Hi. Is there a way to change the main user name?

Thanks in advance.

1) Open a terminal and type in:
Code: sudo leafpad /etc/pm/sleep.d/20_custom-ehci_hcd
2) Paste the following code into the file, save then close it.
Code: #!/bin/sh
#inspired by http://art.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9744970&postcount=19
#...and http://thecodecentral.com/2011/01/18/fix-ubuntu-10-10-suspendhibernate-not-working-bug
# tidied by tqzzaa :)
VERSION=1.1
DEV_LIST=/tmp/usb-dev-list
DRIVERS_DIR=/sys/bus/pci/drivers
DRIVERS="ehci xhci" # ehci_hcd, xhci_hcd
HEX="[[:xdigit:]]"
MAX_BIND_ATTEMPTS=2
BIND_WAIT=0.1
unbindDev() {
echo -n > $DEV_LIST 2>/dev/null
for driver in $DRIVERS; do
DDIR=$DRIVERS_DIR/${driver}_hcd
for dev in `ls $DDIR 2>/dev/null | egrep "^$HEX+:$HEX+:$HEX"`; do
echo -n "$dev" > $DDIR/unbind
echo "$driver $dev" >> $DEV_LIST
done
done
}
bindDev() {
if [ -s $DEV_LIST ]; then
while read driver dev; do
DDIR=$DRIVERS_DIR/${driver}_hcd
while [ $((MAX_BIND_ATTEMPTS)) -gt 0 ]; do
echo -n "$dev" > $DDIR/bind
if [ ! -L "$DDIR/$dev" ]; then
sleep $BIND_WAIT
else
break
fi
MAX_BIND_ATTEMPTS=$((MAX_BIND_ATTEMPTS-1))
done
done < $DEV_LIST
fi
rm $DEV_LIST 2>/dev/null
}
case "$1" in
hibernate|suspend) unbindDev;;
resume|thaw) bindDev;;
esac
3) Make the file executable, in the same terminal type in:
Code: sudo chmod 755 /etc/pm/sleep.d/20_custom-ehci_hcd
Source: http://thecodecentral.com/2011/01/18/fix...orking-bug
Working on 1.0.6, need confirmation this will work on 1.0.8 please.

| Installing Netflix |

Hello...new to Linux and know almost nothing. I tried to install Netflix from the Help Manual and tried copying and pasting this: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ehoover/compholio
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install netflix-desktop
My computer would only paste the first line then asked for my password. Don't I need both lines together? Or should I go with the first line-enter, wait till all that is done, then paste or type the 2nd line??? I tried to manually type the two lines in and couldn't get it on two lines as shown in the manual. Sigh...I might need Help Manual for Dummies. :-\ Thanks for taking pity on me!

| Can't choose to install LL besides the existing OSs |

Hello, friends.
When I run the installation program after I booted LinuxLite via USB, I cannot choose then to install this OS besides the other two which are already installed. The only options shown me is to erase the Lubuntu OS and install LinuxLite, to erase all and install LL or to do "something else [setting partitions and so on]".
So why can't I install LL for Dual-Boot as I did already with Lubuntu?
Another issue: The keyboard is messed by dealing with LL started via USB. I use a netbook and it seems like, the numpad has assigned to regular buttons on the keyboard. So pushing "j k l" I get "1 2 3", pushing "u i o" I get "4 5 6" and so on.
I'd be glad if you could help me.

I have a 2009 Fujitsu Esprimo Mobile 250 Gb and 2 Gb Ram and 3 USB's and a DVD.
Win XP 32 Sp3 has C drive , sda 1 84Gb NTFS and D drive 78 Gb sda 5 which is full of documents mainly, NTFS and E: drive sda 6 which is 88 Gb and NTFS and which I have emptied of all but less than 1 Gb of stuff in order to put Linux Lite 1.08 on it .
I have 30 Gb free space in drive C for my XP work.
I have been told to 1. Delete drive E , sda 6 and create 2 logical partitions ONE of 50Ggb NTFS and the Second Linux /ext4 root partition + Linux Swap space of 1-2 Ggb and to leave about 8-10 Ggb of unallocated space for windows .
I am unsure what to do
1. I will select the "something else option" 2. I will select sda 6 then a) Do I format the whole E drive? b) When I select 50Ggb for the NTFS partition do I select DOS or Windows in the mount menu? c) What will that NTFS partition be used for ? With XP or with Linux? d) To do this I must write it to disc and there is no undoing after that point . e) Linux Swap has to be 1-2 Ggb or can I make it more to improve my RAM ability? which is 2Ggb?....It seems my /ext4 Linux partition will be about 25-27 Ggb.I need to know also what MOUNTING is or does and f) What names do I give the partitions and mounts .
The Linux Lite OS Installation guide is inadequate and does not explain what to do with these issues .
I would appreciate your guidance there.
