Forgot to mention, the number chosen for the kvm group, 47, I just picked one of the available slots, no further reasoning behind that choice.

Hi Joshua, Mark,

In general, I don't think we should be "patching in" users and groups
like this to base-passwd. If upstream doesn't have them, they need to
be added through the normal useradd.bbclass mechanism so that users of
useradd-staticids can choose what ID they get mapped to.

Is it possible to revert this and add the kvm group via the useradd.bbclass?


   udevd[<pid>]: specified group 'kvm' unknown

As for this particular patch, why is adding a specific KVM group required? Unless something is hardcoded in KVM to use group '47', a regular system type useradd call should be done instead.  This would avoid the problem that Joshua
is experiencing.


The groups "shutdown" and "input" were already patched in in the same way, so I figured that was the way to do it. But it sounds like you're pointing out that we can drop those three patches, and instead use useradd.bbclass in base-passwd recipe ? Sounds like a nice cleanup.

Cheers,
Jacob
