Having the same problem after update 16.10 -> 17.04. Have to do "sudo chmod -R a+w /dev/shm/" after each reboot.

See http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=299777#c10, Bug 559545, Bug 532898 (a comment unrelated to the fixed bug that had observed "when the system is up, I have to "sudo chmod 777 /dev/shm" - otherwise various things (like Chromium) fail in a strange way" and many other references. Applying the /etc/fstab fix suggested by gentoo: # See http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=299777#c10 shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0 does appear to resolve the problem, but other lucid systems have the correct permissions on /dev/shm without that entry. All of my lucid installs are up to date, so I'm not sure what the underlying cause is of the faulty permissions.
