I did not manually add the user but I have had sudo privileges because I checked the box with regard to administrator privileges while installing long long ago. I had no idea that id was a command (thanks!) but here is what it says: uid=1000(username) gid=1000(username) groups=1000(username),7(lp) context=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 In the above, username replaces my actual user name.
