The sequence as far as I can remeber is: 1) Log in as temp
2) Create new user with admin privileges 3) Close users-admin and log out 4) Log in as newly created admin user 5) Delete temp I'm sure it's this way round because at that point the user you're logged in as loses their admin privileges so you can even re-run users- admin to put back the privileges you just lost. You have to boot from a resuce disk to restore the permissions so there is an admin on the system again. -- users-admin removes privileges after deleting user https://launchpad.net/bugs/49815 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
