Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 25.04 (plucky).
There is a error message at every boot registered in the journal
(journalctl):
addgroup[nnn]: The group `hardinfo2' already exists.
This message is generated during the start of the "hardinfo2.service",
in the script "/usr/bin/hwinfo2_fetch_sysdata" with this command:
addgroup hardinfo2 2>/dev/null
So, the standard error messages are redirected to /dev/null but these
messages are still logged to the journal.
A possible solution is adding "--logmsglevel none" to that command:
addgroup --logmsglevel none hardinfo2 2>/dev/null
Notice that "none" isn't a valid logmsglevel value but it do the trick.
