Recently I installed Linux Mint 17 Qiana with Mate desktop, downloaded from the Linux Mint website. All works fine but I am not able to create new user in "Users and Groups" GUI tool.
Opened "Users and Group" GUI from menu. Default "Users" tab is selected.
Clicked on "Add" button "Add User" window appeared with following fields "Account Type", "Full Name", "Username".
Entered "Account Type" as "Standard", "Full Name" as "Newuser" and "Username" as "Newusername" and clicked "Add" button but the window is not responsive.
On googling I found "useradd" command. Tried the following command
useradd "Newusername" -p "12345"
. Closed and opened the "Users and Groups" GUI and I can see "Newusername" in the Users list.Selected "Switch User". Tried to login "Newusername" with the give password "12345" but the system shows up "Wrong Username or Password" error.
Note : I have run update manager and installed all the update. Update manager now shows message "Your system is up to date"
Can any one help make work "Users and Group" GUI and access the user account created from command line.
