I configured automatic login to guest account but deleted it later and now cant login to my other account coz ubuntu is looking for missing account at startup.

If you use System > Administration > User and Group to delete a user in Karmic Koala (Ubuntu 9.10), the user will be deleted but the /home/username folder will still be there.

I used the following to remove the /home/username folder:

Recreated the user account in Terminal.
# sudo adduser username

After account was created I deleted the account in TERMINAL:
# sudo deluser –remove-home username

@Moh
Users should be in the same group with the required permissions for that folder

Hi,
so how to share a folder (music, pictures) with the other user(s) on the same machine? does it have to be on the same group or how?

Many thanks

@Atis

First you need to login with required permissions so that you can delete,modify user accounts

Doe’s not working in Karmic. I can modify, delete another account, but there’s no changes after reboot.
