Are you running your machine day-to-day as root? |
| 22 |
That sounds like a recipe for disaster... |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
That preaching aside, I do have audio working as a normal user and my groups are - |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
$ groups aisha |
| 27 |
wheel video portage lxc lxd aisha |
| 28 |
$ groups root |
| 29 |
root bin daemon sys adm disk wheel floppy tape video lxc lxd |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Fwiw, I only added lxc/lxd to root manually (I think, it's an old machine). |
| 32 |
Hope this helps, ymmv. |
