[SOLVED] How to add users by terminal to Kubuntu

[kasunbg]

Hey all,
I'm a newbie to kubuntu. I installed Kubuntu last week and as I'm curious I enabled the transparency feature in it. As I has only 256 of RAM and 32MB VGA( Shocked ) my desktop became a total blank so I couldn't see anything! (I see something happens there, when I press some buttons but not exactly.)

I managed to restart kubuntu by terminal(using Ctrl+Alt+F1) and it loads to the welcome screen without problem.But I can not change the transparency settings because my user a/c is a complete blank .

Will somebody tell me a solution for this. I have only this user with admin rights, So I'm helpless.

Thanks for the help!

Hey, Thanks. I tried it. It works but I don't have admin rights in it, is there?
My that a/c password doesn't have rights to mount partitions and to open KUser app.

No, as a default the first user only has sudo admin rights under ubuntu. If you want to add more I would suggest checking

man sudoers

Re: how to add users by command prompt

To add admin rights for user, you can add that user to the 'admin' group (by default, *buntus sudo is configured to give admin group the right to sudo).

You can do this on the command line with the command

sudo adduser username admin

(replace 'username' with the actual username)
