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?
