"sam-the-editor" is showing in both groups 1001 and 1002, but group 1001 is called "sam".
Suggest we start fresh, so before we continue, if there is any data saved to home of "sam-the-editor" in Lubuntu, save it off to a USB stick first.  (You can copy it back later.)

Boot into Lubuntu as "happyfamily" (not sam-the-editor).  Open a terminal and enter this command to delete "sam-the-editor" account including respective home files.

Code:

sudo userdel --remove sam-the-editor

Run this command again to see who shows up as users on computer (with ID# > 1000):

Code:

awk -F: '($3 >= 1000) {printf "%s:%s:%s\n",$1,$3,$4}' /etc/passwd

Hopefully you only see:

Code:

nobody:65534:65534
happyfamily:1000:1000

Assuming that went okay, run this command again to see what groups (with ID# > 1000) are still on computer:

Code:

awk -F: '($3 >= 1000) {printf "%s:%s\n",$1,$3}' /etc/group

I'm guessing it will show:

Code:

nogroup:65534
happyfamily:1000
sam:1001

Quote:Now create "sam-the-editor" account again and it should end up with UID and GID both being 1001.  Here's the command:

Code:

useradd -m -G adm,cdrom,dip,plugdev,users,lpadmin,sambashare -s /bin/bash sam-the-editor

P.s.  Will fix it in original post.

If you didn't set the password for "sam-the-editor" do that following instructions posted before.

If you want to reset a new password for "happyfamily" you can either do it through gui program, or with this terminal command when you're logged-in as "happyfamily":

Code:

passwd

It will ask you to enter the current password; then enter new password; then enter new one again to confirm it; done.

If not solved, you may want to also post question about that on Lubuntu forums in case nobody here knows the answer.  I've never used Lubuntu, so not familiar with how there gui may work.  Also not sure what setting "sam-the-editor" to "Desktop user" did and whether that may have affected (or not) the settings specified with the command I specified for setting up that user.  The whole point of using the command was to get the account setup exactly the same way as in LL.  If their defaults for "Desktop user" are not the same as in the command things may have changed.
