Description macias - 2007-09-16 09:26:03 UTC
It is quite obvious -- it is hard to find any group if the order is u, a, v, b, h, etc. Please sort it.
Comment 1 Jiří Suchomel 2007-09-21 07:12:22 UTC
The order is "sorted local groups", "sorted system groups". Do you have something different?
Comment 2 macias - 2007-09-21 07:32:54 UTC
I cannot tell because there is no label, just example what I have:
users
vboxusers
at
audio
avahi

I can tell you I searched for vboxusers for quite some time ;-)
Comment 3 Jiří Suchomel 2007-09-21 07:57:07 UTC
Huh? What's vboxusers? Could you attach the screenshot and y2logs?

vboxusers

vboxusers is a group from Virtual Box (I recommend it, so far it seems really great), no magic here. Problem is with sorting.

I cannot attach all logs, they are too big.
Comment 5 Jiří Suchomel 2007-09-21 12:19:06 UTC
OK, so where's the problem? The set of local groups is intentionally above the set of system groups, but inside they are sorted.
Comment 6 macias - 2007-09-21 12:40:18 UTC
? The problem is, the list is not sorted. Instead of just looking for "X", you have to:
a) know what is the order of that list -- and it is not intuitive one
b) know what kind of group it is
c) find it

It is all a bit surreal, allowing to just find the group in alphabetic order is way faster.
Comment 7 Jiří Suchomel 2007-09-21 13:02:32 UTC
Hm, maybe you are right; I actually thought this ordering is more clear, but I'm biased as I wrote it :-)
Comment 8 Stephan Kulow 2008-06-25 09:20:12 UTC
mass reopening all 10.2 LATER+REMIND bugs.
Comment 9 Stephan Kulow 2008-06-25 09:24:27 UTC
close all 10.2 LATER/REMIND bugs as WONTFIX. Reopen yourself if you still plan to work on it.
