[02:24] no, i did "useradd tanner" [02:24] Do not use useradd [02:24] What shall I use instead? [02:25] adduser [02:26] useradd is a low-level command invoked by adduser [02:26] oh [02:31] I don't see anything wrong with using useradd. If you want to change the default shell, just use the -s option [02:31] or use usermod to change the shell after the fact [02:33] Pilif12p, do "sudo usermod -s /bin/bash tanner" to change the default shell for tanner to bash [02:33] urgh, i can't delete users now [02:34] meh. fixed it [02:34] thanks octanium [02:34] and octillion [02:34] octillion: yes, but presumably he's enough of a newbie that adduser's hand-holding is beneficial [02:34] You're right that I should've mentioned chsh (or usermod -s), though.

It's a problem with either compiz, or unity and ldap. Or maybe NFS. I have no idea after trying to find out why. :-) [18:20] Pici: Disable Lock Screen and Disable User Switching will work. -- Great, that should help with the Firefox and Thunderbird lock problem. -- It won't help with the OpenOffice problem though. But a step closer to more sane computing (and less yelling at the Linux machines) [18:25] hi, just got all the way though to "configure package manager" and for some reason it decided to disconnect the usb which it was installing to.
