Error creating empty group with nethserver-dc

[alep (Alessandro Polidori)]

Hi all,
I have a problem creating a new group with nethserver-dc installed.
In particular, the problem arise when I create a group without any members from the web interface.
At the end the group is created and added to the list.
Has anyone had the same error ?

Scenario:

• NS 7 Beta 2 updated
• nethserver-dc-1.0.3-1.ns7.x86_64

How to replicate:

• go to the web interface and to “Users and groups”
• create a new group leaving empty “Members” field
• click “SUBMIT”

Error from web gui:
“Task completed with errors # (exit status)”

Error from /var/log/messages:

Thank you for reporting this, @alep!

Issue: Failure on empty group creation

Fix released on

I had this in this thread Failed to get machine PTY: No such file or directory - #22 by flatspin

@flatspin

If a empty group is created, message: “Task completed with errors” apears. But I think this is ment to this way (or better: this would be logical )

But I though this should be this way.

Me, too. No more error with nethserver-dc-1.0.4 when creating an empty group.

Perfect work @davidep . Thank you!
