Hi,
when you type in a terminal:
users-admin
and then typing your user password what is the output?

What is the output from:
id

and
groups

The output from "id" should show something like this:
uid=1000(username) gid=1000(username) Gruppen=4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),25(floppy),29(audio),30(dip),44(video),46(plugdev),109(lpadmin),111(scanner),114(admin),1000(username)

The output from "groups" should show something like this:
username adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev lpadmin scanner admin
