yeah sudo quit working due to permission problems during the operation. This is why you need to create a root password first, and login as root to make the user modification. sudo password root then you log off the graphical interface switch to terminal (ctrl-F1) login as root make the modifications go back to the graphical login (ctrl-F7 or F8) then login as your normal user, and that's all. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Write once.
