    Tirft - 2016-10-09

    Hello Guys,
    Forgive my ignorance, I am really a noob here. I tried to add a standard user with sudo privilege like we can have in Kali linux through gui version of adding new user. But here I tried to do it via terminal at first with "useradd" but it failed me even get into the system with "startx". Then I went with "adduser". It did the work but there is no conky or any other options like we have in root interface. Now like a jackass, I tried gnome-system-tools to add user without any result. Again, forgive my ignorant ase. Now, how can I add a non root user without losing anything we have as a root user.
    Sincerely,
    Tirft

    Hello,
    All config files are inside de home directory of the root user, you must import all of these files inside the home directory of the new user or inside the skel directory before you create a new user.
