How do I reinstall LL safely in a win7/zorin/lubuntu/LL multiboot?
#6
Yes, if you decide to do away with Lubuntu, you can use Gparted to do that.  Can do that from either the LL install or live dvd/usb.  After it's deleted, just run sudo update-grub in a terminal in LL to eliminate its entry from grub menu.  No need to do anything in Windows.


I'm not familiar with Lubuntu so can't give gui instructions to add user; but can probably give terminal command if you post the output of following from terminals in both LL and Lubuntu.


Login to LL on son's computer under his username.


Open a terminal, enter these commands and copy/paste result back here:
Code:
id
groups


Shutdown, reboot into Lubuntu.  Login under your username if you haven't set anything at all for him yet.  Login with his username if you have set already, but don't have him added to all necessary groups.


If logged in as yourself, paste back result of this:
Code:
groups


If logged in as him, paste back:
Code:
id
groups


When you post back, don't forget to tell us which results go with LL vs. Lubuntu.  Basically, the plan is to setup his user account on Lubuntu with the same privileges you assigned to him on LL.
