Renaming home folder

[Arwen]

@inkslinger, the Wiki instructions are these;

Code:

    Rename the rock user to your prefered username (replace myself with whatever you like):

# usermod -l myself -d /home/myself -m rock

However, with the state your account is in, those likely won't work any more.


It's fixable from the text console as user "root". But, we would need a bunch of information;

Code:

tail /etc/passwd /etc/shadow /etc/group
ls -la /home
ls -la /home/*

You can, if you like, blank out your user's encrypted password entry in "/etc/shadow". I'm just looking for the name to make sure it migrated to the new name.

With the above information we probably can help more. But then again, with the above information you will probably see what's wrong.
