At the first boot up I was asked to create a user so I typed in the information. When I went to run Linux again the user name and pw were not accepted so I logged in as root. When I looked at the user list (in User Manager) it was empty. Now here is the strange thing. I add the user jim and input a pw in the Create New User gui. When I click on OK the hour glass just keeps going and going and going ... . I have left the house and come back over two hours later and the new user is still not created!
What am I missing here? Where should I start to look? Obviously I do not want to keep running Linux as root. I would appreciate your help.
- you should update your system-config-users package
(which version is available) $ rpm -q system-config-users system-config-users-1.2.25-1 $ rhn-applet-tui | grep config system-config-users 1.2.27 0.fc3.1
(update eg. with yum) # yum update system-config-users
- you can create a user as root # useradd jim # passwd jim
-- shrek-m
