Created attachment 1202427 [details] Screenshot of the "Actual Result" Description of problem: The user created via the installer's (anaconda's) screen (while the installation is in progress) is not being added to the sudo group or the sudoers file after the completion of the installation. How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot Fedora 24 LXDE (Spin) edition in a computer. 2. Start the installation process in Fedora into your computer. 3. While installing create an user using the option provided in the install screen, make sure that the "Make this user Administrator" checkbox is unchecked. 4. Set a root password. 5. Wait for the installation to complete. 6. Reboot into the freshly installed OS 7. Open terminal and run this command (without quotes): "sudo echo foobar" Actual results: "<user> is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported." as the output to the command. NOTE: <user> is a place holder for the username of the User created during Step 3. Expected results: "foobar" as the output to the command. Additional info: This test was done in a Virtual Machine created in Virtual Box.
Could you please verify, that <user> is a member of the wheel group? The installer should add users that should have "Administrator" privileges to the wheel group. You can use the id command to inspect group membership. Alternatively, you can use "getent group wheel" to list only member of the wheel group.
Hello, Sorry but I am new here on bugzilla, I see that I have been issued a "needinfo". I have no clue about what should I clarify...
Sorry, I marked my comment as private by mistake. See comment #1.
(In reply to Daniel Kopeček from comment #3) > Sorry, I marked my comment as private by mistake. See comment #1. Ah, no problem :) I just ran the command "getent group wheel" and I got this as output: "wheel:x:10:". Looks like I am not in the wheel group!
Ok, then you should reassign this bug to a the LXDE installer component (not sure about the correct package name) as it probably failed to setup the user correctly (it did not add him to the wheel group).
Isn't it anaconda?
I think I made a major mistake here... In the 3rd step for reproducing the issue, I told to uncheck the administrator box. At the time of reporting, I was not aware but I think this is expected behaviour, if the user is not an administrator, he should not get added to the wheel group! Sorry again :(
