Being that is was 2 years ago, I don't remember exactly what I did. I can only assume at this point, since I am not in a position right now to replicate this issue and try to work around it again. However I will try to give instructions to help, so be aware that I might not be giving sufficient instructions. I am assuming you can access the terminal in some form, and hopefully know at least the basics of working with the terminal.
Create a new user using the adduser command, you can use the following link to a tutorial on how to do it: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-add-and-delete- users-on-ubuntu-18-04 You will want to grant the new user sudoers privileges, so be sure to follow those instructions as well. After creating a new user, copy the files from the old user's home directory to the new user's home directory, specifically the .config directory so your app configurations are saved. It may be best to copy everything over. Assuming you are still logged into the old user, the best way is via the terminal with a modified version of this command: sudo cp ~/* /home/<new_username>/ Otherwise, use this command: sudo cp /home/<old_username>/* /home/<new_username> Of course, replace <old_username> with the old user name, and <new_username> with the new user name. This is the same with the following command, but be sure to leave the colon in place. Use chown to make sure the new user has the appropriate permissions: sudo chown <new_username>: /home/<new_username>/* Log out and log into the new user to see if everything is working fine before proceeding to delete the old user. Use the same tutorial in the link above to delete a user. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1753159 Title: Openbox Syntax Error lubuntu-rc.xml is Empty To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lubuntu-default-settings/+bug/1753159/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
