| Jan 25, 2021 at 0:43 | comment | added | rd.break | thank you for a link. This is pretty nice thread, and it gives me a good starting point. Some questions are difficult to ask precisely because I do not know enough yet to formulate them precisely enough, and vague request I sent to google gave me back tones of "not the info I wanted". I am still learning (also English, haha). I cannot vote, so I thank you here, and I hope this will be forgiven that I use comment to do that. | |

@graphiccard: My apologies for the oversight wrt usermod -l newname pi. I have edited the answer. And FWIW, I felt what your question lacked was any sort of rationale or purpose for making this change. This suggested your Q was one of idle curiosity. If you're interested in "why", there are some explanations in this U&L Q&A & many other sources if you care to search.

Hey! I appreciate the time you spent on writing this post. I am not sure if you read mine because I specified that I was trying to use usermod -l new pi, but this failed due to running processes related to user pi. I could not kill them. I mentioned that I know that other things need to be changed along with the name. My question was mainly why I could not kill processes related to user pi using mentioned commands. I will do my best to be more precise next time. Anyways, as goldilocks above advised, I logged in into console, and I further managed to do change everything. Thank you :)
