Looks like usermod should scan the filesystem for files that belong to a user if his uid is changed. Moving this bug to shadow-utils (usermod) Oh, that's excessively painful. I'd be inclined to just leave it as a wontfix. Agreed - it would probably cause more trouble than it's worth. |
I had to change user id. I typed usermod -u id# user_name ID was succesfully changed (I checked it ). I log out and log in again, gnome did not start ( black screen with cursor on it ). FIX: kill.gnome-session from other machine, cd /tmp; rm -rf orbit-user_name, then logout and login again. Irina Kaliman, System Administrator, University of Miami
