Strange behavior to login in Tumbleweed

When trying to login om tty1 I get the prompt and enter root, but instead of getting asked for the password, I get "Login incorrect". When loging in using sddm on tty2, the session starts on tty3 and after ending the session and logging in again even on tty4. Anyone else seeing this behavior? I updated the system to VERSION_ID="20240607". -- fr.gr. member openSUSE Freek de Kruijf

Works for me.

How exactly you "login using sddm on tty2"? I do not see any way to select something like this in SDDM greeter. Which session? SDDM can start any available session (and some users even use it to start Hyprland).
the session and logging in again even on tty4.
I end up on tty3 as well.

Which one? No, I do not see all of them. Yes, SDDM and user session are on different tty which is pretty obvious - SDDM runs X11 and user session runs Wayland.
I updated the system to VERSION_ID="20240607".

In fact what I consider strange are two different things. The behavior with tty2, tty3 and tty4 is caused by my use of Wayland and is now fully explained. The behavior on tty1 is still strange. It means I cannot login on such a console. It looks like the wrong process is started on such a console. A process that does give the right prompt to ask for a user name, but does not act upon it. -- fr.gr. member openSUSE Freek de Kruijf

Around the time various DMs ceased to default to running on tty7, tty1 variously took on some characteristic(s) that differ from other ttys, sometimes including omission of *getty. I stopped suggesting use of Ctrl-Alt-F1 for any diagnostic purpose, except viewing the last boot messages, quite some years ago. Ctrl-Alt-F[4,5,6] are the more reliable. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks!

I found the culprit. In order to suppress a message in the file /var/log/ messages from a cron job, I found a solution to use a file /etc/pam.d/login with: auth optional pam_kwallet5.so session optional pam_kwallet5.so auto_start force-run However removing this file solved my problem. A new inspection revealed that it did not solve the message from the cron job either. That message is: cron[25668]: pam_kwallet5(crond:session): pam_kwallet5: not a graphical session, skipping. Use force_run parameter to ignore this. -- fr.gr. member openSUSE Freek de Kruijf

May be. But as long as you are the only one having this problem, you are the only one who can troubleshoot it. Did you check what "wrong" process is started?

Hi, normally that means that a session did open and then die or being closed. I do see this this normally only when I forget that a secondary user is not open. e.g. if I open the first kde session it will open in tty2, then when I try with cntrl+alt+fn to jump to tty3 (because I think I have another user session open), all tty until tty7 are blocked for plasma and can used only for CLI input. The plasma session then all open from tty7 forward. However what you write seem that it tries to open on tty1 and fails (I guess you cannot do anything anymore in tty1. I guess you are X-server when this happens, because you did not tell. Or is this Wayland (I don't use it so I cannot tell.
