Shiny new install: Next day boot to login > Login submitted > Refreshes back to login screen

thank you.

alright, no idea how i did that using the yast partitioner creation>mounting tool followed by the CHOWN command, but i’ll reinstall from scratch again…

returning to the original desire of a GUI method to:
a) install tumbelweed kde on an SSD
b) create a partition on a separate HDD
c) mount that partition with write permissions

Is there a documented method to do so using Yast Partitioner?
n.b. considering that b) is now done, so what I want to achieve is i suppose just a) and c) this time around.
