Public bug reported: We're attempting to make the GPIO system on the Raspberry Pi images work "out of the box" on the new image. By default, GPIO kernel devices are made available to members of the "dialout" group which the initial user is added to by default on our server images. However, we've noticed that this isn't the case on the desktop images.
The regression potential is minimal; the group already exists and we're simply adding the freshly created user to a new group and not removing any existing memberships. The group in question ("dialout") is also rarely used these days except for providing access to serial consoles, and as mentioned above is already a default membership on the server images. The change has been tested on the desktop image successfully. A test build of the updated image will be made under https://launchpad.net/~waveform/+archive/ubuntu/ubiquity and I'll attach a debdiff shortly. ** Affects: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1923363 Title: [FFe] Users are not added to the dialout group To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1923363/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
