Ubuntu Xfce 16.04
I've made the noob error of loosing my groups with a
usermod -G video df4ze
but immediately re-add my user to each loosed groups.
Everythings seems to work (sudo, etc...) but I was warned by a "Wrong password" when Ubuntu ask me to install new update. Not really a problem because I could update in cli mode.
Forgot aubout it, I shut it down ... and now getting stuck in recovery mode and can't launch anymore xserver :
unable to connect to xserver : connection refused
Using sudo startx it launch but got too much troubles...
I've check 4 times the removed groups with a
sudo grep group /var/log/auth.log.In
/etc/X11/Xwrapper.confsetallowed_userstoanybodyChange owner of
.Xauthorityand.ICEauthorityfor my user:groupRelaunch xserver legacy with
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg-legacy-hwe-16.04Seeing that error message talk about
tty, I've add my user tottygroup. Now I do not have thettyerror message but still the "connection refused"Then I ran several commands lines but still got the same issue:
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get update --fix-missing
Last chance will be a rm -R / but i'm sure there is a better way!

No it should not AFAIK - although runningsudo startxalmost certainly will. What exactly are your groups now (i.e. the output of commandid)?
