Login authentication failure after upgrade from 15.6 to 16

wilkerjnc · August 17, 2026, 9:06pm

After an upgrade from 15.6 to 16.0, the system boots to the GUI login screen, but gives an authentication failure for the user.

If I Ctrl-Alt-F1 to a tty session, I can login with the same user and passwor, then use startx and the desktop comes up normally. The only differnece from before is that when a browser is first launched, I get a pop up for the keyring password, which validates with teh original password as well.

There are indicators of older related issues such as

but not sure that is entirely usefull information.

What I have noted is that I appear to have a sore of split configureation between X11 (from the 15.6 I assume) and Wayland (16.0?)

and

# loginctl show-session $(loginctl | grep "$USER" | awk '{print $1}') -p Type

Type=unspecified



I am assuming  that I need to be either all X11 or all Wayland.
My question is how is the best way to get to either mode (I assume I want Wayland as X11 is aging out?).
Thanks.

Also, if a use a Backup user (created back in 15.6) login from the GUI works.

deano_ferrari · August 18, 2026, 3:35am

For Leap 16, I would recommend just enabling gdm.service directly. The display-manager-legacy.service is an older compatibility unit shipped for historical reasons. It is still used on older openSUSE setups where the sysconfig-based DM switching mechanism was embedded in that unit. The update-alternatives mechanism will be deprecated.

sudo systemctl disable display-manager-legacy.service
sudo systemctl enable gdm.service
sudo reboot

GDM can handle both X11 and Wayland, so there is no need to remove or otherwise configure X11 just to use Wayland. Once GDM is running correctly, we can see whether the GNOME session is starting as Wayland.

wilkerjnc · August 18, 2026, 4:41am

I ran the prescribed (3) commands above, I still have to Ctrl-Alt-F1 to login from the GUI.

Here are the pertinent outputs that changed from the prescribed commands:loginctl show-session $(loginctl | grep “$USER” | awk ‘{print $1}’) -p Type Type=wayland Type=unspecified

Please use `single expressions` for “single expressions”
and

```
a 
couple 
of 
lines
```

for “a couple of lines”. Lots easier to read then.

deano_ferrari · August 18, 2026, 5:41am

Let’s examine the GDM/Wayland failure details. As root, run

journalctl -b -u gdm --no-pager
journalctl -b | grep -Ei 'gdm|gnome-shell|mutter|wayland|drm|gpu'

The output should hopefully show why the Wayland session is failing to register.

deano_ferrari · August 18, 2026, 5:59am

When using a display manager’s own systemd service unit, the update-alternatives framework is obsolete.

deano_ferrari · August 18, 2026, 6:19am

Please show us your graphics hardware and environment details using…
inxi -Gaz

Also, when you were previously using Leap 15.6, were you launching Gnome X11 or Gnome Wayland sessions?

deano_ferrari · August 18, 2026, 11:03am

I missed this bit earlier. Leap 16 changed the default user-group arrangement: new users get a private primary group named after the user, rather than the traditional users primary group. The release notes explicitly warn that this can affect inherited home directories and configurations relying on the old users group. Refer section 3.6.16 of the openSUSE Leap Release Notes.

knurpht · August 18, 2026, 11:21am

Now that you are bringing this up, I remember having to do a chown <user>:<user> /home/<user> -R on 2 customer laptops. This could indeed be the case.

This looks to be the issue. The GDM logs show that the authentication is succeeding, but then the Wayland session is trying to start LXQt/labwc, and labwc isn’t installed…

Aug 18 00:13:37 linux-3wjh /usr/libexec/gdm/gdm-wayland-session[4237]: No compositor configured yet in Session Settings, trying labwc...

It then exits, and GDM reports Session never registered, failing.

That also explains why the backup user works, and not a system-wide issue at least.

deano_ferrari · August 18, 2026, 8:33pm

The next thing I’d check is
sudo cat /var/lib/AccountsService/users/<username>
Compare the primary with your working backup user.

You could delete it and reboot. See how that goes.

Further to this, you could simply have selected the gear icon at the GDM login screen and explicitly chosen a GNOME desktop session.

wilkerjnc · August 19, 2026, 3:40am

I installed the labwcpackages but no change in the login error from the GUI behavior.

Additionally, I had the MATE selection on the gear ICON before the upgrade to 16.0, but it does not show now. My current running desktop is still MATE. I do select Gnome-classic for the issue here as MATE is not showing.

Cinnamon (Wayland), Plasma, and LXQt sellections will login successfully.

Here is my current /var/lib/AccountsService/users/username (I did delete the old one first then rebooted):

# cat username
[User]
Session=gnome-classic
Icon=/home/wilkerj/.face
SystemAccount=false

This output: journalctl -b -u gdm --no-pager is the same as my previous response.

A fresh output of this previous data

I fixed this:

Additionally, I had the MATE selection on the gear ICON before the upgrade to 16.0, but it does not show now.

by copying

cp /usr/share/xsessions/mate.desktop /usr/share/wayland-sessionsmate.desktop

and I have

# cat /var/lib/AccountsService/users/username
[User]
Session=mate
Icon=/home/username/.face
SystemAccount=false

The new log also shows this is no longer the labwc problem:

Reached target GNOME Wayland Session.

Stopped target GNOME Wayland Session.

...

Gdm: GdmDisplay: Session never registered, failing

So the GNOME Wayland session tries to start and then immediately fails.

Show
journalctl _UID=1000 -b --since "23:21:20" --until "23:21:35" --no-pager
Hopefully that should show what is actually killing the GNOME session for the primary user.

Hi, I recreated the issue then ran

journalctl _UID=1000 -b --since "10:50:10" --until "11:04:33" --no-pager

against the new log output:

# journalctl _UID=1000 -b --since "10:50:10" --until "11:04:33" --no-pager

Is your user really called username ?

The log snippet shows that MATE seems to start, but there are lots of problems with your desktop configuration…

A lot of malformed autostart files - I guess your desktop configuration has survived a major desktop/distro updates and contains remnants of several desktop environments?
mate-volume-control-applet is missing.
MATE reports a missing dock provider.
Evolution has a corrupt SQLite database error reported.

But it does start successfully in the end?

I think you should backup any important user files, and start with a clean install.

MATE starts ups and everything works fine after I use startx from the Ctrl-Shft-F1 off the GUI login screen. All the installed MATE applets, including the panel, sound app, etc. all work.

I do not use Evolution for anything.

Again though this issue only occurs when using either Gnome or MATE as the desktop environment so a full reinstall should not really be needed. FYI, the upgrade saga from 15.6 to 16.0 was a horrendous experience, but I finally got it to work.

Most of those autostart fails seem to refernce long ago non-existent apps as well…
