How do I change my username?
- by Takkat
Some time ago when I installed Ubuntu I chose a rather stupid username for my account that I do not want to use anymore.
How do I change this (including the name of my home directory) without loosing settings for applications? How do I keep permissions and my keys for various authentification (e.g. email, SSH, GPG and more)? What settings could possibly get lost if I changed my username?
Both, command-line and graphical solutions are appreciated.
