Thread: Add newuser (change default)


hi,

adding new users (children, spouse) home computer, (just installed xubuntu) , have spent quite bit of time getting desktop configured way it. there simple way have default layout new users added. save great deal of time.

thanks,

doug

tried putting .config/xfce4 file in newuser .config folder didn't work. got same background of settings, none of launchers, old panels etc.

according to:

http://www.ambience.sk/old/user-account-copy-linux

copying of hidden ("dot something") files , directories should make same config. make sure change ownership new user, otherwise things go badly wrong account. also, don't want email passwords, chat configs, internet settings, copied, suggest:

a) caution. check account can before let them use it.

b) copying .config folder.

let know how goes.
