Hi listmates
- On a virginal SuSE11 I created my own user account during setup. It's danish and life is good :-)
- From another SuSE(very old) I then manually copied/edited /etc/password, /etc/shadow, /etc/group with a few users. I then manually created their homedirs with correct ownerships and all. Thus; YaST was not involved in setting up the users.
This has also a problem: the system also needs some "system" users, that may be different from those in the old version. You could keep the file installed by yast, and then add the lines for your moved files, with an editor.
It all is fine, eh..except their desktops are in the default english language.
Where/how to I change that?
Depends. On kde, you define it somewhere in the control center. Gnome takes it from the environment. In either case, it doesn't have anything to do with the password files, but with "home" files.
I know that it happened - of course - because the system didn't get a chance to run the proper "adduser" routines. Any ideas..
I'm not sure of that. :-? Was your system so old as to have a different kde version? I mean was 2.xx and is 3.xx, or was 3.xx and is 4.xx? - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
