[10:00] <larry> hi everyone, I just installed and made a mistake. need to change username
[10:03] <larry> anyone help ?
[10:12] <tomreyn> hi larry
[10:13] <tomreyn> i must admit i haven't used ubuntu *mate* specifically, but i know that other ubuntu flavors let you add and remove users in settings
[10:15] <tomreyn> the best way to change your username is probably to create a new user (with superuser/admin permissions), then logout,  and login to that, then copy all the files from the old user to the new one, and recursively update their owner to the new user, and then delete the old user.
[10:45] <larry> thanks, sadly there does not seem to be a option in settings for user changes, leastwise I haven't been bale to find it.
[10:46] <larry> able
[11:26] <tomreyn> larry: you can add a new user using the "adduser" command on a terminal emulator, with sudo

[11:26] <tomreyn> https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jammy/en/man8/deluser.8.html to remove a user
