How do you create a user account from command line???
I installed Ubuntu from the CD... when the install got to the point where it asked to create a user account it continued to loop over & over & over like the Energizer Bunny (meaning I would enter a username, password, confirm the password and it would take me back to enter a username again)... finally, I just clicked cancel and thought I would be able to login as root and create a regular user account... the problem now is that I cant login as root from the console (it tells me the system administrator can't login from this page or something)... the only access I have is to select to boot in recovery mode from the boot loader, then when it enter my root password its accepted but I don't know how to create a user account from there... all the documentation I've read so far tells you have to create accounts from system>admin>user accounts>etc., but I can't login to the console to do it that way... does anyone know how to get to console using my root account or some other workaround??
