Public bug reported:
Related to #949597
OS: Ubuntu 18.04.02 LTS
Program: minicom
User account: <user>
Steps:
======
1. Added <user> to group 'dialout'
`sudo adduser <user> dialout
2. Logged user out from the graphical desktop (Gnome 3)
What I expected to Happen:
==========================
a) user is in group 'dialout'
b) minicom to /dev/ttyUSB0 works
What happened instead:
======================
* user is in group 'dialout'
* minicom FAILS with 'permission denied'
Somehow, the previous group information persists.
Minicom started working only after rebooting the system.
