I'm trying to add a user to a group but it doesn't seem to work:
sudo usermod -a -G wireshark nicolas
But when I check my id, I get
uid=1000(nicolas) gid=1000(nicolas) groupes=1000(nicolas),24(cdrom),25(floppy),29(audio),30(dip),44(video),46(plugdev),109(netdev),112(bluetooth),115(scanner)
Or, simplier, groups
nicolas cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev netdev bluetooth scanner
I checked that wireshark group existed with
$ sudo groupadd wireshark
groupadd: group 'wireshark' already exists
Has anyone got an idea? Thanks
If you're currently logged in as the user you're modifying, make sure to log out and log back in again to see your updates.
For what it's worth, in the terminal you can also "switch" user to the same user with su <username>
. (Although, that effectively nests a new login inside your current session, so if you exit
you'll end up in your original, unmodified, session.)
