New config changes in pmaports have stopped adding the user account created by pmbootstrap to the input group on new edge installs. The input group has historically been used to give accounts access to raw input devices under /dev/input/. On the modern Linux desktop, this is considered a security hole, as it allows the reading and injection of any event in /dev/input/, which is a common tactic of keyloggers and other malicious software. Instead, input devices are handled using various ACLs or other groups that do not require total control of /dev/input/.
The SXMO desktops have been excepted from this change due to requiring the input group for some functionality.
This only affects new images past this date. If you are running an image created before this change and would like to remove the input group, run the following command and reboot, replacing <username> with the name of your user account:
sudo gpasswd --delete <username> input
If you find an issue stemming from the lack of input group access, please file an issue in pmaports, as this is a bug.
