Hi,
I am on a single-account F27 system with an user id 1000. I want to change this user id.
From what I understand, I should do the following:
sudo usermod -u 54321 <username>
However, when I do this, I get:
usermod: user <username> is currently used by process 866
I guess that this has to do with the fact that I am logged in (to do this). How do I get
around this point? There is no root on the system but I do have sudo access.
Separately, I want all my files and directory owned by 1000 to move to this user id (so
that I can have access)? Is this automatic or do I have to run chown -R <username>
etc?
Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan
