gpasswd: group '0' does not exist in /etc/group

[cyrillkuettel]

I have this problem during installation. OS: Ubuntu 22.04

foo@bar:~$ sudo gpasswd -a "$USER" "$(ls -l /dev/input/event* | awk '{print $4}' | head --line=1)"
gpasswd: group '0' does not exist in /etc/group

Anybody can give me a hint on what I have to do to make it work? Thanks in advance!

i didnt get any errors but none of my gestures seem to be working

Unfortunately not, it was the same as your case. I would have enjoyed to use this but I think I can't proceed if step 1 fails.

Hello @cyrillkuettel , the goal of step 1 is to register permissions for touchpad events to your user group.

If group '0' does not exist, you might have deleted it by accident.
Can you check if it exists?

cat /etc/groups

If it's not a group issue, maybe you can try the rest of the steps.
