Changing full name

[dijxtra]

I mistyped my own name when installing Kubuntu 10.4 and realised it only recently. How do I change it? :-)

I tried chfn, but it complains about "name with non-ASCII characters" and won't change my name. Google is not usefull... So, what is the proper KDE way to change my full name?

Under

System > Administration > Users and Groups

You can change the basic data.

Are you sure you are talking about KDE? I'd say you are talking about vanilla Ubuntu.

I'm a Ubuntu (Maverick) user, as it states under my company logo ... but I googled up a picture of what says to be Kubuntu and that (above mentioned) menu entries are shown.

Ah, that's KDE 3.x :-) It doesn't apply to KDE 4.

Man, sorry if you felt I was ungrateful, because I'm not :-) Thank you very much for the effort :-)

Ah, here it is. System Settings -> Advanced -> System -> User Management. Was right infront of my nose all the time.

Don't panic ;) its just, I don't know KDE that well, so I try to help, but also assume a lot (that's risky).

Anyhow, if it helped, please mark the thread as solved.
