    16.10 lightdm fails to apply user groups

    Just upgraded two of my computers to ubuntu 16.10, and now the supplementary groups aren't applied anymore - in both of them.

    After login I get only the main group (as shown by "id), but regular login or "su -l" works just fine.


    What's happening? I tried to check /etc/pam.d/* but everything looks normal! There is no error in dmesg/xsessions/lightdm.log.

    Ubuntu 16.10 is not expected to be stable. That said, have you checked that your groups in /etc/group are intact?

    Yes it's intact and groups work fine when I login via console or just run "su MYSELF" at xterm.
