Hello Lucy,
Again, thanks for the reply.
I cut and pasted the commands from your original email. I was able to
add the second user, but then the following occurred:-
sudo cp -a /home/valerie-tmp/ /home/valerie
cp: cannot create special file
`/home/valerie/valerie-tmp/.google/desktop/a1_sock': File exists
cp: cannot create special file
`/home/valerie/valerie-tmp/.google/desktop/a2_sock': File exists
cp: cannot create special file
`/home/valerie/valerie-tmp/.google/desktop/a3_sock': File exists
cp: cannot create special file
`/home/valerie/valerie-tmp/.google/desktop/a4_sock': File exists
Valerie is, of course, user2 and the error was indeed repeated as shown,
a1 being incremented to a4.
Any clues?
Regards,
Keith.
