Folder owner issue?

Post by lonestar144 »

Dunno if this is a big issue or not, but recently I noticed a change in my owner name. It use to say Owner: lonestar(lonestar), now it says Owner: comment(lonestar). Is there any way to fix this to what it was before? I have used chown to try and fix, but it didn't. Also comment(lonestar) is displayed on login screen. Thanks.

Got it fixed by going into System > Users and groups and changing user name.
