I keep getting this error when trying to emerge mythtv. I never havent had a games group before and I really dont know what adding one entails. Any help would be greatly appreciated
>>> Completed installing mythtv-0.19_p9163-r1 into /var/tmp/portage/mythtv-0.19_p9163-r1/image/

001430 >>> Merging media-tv/mythtv-0.19_p9163-r1 to /
001431 * Adding user 'mythtv' to your system ...
001432 * - Userid: 103
001433 * - Shell: /bin/false
001434 * - Home: /dev/null
001435 * You must add group games to the system first

001437 !!! ERROR: media-tv/mythtv-0.19_p9163-r1 failed.
001438 !!! Function enewuser, Line 525, Exitcode 0

Thanks a lot

If that still leaves you with questions, then ask away.

yea, sounds good. But what kind of permissions does a games group need, or do I just need one that is named games.
I will try just adding a group though, thanks |

I think you just need to run 'groupadd games'. You could also emerge a game (any game) and the ebuild should create the group for you.
