I'm using ubuntu 10.10. I wish to change my user id.
How can I change it without opening another account?
I tried using System->Administration->Users and Groups
but I got a message saying the user is logged in (which is true, that's me!).
Also tried using the shell:
dave@mypc:~$ sudo usermod -u 875 dave
[sudo] password for dave:
usermod: user dave is currently logged in
So what can I do?
