I thought I'd give this another go, but when I was setting up the user, I typed "ls" in the home directory, then it asked me to confirm the account or the press Ctrl+C to cancel. I hit Ctrl+C (which didn't do anything). Anyway, I now only have a root account.
So I used the command line "useradd" to add my day-to-day user, and every time I try and log in with it, it says "Failed to execute login command"
What do I do now? How do I set my user up?
Edit: Found the solution. I needed to copy /root/.xinitrc to my home directory (as I had to create it myself)
Edit 2: Hmmm, this doesn't give me the same desktop as I had in root, left shoulder and mouse doesn't let me move windows, and alt and mouse doesn't give me a right click. How do I fix this?
Edit 3: Also can't run op_wifi.sh to enable the wireless "Sorry, user is not allowed to execute as root on darkstar."
