no, no autologin
but subsequent logins (third attempt) was correct, booted to <user> rather than root.
What did you mean by '"booted to" <user>', the default selection in the SDDM greeter had been (unwanted) root and is now (as wanted) <user>???
yes, it did and I didn't change anything. rebooted system for new kernel and it came up as root in graphical mode, runlevel 5. did it again, and the third time came up as the proper user w/o me changing anything. remember, I am 70 miles away as remote admin. I have Xvnc access and ssh but cannot do to much more w/o physical access. for some reason I cannot become root any more :(. I did disable root login but I thought that was only for the graphical mode. and now I need physical access to reset root's passwd. the <user> is not capable/trustworthy/knowledgeable/??? to perform that task :^( and tks for the hint. /etc/sddm.conf is set to the correct <user>. have no idea why it came up root twice. and I have rebooted it another time just to confirm and it came up <user>. who know what evil lurks in the hearts of men -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
