12.04 - cannot define a further user.

what you doing for adding a user ??

do as follows

open terminal by CLTR+ALT+T then run command

sudo useradd -p <user_name>

(it will ask you first your current user password after that it will ask for new password for new user)

Thanks

Many thanks, but your suggestion did not work. The reply to 'sudo
useradd -p <uid>' (after I entered my admin password) was a list of options.

I had originally defined a user via 'system settings' > 'User Accounts'
with a password. On logging off from my admin user and attempting to
logon to the new user, the screen issues a three line message that
disappears to quickly for me to read it and returns to the login panel.

try logging in Ubuntu 2D

and sorry for useradd command

you have to enter password in same line either for example ..

sudo useradd <username> -p <password>

or you can do it with another step ..

sudo useradd <username>

the change password using

sudo passwd <username>

Thanks and sorry for wrong steps.

Sorry for the last mail with no text.

I was now able to define the user via 'useradd <uid> -p <pw>'. The
system appears to have accepted the definition, but the user does not a
appear on ubuntu's login panel.

Thanks in advance,

i think you doing something wrong .. what exactly you doing ??

useradd <use_name> do not enter word uid here ... give a user name for example

sudo useradd thomas

then

sudo passwd thomas

Neways come to you original problem

have you tried with ubuntu 2D did you able to login with ubuntu 2D

A slight misunderstanding here. I used 'uid' as a token for the user
name and 'pw' as a token for the password, both of which I entered
correctly in the command.

I could not log on to ubuntu or onto ubuntu 2D (what is that, by the
way?) with user defined via user accounts in systems settings.

I could not log on to ubuntu with the user defined on the terminal,
because that user does not appear in the logon panel.

Thanks.

suggest you first connect to internet and issue this command in terminal..

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

then try again...

if still problem persist suggest you to report a bug..

thanks

Good morning.

I entered the 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade' command and
got the following error messages:

    W: Failed to fetch
    http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/universe/source/Sources
    404 Not Found [IP: 141.30.13.10 80]

    E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or
    old ones used instead.

I then tried to login anyway, with ubuntu AND with ubuntu2D and with
auto login set to 'OFF', and was still returned to the login panel
without the user logging on.
