Ubuntu: Issue accessing any System applications
After going throug ha tutorial on how to setup ftp server one of the steps told me to create a user in terminal so i created a admin user after doing this everything turned to custard and now im getting this error.
"Error" "failed to run users-admin" "The underlying authorization mechanism (sudo) does not allow you to run this program. Contact the system administrator." This only displays after i enter in my root password after trying to access anything in systems tab anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this issues thanks..
