    merge of user !!!

    Recently Gnome crashed in one user , so i neglected that user nad created new user. and its working fine. But problem is all the files which i created for a yesr are in that previous user permission. So i cant able to access all the file, i changed some most used file permission. And also added the group previous user to the current user, but still i cant access the file.

    Is there any way to merge the user so i can able use all the files in both user permission in ease.

    FYI: For regular use i will login through to root rights.

    Thanks in adv..

    Change the owner of the whole home directory using

    Code:
    sudo chown -r user:group /home/olduser
    EOF
