Ah, that would indeed be it. Now, the interesting question is indeed how that happened. I believe you that you didn't hand-edited that, it would be a very unusual thing to do. Did you ever use sytem -> admin -> users and groups? (the program "users-admin"). In earlier releases it had a grave bug which removed users from groups, but that was fixed around the dapper to feisty timeframe. But it's entirely possible that it has another bug which scrambles group IDs. It's the first time I see it, though.
> QUESTION: Is there a chance of files existing where the group permissions are for the wrong gid? Yes, that's technically possible. Create a user or group, chmod/chgrp the file, remove the user/group. -- fails to run lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/295405 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
