I get logged out automatically after 2-4 seconds

So I installed a game with wine, and it didn’t work properly. I noticed it would log me out every time I started it so I removed it. But now it logs me out every time I log in after a few seconds. What happens is: the overview of gnome opens then a few second later it leaves overview and then a second later it logs me out.

Does anyone have an idea why it happens?

Thanks in advance.

@Corinae598 Hi, could it be a Gnome Shell Extension issue? I would suggest temporarily disabling and see if it still occurs. If it does, then create a test user and then log in as that test user and see if it duplicates, that helps identify a user or system issue.

No I don’t use extensions. Not even the official extensions

@Corinae598 OK, so fire up YaST and create a test user and login as the test user, does the issue duplicate?

I created the test user and now it works fine, should I keep using this user now?

@Corinae598 So as the test user, switch to root user in a terminal with su - and then run the command journalctl -b and see if you can identify your other user and the errors being shown when it autologs out, something is crashing, so just need to identify.

Sorry I can’t really find something, I don’t really understand it. Is there a way to filter?

@Corinae598 you can grep on error, journalctl -b | grep error I wonder if it may be something trying to autostart, so as root user ls /home/usrname/.config/autostart/ where username is the username having issues with, is there something in there that may cause the issue?

Soo I disabled all startup apps, it was only gnome clock and the welcome app. For some reason it doesn’t log out anymore.

So I guess its fixed, thank you so much.
