The problem is that a user has done a new 12.1 install and did not create a user at that time. Resulting in no chance of a GUI login. Period.
sorry, but i wonder how to do that? would it be that during the install, when on slide #8 of this preview http://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/html/openSUSE/opensuse-startup/art.osu... the person making the install just clicks "Next" leaving blank user name and password blocks??? is that possible? will the script allow that? (should that be changed??) if it is possible then wouldn't the primary user's name be "" (blank or maybe carriage return??) and password the same ""?? in other words wouldn't there be a /home//Desktop and etc.. and, if that page were untouched but clicked "Next" it would be set to auto log-in as "" and the machine book up user "" using password "" ?? and, root would share the "" password.. finally, if all of that is possible (and what happened) there would be no need to log into the GUI as root, instead just ssh in as root, launch ncurses YaST, nav to the security and users section and change the name and password of the user with UID of 1000, previously named "" to Tom or (whatever)...and give Tom a password longer than "". sorry, i don't have a VM handy to try all of that....and i wonder what i missed...? dd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
