Since upgrading to 13.10, I no longer have
the 'privileges' to do
the following things:
Mount USB/CDROM drives
Run software centre or software updater
Press
the GUI shut down or restart buttons
Unlock my account in
the 'settings - user accounts' section (padlock is greyed out)
Also, when logging
on as a guest user I get error messages relating to Compiz crashing with SIGSEGV and it hangs
on a blank wallpaper screen.
However, I still am able to use sudo in
the terminal.
Output of 'groups' is
jenchris adm dialout cdrom sudo audio video plugdev lpadmin admin pulse pulse-access sambashare
sudo usermod -U username doesn't have any effect
Output of sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh -a
