[sloved] groups problem

I accidentally removed my groups with usermod, so that now I'm only in group archnildon:
-G, --groups GROUP1[,GROUP2,...[,GROUPN]]]
           A list of supplementary groups which the user is also a member of. Each group is separated from the next by a comma, with no intervening
           whitespace. The groups are subject to the same restrictions as the group given with the -g option. If the user is currently a member of a
           group which is not listed, the user will be removed from the group. This behaviour can be changed via the -a option, which appends the user to
           the current supplementary group list.

Which groups I should be in? I just know that for getting sound to work I must be in audio group. But maybe there are other groups and thats why I'm asking.

/etc/group:

root::0:root
bin::1:root,bin,daemon
daemon::2:root,bin,daemon
sys::3:root,bin
adm::4:root,daemon
tty::5:
disk::6:root
lp::7:daemon
mem::8:
kmem::9:
wheel::10:root
ftp::11:
mail::12:
uucp:x:14:
log::19:root

Re: [sloved] groups problem

audio (sound), video (some Xorg drivers need it for DRI, also needed for TV stuff), optical (DVD etc), floppy (if you have one), storage (USB sticks), lp (printing), scanner & camera (again, if you have the hardware)
