Version: (using KDE 4.2.2) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages There are several groups which frequently very important for desktop users to belong to. For example, in order to capture and edit video from a DV camera, you must belong to the "video" group. To use the serial port you have to belong to the "dialout" group. Access to other common peripherals and tasks requires membership in other oddly-named groups. It would be great to have something like a "basic" and "advanced" set of options in the groups list. In the basic options, label the checkboxes by function: "Capture Video", "Use Scanners", "Administer the computer", "Send Faxes", etc. The "advanced" view would just have the standard list of all groups.
I don't think it can be (and must be...) solved: - This is distro specific - Modern distros use ConsoleKit for giving permissions to device nodes
kuser no longer exists as a separate thing and hasn't for several years; it's relevant functionality now exists as the Users page in System Settings. If you experience an issue with that page, or want to request a new feature for it, feel free to open a new bugzilla ticket about the matter at https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=systemsettings&component=kcm_users. Thanks folks!
