Cannot login to GUI after install

I installed my friends desktop with Opensuse 11 and after two reinstalls (to verify I put the user info in correct) I cannot login to the desktop using the account I created during boot. Any one else have this issue and a good solution before I reinstall once again!:confused:

Where is it failing? Don’t forget openSUSE login is case sensitive. ie titanicx is not the same as TITANICX. So check your capslock.

Also, are you ending up at a text login? or a graphical login?

That was messing up her password application, until I figured that out.

I do know that it is case sensative as I have been using 10.3 and then 10.2 before that. It is getting to the gui login as expected, but it continually says login failed. I even reinstalled once again to verify that I did not mistype the password/username and came up with the same failure. I normally precreate the users home directories during install, worked fine in past versions, are there any issues with this in ver 11?

Hmm I will give that a try, that could be a posability…

You could try logging on as root, deleting the current user, recreating the user, and log out as root and log in as the new user. Just a thought.

Also, if installing KDE4.0, I would not be surprised this happened. If installing KDE4.0, try 3.5.
