Easy one I hope. LMDE5, trying to add a user. According to various sites I checked, it’s easy enough, go to control panel, users and groups, click on add, and fill in the details, and bob’s your uncle… Except that it didn’t work, still just the one user on the log in screen. Tried giving the new user the same permissions as the current one, no dice, have also rebooted, and nothing. So, either I missed something, or the system isn’t behaving, but either way, I could use a hand with this, thanks.
Can you share the lines from
/etc/passwd
for your user and the user your adding? Despite its name, there are no passwords here, that is in/etc/shadow
Edit: can you
su
to login as the user?
