Then log out and log back in (so your user is actually in the group), and run "nyx". """Thanks Roger. Dumbish question but if we replace 'Then log out and log back in' with 'run "reset" in your console' will that do the trick?
No, reset(1) just affects terminal (tty) settings, it does not affect the active group list for the current login session. There isn't a better solution than logging out and logging back in.
Worse solutions that nobody should recommend as a replacement: - newgrp doesn't run the shell setup reliably in all cases. - sudo to yourself to run nyx only works with certain sudoers configs - sudo to root to run nyx results in running nyx as root, which you shouldn't. - ssh $USER@localhost leaves the terminal session in a confusing state that most non-expert users won't be prepared to understand properly -andy _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
