Running Intrepid 8.10 i386. Made the decision of adding another user with admin privileges. However while choosing a name ended up calling this new user "admin".
Stupid decision as it was, I'm to blame entirely, but the Gnome "Users and Groups" accepted without further notice. In the next boot I found out that all my sudo privileges had gone (the group "admin" vanished). Entered the root terminal, fixed things up (I was happy to find a valid group copy in an old /etc directory, just for comparison), but kept wandering if a dumb decision like mine shouldn't be forbidden, some user names just prohibited. -- Changing users randomly affects other users and group memberships https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/26338 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
