I’ve looked through the forums and haven’t seen a problem mentioned like I’m having so if this post is repetitive I apologize.
I’m a Linux Noob, first of all. I’m trying to learn, but I guess I’m just old and slow. I have a little experience with PCLinuxOS and Mepis, but that’s just a little.
I’m dual booting openSUSE with Windows Vista. I got it installed fine and have had no issues for about a week now. Not sure how I did it, but it was auto logging the user account I made during the install. Early this morning, YaST I believe the program is called, told me there were a bunch of security updates available so I said OK and allowed the install process, that went fine with no issue’s that I noticed, after the install was done, I rebooted.
I get to the log in screen, which is the first time I’ve seen it as I mentioned it was auto logging me in, I click on my user account, enter the password, the screen kinda blinks, that’s the best way I can describe it, and comes right back to the log in screen. If I enter the wrong password I get an error message telling me it was an invalid log in, I enter the correct password and the screen blinks again and right back to the log in screen I go.
Any ideas?
If it helps, I can log in as root. I’ve tried doing that and, sorry for the nontechnical jargon here but, going into the program that lets you edit user and groups and such. I tried changing my user account password, logged out then tried again, but the same thing happens.
I’ll check back often to see if anyone has any idea’s. Thanks!
