usermod and processes - TrekkingBob - 01-05-2018 I am trying to change the username from rock64 to something more personal. I have searched this forum and ubuntu's and in general. I am also running Xenial-Mate latest stable from the wiki. Fresh install to microSD. If it helps at all, I've created a temp user called temp. For reference, I've mainly followed this write up done on askubuntu.com. So I have made sure to not be logged into rock64 user when running the Code: sudo usermod -l rock64 <newuser> But I get this message "user rock64 is currently used by process 2245" even after having ran the command Code: sudo kill 2245 I have also been running these commands through the CLI when you hit ctl-alt-f1 at loggin. RE: usermod and processes - dkryder - 01-05-2018 i think you have to use root account to change rock64 name.

I have been able to change the username and password. Verified by reboot and CLI login before GUI Desktop Environemtn login. I believe I have associated the home directory. I was having issue then with logging into the desktop view the GUI login screen. No combination of old/new username/password worked for login. Specifically, I followed these steps from ask ubuntu, barring step 9. Quote: RE: usermod and processes - TrekkingBob - 01-07-2018 Tried to simply add a new user. Can add user, and CLI login, but no GUI desktop login. Fresh install xenial-mate-rock64-0.5.15-136-arm64.img.xz on SD card via Etcher on ubuntu 16.04 Boot to GUI login -> ctl-alt-f1 to terminal Change sudo password: Login as root - Code: sudo su Code: passwd Adduser Code: adduser <nickname> set Full name - <Wholefirstname> leave room/email/phone blank reboot GUI Login shows users: Rock64 and <Wholefirstname> select <Wholefirstname> use <nickname> password reports: Incorrect password, please try again And no combination of old and new user or root passwords work. Is there a step I am missing to simply add a user? Eventually I want Rock64 user replaced with my name, but keep the hostname as Rock64. I have tried changing the Rock64 user name as in previous posts, and now tried to add a user, and all with the same outcome (when commands and permissions done correctly) - Incorrect password, please try again |
