Pinebook Pro - change default user - fonske - 01-23-2020

Hi all,

First thing we did was make another user than "rock" with the adduser command. Should've changed the password of "rock" immediately I guess.
The new user logged us in a gnome desktop with no functional trackpad.
When Chrome was launched (logged in as "rock") we saw "Fres-news.com" was already installed.

We followed the steps in the https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/Pinebook_Pro under 2.1.1 to change from "rock" to another user.

Chrome was removed because going to settings to try to remove Fres-news always gave an error once you move the pointer in the settings tab.

1) Anyone else got infected by fres-news?
2) If anyone could tell me how to add users to Mate desktop, I'd be grateful.

As for adding user can't help there as all I did was change the password and renamed rock to my name.

I was using xarchiver to extract an android image I downloaded.  I received an error message during this and now I can only login as root. 

I can no longer login as rock.

It tries to login when I login as rock but it just keeps coming back to the login.

Any ideas how to fix?
