Description Johannes Lundberg 2017-01-05 18:16:52 UTC

Problem:
https://github.com/wayland-project/weston/blob/master/libweston/weston-launch.c#L158
This will exit early if user belongs to wheel group (id=0) it is listed before weston-launch in the list of groups.

Solution:
Get number of groups (=n) and iterate from 0 to n-1.

n = getgroups(0, NULL);
for (i = 0; i<n; ++i) {
    ...
}
