This is weird …
I installed tumbleweed , created a user called “studio” => ok
then I was installing Samba created a samba user called studio
so far everything was working
shot down the system
when starting the system I got a different login-screen
tried to login for user “studio”
=> blank screen for 3 seconds => back to login screen ???
created a new user => could login ect …
any idea ?
Thanks and best regards
Desktop is " KDE "
Not solved but solved !
I would have liked to know what the problem was. I suspect it had something to do with < the user-account name = “studio” and there is also a user-group called “studio”
Anyway , I created a new user called “studio1” , imported the data from “studio” and deleted the account “studio”
have a nice day
I can not help you in clarifying the case, but the two names have no relation to each other and they can be the same string without any consequences. Even if user studio isn’t even member of the group studio (but others user(s) are).
In fact I think that these days, as default, each user is created with it’s primary group name being the same string as the user name. Earlier the default was to give each created user the primary group users. Of course you are not bound to this default policy, but can create to your needs.
I guess you changed the system’s auth to some Samba (LDAP) login:
@knurpht
That’s it !
I was trying to use the samba passwords with no success and deleted the Samba user “studio”. Therefore I dismissed this avenue .
But you mentioned Samba (LDAP) , I remember I was doing something. The better word is “exploring”.
Since the same login screen is displayed the Samba system authorization must be active.

What would have been the solution to the problem ?
How can I the system’s auth revert back ?
Thanks
Not sure, I just remembered something from years ago. Have a look at this screen, I did
sudo su -
yast
Navigate to Security and Users - User and Group Management, then this:
@knurpht
I think I found the problem !
In Yast-Samba there is an option
/var/lib/samba/netlogon
which is by default turned off.
I must have by accident turned it on . See picture =>
After disabling : no more “Login-problems” 
That relates to your comment further up.
Thanks and best regards from

So, the issue is solved?
Yes, solved !
