Public bug reported: Binary package hint: user-setup
As i was installing my ubuntu, I found out, that i am not able to use my native username "m_ax". So I continued installing with username "max". Than I changed my login in /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow and /etc/group to m_ax. But even when I open "Users and Groups" from Administration menu, edit my(m_ax) preferences, and click OK, I get error: Username have invalid characters. Before I was able to switch to "m_ax" name, i also tried adding line: NAME_REGEX="([a-zA-Z][_a-z]+){2,}" to /etc/adduser.conf After this step, I was able to add usernames with underscores "_" to names, but gnome "Users and Groups" still not in friedship with me :( Regards ** Affects: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Low Assignee: Ubuntu Desktop Bugs Status: Confirmed -- Don't accept underscore "_" in usernames https://launchpad.net/bugs/49296 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
