No, it will not work, because the patch has not been released. We need a patch to logind or to udev or to the kernel - I don't know which.
If removing them won't work then having them in in the fist place shouldn't have worked Or are you saying that this whole discussion of what logind does/can do is invalid anyway, absent the patch? In which case the whole line of reasoning falls apart.
No. Let me try again to explain. A normal, not broken system (not updated) needs no adjustments to the groups, made by the admin. An update broke the udev-logind-acls mechanism. So things do not work today. A temporary hack till a patch is produced is to adjust the groups. Another hack is to revert the update. I don't know exactly which. The problem with adjusting groups (yes, it works) is that you have to remember to do it on all machines and all users that may need that access. With the current method (logind-udevd) the permissions are adjusted automatically for the user on the chair, any user, the instant he seats, adjusting the ACLs temporarily. The admin needs doing nothing. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
