Where is it?
I am trying to get my virtualbox working correctly and needed to include me in a user group. The user management under system setting is useless. I understand that KUser is no longer maintained or available. I did try to install LXQt-Admin as a work around but it wouldn't install with dependency issues. Please don't tell me CLI is it. KDE and / or Neon really needs a top level / root admin tool like YAST in openSUSE.

users-admin from gnome-system-tools package works, and does not install very much else 'gnome' with it.
Not ideal, but.... |

I ran into this as well a while back. As acheronuk mentioned you can install gnome-system-tools, and then you’ll see it under “system” > add or remove users and groups. Then you can activate “vboxusers”, or what ever else you need.

That is what i finished up doing. As you say it didn't load much Gnome but achieved exactly what I needed.

Mmm...
I would've said use kuser but it has been dropped from KDE apps I see the old version--that I used to use--is still available in the Ubuntu 17.10 repo... but I would not install it, even though for kubuntu and neon, it would still work... at least for the time being So rats... it's back to command line!

Glad that helped. FYI, lack of group management in the Plasma user-manager module/kcm has been reported here at the very least: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=365787 While the point of that module is to be 'simple', personally I can't see why some basic group management capabilities could not be added under an advanced tab/button/whatever, with suitable warnings if required. Even if kuser was resurrected somehow, IMO there should be some built in functionality besides installing an additional app. |
