I installed Fedora 19 recently but wasn't paying attention when
setting up the username
portion of the installation. As a result I had an abbreviated form
of my full name as a user name.
So I used the system utility to change is to my preferred username.
Problem is my home directory is still named my old username and at
lightdm logon I have
to type in my new username and password ( which is the same). The
logon screen doesn't offer
me my new name, but still offers the old name. Anyway to fix ???
* log out
* CTRL+ALT+F2
* login as root in the terminal
* mv /home/olderuser /home/newuser
* nano /etc/passwd
* edit the line with your user, looks like below
* systemctl restart lightdm.service
if you don't have "nano" installed use vi or whatever
console editor or "yum install nano"

Did all the above but lightdm still only offers a login under my
real name.
I'd like to get it back to how it was earlier...that is my login name
as my
username..not as my real name.

It appears Lightdm uses only the real name as a choice..anything else
and you have to type in in as "other"
Yup. Had to re-edit passwd and change my real name to
my-almost-real-name
and then lightdm offers to let him login.
Teach me to doze while installing :)
