Description Charles Bushong 2018-07-24 11:58:47 UTC

I recently started having an issue where my Konsole windows won't have any user groups at login.  An example of the issue is below.  All my /etc/group file is fine.

$ id
uid=1001(charles) gid=1001(charles) groups=1001(charles)
$ sudo -
# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)
# su - charles
$ id
uid=1001(charles) gid=1001(charles) groups=1001(charles),4(adm),24(cdrom),27(sudo),30(dip),46(plugdev),117(lpadmin),128(sambashare),130(vboxusers),999(docker),1002(chrome-remote-desktop)

I've tried creating a brand new user on my system.  At boot with Gnome, it had proper groups at login.  At boot with KDE Plasma, I had no groups aside from my own user.

I'm not positive this is an issue with Konsole, but I'm not sure how I would find out or where to look to go higher in the chain.

I would suggest asking on Kubuntu and/or Ubuntu websites/forums/mailinglists.

Typically, when you're unsure if it Konsole, try it in xterm, gnome-terminal etc.

If it only happens in Konsole, then consider if all terminals are using the same shell.
