There is currently no mechanism in snappy to change the permissions and there are limitations with nss-extrausers in that you can’t mix system user/groups (those in /etc/passwd and /etc/group) with extrausers (/var/lib/extrausers/passwd and /var/lib/extrausers/group). Getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names The permissions on the device do not allow non-root to access this device: $ getfacl /dev/tty0 There are currently no interfaces that allow using /dev/tty0 (though one is in progress) so only a devmode snap could be used for this.

I suspect that we would require manual connections in that case due to the problems with X security.īut to answer your question very specifically, /dev/tty0 is the current virtual console ( ). It is possible for someone to implement the security policy for the slot side of the current x11 interface. Furthermore, even if the access to /dev/tty0 was worked through, you would find that X requires a lot of other access to the system in order to run, and the current interfaces don’t allow that (the slot side of x11 would necessarily have to). Xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refusedĬouldn’t get a file descriptor referring to the consoleĬouldn’t get a file descriptor referring to the is right about the x11 interface needing the ‘slot’ side to allow other snaps to talk to X.

But that group is not into /var/lib/extrausers, so I’m not sure if it is possible make current user belong to that group. Seems that regular user needs to belong to tty group in order to gain access to /dev/tty0.
