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!
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.
