I have 2 ubuntuone accounts. I am logged it to the first I created, and my ubuntu natty pc folders are synced with that account.  I want to switch my ubuntu pc to the second account, but I can't find the way. If I disconnect from the first account, the client should give me the possibility to choose another account; on the contrary, I can't see any way to change the account data.  Am I blind?

I would like to use 1 account for keeping private files synchronised and another for business files, which will be read by others. I have different e-mail addresses for business and private.  The private arrangement is between home, office and laptop. The business arrangement is between these plus business partners.  I have tried setting up this arrangement but my efforts are not successful. Is thus possible? If so, how do I instruct the Ubuntu One Manager which folder should be synchronised in which account?

I am a newbie in linux. I wanted to install ubuntu to my desktop. I currently have two partitions, Windows 8 in installed on one, and i have some important files in another partition. While installing ubuntu, if I chose "Replace Windows 8 with Ubuntu", do I lose the other partition too?   And are there other ways to leave the other partition as it is, and install ubuntu in the partition  where windows was installed.

So the problem is that account 1 and account 2 bought a game together, but account 1 isn't used anymore. Can we transfer the game license from account 1 to account 3?   The game was bought on account 1 and account 2 activated account 1 as primary.

I want to have more than one user logged on at the same time, on the same computer. Each user should have a full X session. It is easy enough to log in to multiple concurrent non-X Linux terminals, but I want the X factor. Maybe I've missed something, but I only see a Main Menu option to Log out of the current user, and nothing for Switch User. Is there a simple way to do this?

I am going to be buying a second hard drive for my desktop here pretty soon, because my current hard drive is a piece of junk running windows 7. What I want to know is how to install Ubuntu on the second drive. I am looking for a non complicated answer as I am not familiar with the Ubuntu lingo. I am so sick of Windows.. I used Ubuntu before but it didn't work properly. When I installed it, it said I didn't have enough space... Even though I had 600GB to use. Anyway if anyone can help me out it would be much appreciated. Thanks

I have set up two user logins on my computer, one for home and one for work. I would like to be able to share any of my bash and vim settings between the two users. Is there anyway to do this? Thus far, I've been copying them from one account to another, but I'd like to be able to just have one file between the two so I can make changes in only one place. Is this even possible? Thanks.

I'd like to join three ideas into one interesting and sometimes useful feature. There was a question about using multiple passwords earlier this year, but it didn't receive much attention. I'd like to ask the question again after showing an interesting and new way to use the feature. The three original posts I found to be interestingly combined were:        Basically I'd like to login to my account with two passwords and depending on the password I use, I would get a different content in my home directory. In a way I would get a cryptographically hidden account into my system. So the question is, is it possible to allow multiple passwords to log on to Ubuntu/Linux for the same user?

Since Ubuntu one is no longer it appears that Sync between computers no longer works.  Is there a new method to do this?  I'd like to sync the apps from one machine to another.

I have a Gmail address with my employer, a personal Gmail address, and a Gmail address for my personal business.  My girfriend also has a Gmail address she uses on the same PC. Currently this requires much logging in/out to switch between everything because besides Gmail I use Google Docs, App Engine, and other sites that use the same credentials.  Is there a way to keep all of these accounts open in the same browser at the same time without constantly having to log in/out?

What is the different between an Normal user account and the Admin account in Ubuntu?  You must always enter your password if you want do something. Can you give a Normal account  "limitations" to do not install or remove anything or to not open any program? Can you also "hide/deactive" the terminal and console for a normal user?

I have 2 HDD drives in my computer. At the moment second drive is mounted as /media/storage.  How can I move my user data from /home to /media/storage/home?  Can I just move the data over there and then simply symlink it back?

How can I run two instance of, e.g. GNOME, on my computer at once?  I know how to change the virtual terminal, but I can't work out how to start a second instance of gnome - it just exits telling me that the X session is locked.  EDIT: The other thing that I would really like to know is how to run two different desktops at once - e.g. XFCE and GNOME.  I know that I can change the default desktop in .xinitrc or something like that, but then I would have to do so every time - is there any way to select the desktop type when creating the new XSession?

There seems to be no answer to this already. Every time I create a new SE account, it fills in the new account's data with the data from the "oldest" profile (which is something I don't want), so I have to change it every single time (username, info, etc). How can I change which account is used to "sync" with (and especially, to pull the data from when creating a new account)?

What is the purpose of a swap partition? How do I know I have just enough swap partition?  Not too much/little.   My Ubuntu PC is used for typical stuff:   Web (email, facebook, etc.) Some movies gaming is rare

I'm new to Ubuntu and recently started using it on my PC. I'm going to replace that PC with a new machine. I want to transfer my data and settings to the nettop. What aspects should I consider?  Obviously I want to move my data over. What things am I missing if I only copy the entire home folder?  This is a home pc (not corporate) so user rights and other security issues are not a concern, except that the files should be accessible on the new machine!  Please take into account that the new machine is a nettop that doesn't have an optical drive and doesn't allow me to hook the old SATA disk into it, so any data transfer must be handled via home network (I can have both the old and the new machine turned on and connected to the home LAN) and I have an USB thumbdrive with limited capacity (2GB). This sounds like it might limit the general applicability, but it would in fact make it more general.

I installed Ubuntu on my PC. To log in, I use the username and password I created during installation. Does this mean I am a root user? If yes, then how do I become non-root? It looks like non-root user is more secure than admin user.

I'm not sure how this machine was setup, but I do have control over it now as a local admin.  I need to enable fast user switching, but the option is greyed out along with some others. This is after unlocking the changes padlock.    Is there anything I can do to reenable these options?
