I was wondering which software do you use to create user manuals? Like in windows we use .chm files for user manuals and there are .chm file creators available.
Noticed in 10.04, under GNOME, opening the GIMP user manual from the help menu opens it in the help browser in a strange order:index, preface, iii, ii, biblio, A, B, C, i ...Not sure if this is the right place to mention this.

I recently created a new user account in ubuntu linux, and created a file called xsession so that I can boot directly into xmbc when I log into that account. Is there anyway to delete the home folder for that account. I can view the file but when I try to delete it is says I do not have apporite permisions to delete the file.
I removed the account and deleted the group but it still shows up when I type in the address /home/xmbc
Is there anyway I can delete this file. It also will not let me create any new user accounts is there any way I can fix these prolbems without totaly reinstalling the system.
I have network with Kubuntu server with 5 pcs all of them are using windows XP. The network is already designed for sharing files and folders. I have to create a new user and a share folder, also given permission to that user to access this folder.

I have just installed an SSD as a secondary hard drive and formatted as ext4. (the Ubuntu installation is on a different drive)how I would go about creating a directory on the SSD that is owned by the user 'Test user'.
I have a requirement to create more than one user (one initial user with sudoer privs and one "user" user that has no special privs) upon installation of xubuntu 10.04 or 10.10 (doesn't matter). My goal is to create a "automatic" installation process with as little user interaction as possible through use of preseeding and remastersys so that all the programs and their configurations are set upon first boot. If this is not possible, (which I don't believe it is, but it's Linux!) then I think I can make use of a bash script that will run on first boot of the operating system and then delete itself so that it does not run again. My questions are:
* Is there anyway to create more than one user upon or during installation? * If no to the above, how would I go about making a bash script that runs on first boot and deletes itself after being ran?
I have just installed an SSD as a secondary hard drive and formatted as ext4. (the Ubuntu installation is on a different drive) Im very new to linux, Could someone inform me how I would go about creating a directory on the SSD that is owned by the user 'Test user'
Im sorry if this is a daft question, im just moving from windows to linux and struggling a lot.
Can anyone using kde4.7 from R47 repo please try creating a new user and see if you get this with the panel. SUSE Paste My current user is fine, which came through the upgrade from 4.6
I've a user account in a remote machine. but it doesn't have a home directory in that machine.Is it possible to create a home directory without having root account details. If yes, how it can be done.
I am looking at creating two user accounts for "contract system admins"..These guys will be performing sys admin duties for a sever -- however, I am still concerned about security of data. For example, the server contains password information for our database, etc.Besides making them sign an NDA, etc. what other security mechanisms could I put in place to ensure that they don't just go buck wild. For example, when someone makes a sudo command, is this logged?
what are some recommendations for general security practices?

I'm configuring a fresh install of Debian 8 and I'm having a problem creating new user accounts, using XFCE.I'm using the console for setting new user accounts, without any problems yet when I log in the user accounts to check if everything is ready to use I get a persistent message from the system warning the session is in kiosk mode.I've went through several step by step guides I've found over the net, went to the XFCE wiki trying to find an answer for this, with no success. I've even tried deleting user accounts and recreating it but the problem persists.
i want to Restrict a particular user from creating a file beyond a prticular size.ie he should not be able to create a prticular size [say 10mb] but he can use upto 10 gb.[ not the quota space i mean]
I have a small office network here which consists of three machines running Fedora 10 and a dev server running CentOS 5.2. I have no Windows machines, and have no intention of having any. I would like to use the CentOS server as the Linux equivalent to a domain controller in Windows. Use case is simple - I will still have a local root account on each machine, obviously, but I want the three staff users to be network accounts. I want them (like a Windows domain) to be able to login on any computer using their network user credentials and *not* have local credentials on any computer.
I've been Googling like mad on this, but I can't find a definitive answer or a sensible HOWTO for this use case in Linux. Others have suggested I do it all in Samba, but I cannot find an example Samba configuration that behaves as I describe above. Another article I found suggested OpenLDAP.I'm lost. What's the best way to do this with a CentOS controller machine and Fedora 10 workstations? Can anyone point me to some good resources on the matter?
This may be a rookie mistake, but I created a user (new user) in Linux on a Ubuntu system and didn't actually create the home directory for this user. Now, when I log in, it says there are problems... If I delete the path home/<new user> and try to log in the system tells me I can use root as home directory but I will likely experience problems, and then it won't let me log in. What is the best way to create this directory with the appropriate permissions? Should I just create another user and delete this one?
I recently used the newusers command to generate several user accounts from a text file. That process seemed to go well until I tried to su into one of the new accounts.
This behavior appears for all the accounts that were created from the text file and the newusers command. It seems that several configuration files that should have been autogenerated for these new users were never created. I was able to confirm this was the problem by copying .bashrc and .bash_profile from a user that was created with the "useradd" command into the /home/newaccount directory. After logging off and logging into the newaccount again, the issue is corrected.For the record, I just read this forum post and I'm looking for an alternative to this. If this is the most efficient way to accomplish my goal, then I'll try the route mentioned in the thread. I'm still open to alternatives.

i've installed directory server in a fedora 12 box, i got it running and i can access it using coldfusion to manage users and groups.i hit a snag when creating a user, this because coldfusion cannot generate a password, the directory server needs a certificate and a ssl connection.so i started googling for a way to generate and install a certificate on the server itself and in the directory.s is my administration server and directory(it's novabase directory) not the other one.
I am looking to create a user to be able to do WinSCP or SSH into the system and only be able to see /var/www/html/joomla/ and that is it. I don't want them to be able to start or stop service but be able to upload and download files to the specific directory or change privileges of the mentioned directory. Is that possible? what commands should I run.
