User Account setup problem in LL/lubuntu/zorin/win7 multiboot

[size=1em]This thread follows on from https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/insta...multiboot/, whose original objective was solved, though the issue of setting up the account on Lubuntu for my son (which followed on from this) remains unresolved.  I'm therefore setting up this thread to address the user account setup in lubuntu.  My sincere apologies for the delay in replying to your instructions -  I have copied and pasted my reply to you below - just want to reiterate that I greatly value your help.[/size]

You said (gold_finger):
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 id command in both Zorin and LL it shows UID and GID = 1001.  Correct?

[size=1em]Me: Yes, that's correct...[/size]


You: 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.

Me: The output from Lubuntu's terminal is as follows:

Code:
