Yes, that’s normal. I said I was assuming you were root. You should log in as root right at login prompt - not log in as user and then as root.
Hmm … restart your computer in runlevel 3 (console mode), login as root, create a user, exit trom this tty, log in as the user you just created. Does it work?
If it sounds too complicated, just reinstall - you’ll save time - and avoid shrinking partitions in the future.

that is a correct statement as long as it means that the provided
partitioning tools strictly adhere to the documentation…that is, it
is won’t function correctly when used incorrectly… [and the
documentation provided for (say) Ubuntu and/or Mint will almost always
be different than that of openSUSE, because in some ways they are more
different than (say) Vista and Win8]
in your first post you wrote “I ran BOOT_REPAR Disk” and i’m not so
familiar with that…
so, can you tell me what “BOOT_REPAR Disk” is? (is it a command line
program or GUI based program?)
and where you found it? (i just googled “BOOT_REPAR Disk” and got one
hit, your post above–so, i can’t find it to try it out…)
and, please tell me how you ran it? that is, if it is a command line
program what switches did you use?

Not more and not less than any other Linux. But shrinking partitions is not absolutely safe. And did you tell us ‘how’ you did resize this partition?
Dunno. But yes. I just suggested you reinstall. However, you should be able to log in as any user you just create. I don’t know what’s wrong here.
Thank you everyone for your help. I am a Newbe and I could not figure out how to login as root. I searched it and never could find out what to put for password. Some kind of Elitist thing, hope to be there someday. Just reinstalled with KDE desktop for more flare. All good.
Thanks Again.

first of all, never log into KDE, GNOME or any other Linux desktop
environment as root. doing so is never required and always more danger
than worth…
instead always log into the DE as yourself, and then “become root” in a
terminal (with the “su -” command) or by launching root powered
applications (like YaST, or File Manager - Super User Mode, for example)
or in a terminal launch (say) a text editor by the command
kdesu kwrite
lots more you can read about that here:

not at all elitist…when you installed you were given the opportunity
to check a box and make up a root password, if you did not do that then
root’s password is the same as the first user on your system (if that is
you, then you just type in your password)…BUT do NOT log into KDE as
root, ever…not even to try to see if you finally got the root password
right.
Hi, to resolve this problem you need to delete your home directory, then create new home directory and restart the computer. Now you may logon into computer, bat you don’t see nothing file into home directory. To resolve this problem, from terminal as root, you have to mount home directory. Finish. Now your computer will work normally.
