Yast2 users crashes in new installation

[cookie170]

Has anyone installed TW recently? The users-module crashes on startup.

I’ve got a notebook with an integrated webcam, which refused to work. The main user wasn’t member of the group video. The users wasn’t even member of the users group, as “groups” on the cmd revealed.

Thing is, during installation I choose that yast should reuse the already existing users on /home. But before reinstallation I had a fully updated TW installation as well.

When I type “sudo yast2 users” the module crashes.

journalctl -f output:

Any ideas?

@cookie170 YaST is on it’s way out, use the command line usermod -a -G video <username> or Cockpit?

Tumbleweed doesn’t use users group anymore it’s username:username.

Thank you. I added the user to the video group and got a camera stream. But it seems the installation process is borked if the users can’t get access to a build in webcam out of the box.

I googled without success. Do you know where I can read a bit about the new concept without a users group? Before opening a bug report?

@cookie170 Hi, this happened over two years ago… This Tumbleweed install was on 111824 and it was in place then AFAICR…

Additonal groups is always a post-install thing, I just add my user to libvirt rtlsdr video render dialout and systemd-journal.
