How do I reinstall LL safely in a win7/zorin/lubuntu/LL multiboot?

@gold_finger - my apologies for the delay in getting back to you. In reply to your previous post

I forgot you had Zorin on there as well, but see that you went ahead and changed that too.  Good job.

As I understand it, when you run [i]id[/i] command in both Zorin and LL it shows UID and GID = 1001.  Correct?

Yes, that's correct...

If so, run these two commands in Lubuntu terminal and let's see who shows up as GID=1001.



List users (and their respective UID, GID) with a UID equal to or greater than 1000 as listed in /etc/passwd file:
Code:
awk -F: '($3 >= 1000) {printf "%s:%s:%s\n",$1,$3,$4}' /etc/passwd

List groups with a GID equal to or greater than 1000 as listed in /etc/group file:
Code: awk -F: '($3 >= 1000) {printf "%s:%s\n",$1,$3}' /etc/group

Copy/Paste results back here.

The output from Lubuntu's terminal is as follows:

Code:

happyfamily@happyfamily-X71Q:~$ awk -F: '($3 >= 1000) {printf "%s:%s:%s\n",$1,$3,$4}' /etc/passwd
nobody:65534:65534
happyfamily:1000:1000
sam-the-editor:1001:1002
happyfamily@happyfamily-X71Q:~$ awk -F: '($3 >= 1000) {printf "%s:%s\n",$1,$3}' /etc/group
nogroup:65534
happyfamily:1000
sam:1001
sam-the-editor:1002
happyfamily@happyfamily-X71Q:~$
