Generally there are two drawing applications you might wish to use, they both fulfil different goals. you have on one hand 'gimp'. this is whats known as a bitmap editor, its preferred if your going to be doing painting like operations and manipulating photos/other graphical images On the other hand is the quite excellent Inkscape, its what is known as a 'vector editor' which means that instead of painting colour like you do in gimp, you instead draw lines and construct images based on that. Essentially if you want to draw images, go for inkscape. if you want to paint images, go for gimp. they are both excellent software however (so play about and choose whats best for you) -- Gordon Allott [EMAIL PROTECTED] signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.org/UKTeam/

[ubuntu-uk] Password recovery
Thanks for the suggestions. I do have root access and I had already tried sudo passwd and I get the response passwd: unknown user (user2). That is why I had also tried System-Administration-Users and Groups to add (user2). The response to that was Home directory already exists. I have tried to change the name of that directory without success. So it seems that I'm still stumped! Cheers, Keith. --- Keith Bowerman, Prestwood, south Staffs, England.

I have tried to change the name of that directory without success. Keith, I don't have the thread in front of me but I seem to remember you reinstalling or similar at some point? It sounds like user2 has been removed from the system but its data hasn't. The easiest thing to do might be to rename the home directory, readd the user and then copy the data back across. So, in a terminal type: sudo mv /home/user2 /home/user2-tmp Then go to System-Administration-Users and Groups to add user2. Then do: sudo cp -a /home/user2-tmp/ /home/user2 The -a should keep the permissions intact (assuming the new user2 has the same user id as the previous user2). I think it will also copy all of the hidden (.*) files, but can't remember off the top of my head so it might be worth checking. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.org/UKTeam/
