Public bug reported: Binary package hint: userconfig
Freshly installed Kubuntu 9.10 with all updates applied as of 14-02-2010: Having created a new user with the wrong User ID (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/userconfig/+bug/521685), I try to change the User ID of a user: - Start System Settings -> Advanced -> User Mangement - Double-click on a user - In the resulting pop-up dialogue, click on the value of the "User ID" field => I don't get a cursor in that field and I cannot type in that field - hence, it is not possible to change the user ID. In combination with bug 521685, this means that there is no GUI way to create a user with a custom User ID. For completeness: Other fields in that dialogue can successfully be modified.
