with sddm.
* X11, not wayland
