Let's assume your account is Alice, and your duplicated account should be Bob. Sorry, my screenshots are in German, but I will explain it in English.
Create the second account Bob by using System preferences (
switchboard
),user
plug. Add name Bob, the password and so on. After that, login with this user to create the home folder (will be found in/home/bob/
).Start
Files
as admin (please be aware that working with root privileges could be dangerous) by typing in terminal:gksudo pantheon-files
. Please type your password.- Find the two home folders of Alice and Bob (
/home/alice/
and/home/bob/
). Type Ctrl+H to see hidden files. - Copy all folders beginning with
.
from Alice's home folder to Bob's home folder.
Going with this, your accounts now have the same settings, after new login.
