Using YaST, I changed the number of the user and now login does not work
When I type the password, she accepts, but the system is not up and back to the login immediately
I returned the previous number but not solved
How do I retrieve the login )
Background: you changed the UID, but all file ownership is by UID. And thus all files owned by <oldUID> must now be changed to be owned by <newUID> else that user can not use anything.
I think you must be more clear about what you had, what you wanted to change and what you did to achieve that.
As you started this, there was only one user where you changed the UID. Now you talk about “the second user” as if you were talking all the time about two users. You didn’t. This comes as a complete surprise to me. So you better explain. And you better do not use expressions like “the one user” and “the other user”, but give them their real names. And the real UID’s you used/changed, etc. Else it will be to abstract for all of us.
If you haven’t made a typing error, those two lines cannot have any effect to your second user.
Have you tried to reboot?
That error message means that the login procedure cannot create important directories in /tmp and /var/tmp.
Could you please post the output of the following (logging in as root does still work, right?):
The user sergio remains with the same problem when try to log
and after reboot when try login with the tropecso use then appear this message:
Call to Inuser failed (temporary directories full?). Check your system
Now I ran the lines:
chown-R tropecso /home/tropecso
chown-R tropecso /home/tropecso/. *?code]
And the user tropecso com log in again
But the user sergio remains returning to login after each attempt
Did you really type a " " (space) between /home/sergio/. and *?
That’s a grave mistake! In effect you have changed all files and directories in the current directory to be owned by sergio.
And since you have been logged in as tropecso, the current directory likely was /home/tropecso, so all his files/directories were suddenly owned by sergio. That’s why he couldn’t login anymore.

I don’t know who originally came up with this
chown -R tropecso /home/tropecso/.*
idea but it is not necessary. chown is run as root and ls lists dot
files automatically for root, so the first chown changes all files
including dot files. The second chown is not needed.
