The authorization code executes some sudo commands in backend to check if the user used to login in Kimchi has permission to execute privileged commands. By default, sudo needs a TTY to be executed and when Kimchi is executed as a service by systemd (systemctl start kimchid.service), it runs disconnected from any TTY, and sudo returns an error and the message: "sudo: sorry, you must have a tty to run sudo". This patch sets in Kimchi service file for systemd the /dev/tty11 as default TTY to execute the service.
