usermod: group 'huawei-wmi' does not exist
Futureknows opened this issue · 2 comments
Fedora 32. Installed Huawei-WMI (huawei-wmi-3.4-1dkms.noarch.rpm).
Installed the batpro script.
Reboot.
Trying to add user to group gives error:
$ sudo usermod -a -G huawei-wmi user usermod: group 'huawei-wmi' does not exist
Running batpro status gives error:
$ sudo batpro status
iopl: Operation not permitted ^Ciopl failed: You may need to run as root or give the process the CAP_SYS_RAWIO capability. On non-x86 architectures, this operation probably isn't possible.
What am I missing?
You don't need a new user, you can use sudo instead. I don't think this is related to the driver, please refer to matebook-applet and open a new issue there since this is an issue with batpro.
What am I missing?
You're missing a lot of things.
You're trying to use batpro on Linux Kernel >5.0, which is a bad idea. You're trying to add an user to work with batpro instead of properly using sudo as advised in the repository that holds batpro. You're confusing this repository that holds the driver with Rouven's that holds the user/group/systemd things.
