Make new users after Linux is installed??
I just tried IRC and it called me stupid becuase i was logged in as root, so i pressed okay and it banned me. Now how do i make a new account since it doesnt like root for whatever reason?
I found the user manager but im confused becuase im presented with alot of "options". |
in terminal use
adduser USERNAMEHERE or just spend a little bit more time in the user manager. |
Thanks scotty!

Ok, i made the user in the konsole and changed the password in the user manager, but when i try to login using that username it would accept my password and after a few seconds crash back into the login screen (graphical login screen).
Any ideas what i am doing wrong? i would just use root as the user but IRC bans me if i do. |
Don't worry about user manager for now, it's much easier without it
these two commands are all you need for basic users adduser david passwd david now if you want to add the user to a certain group then try this... gpasswd -a david groupname the group must already exist to create groups use ... groupadd groupname |
Thanks man, its smokin'' now. Its amazing how everything you need to do can be figured out or done inside the "KONSOLE".

Cool
Yea it's usually easier just to type a couple of commands instead of dragging out a lot of gui stuff |
