Just to be sure. You are using nouveau driver. This could be the problem. Could you try to login into safe mode setting during the boot up? There is he second line of grub telling you to pass special parameter. Could you set up there the paramenter "nomodeset" to grub when starting up? Where nomodeset is the parameter and has to be written without the gimmicks. Try to log in then. You can also try to change password via yast. You can reach yast any time in the command line version (as you can login as yourself and su - then write yast. You will find yourself in a old but nice texmode interface. To navigate you use the tab and the enter key. You can create a new user with an easy password (user test, password test). Say yes to the questions (as you will delete that user at the end if all works. Then login into test with the new account. Does this work as expected? As for your question: yes everything works from the tty 1 interface (Fn + F1) If you want to try, with the yast interface you can also join the nvidia repo with the proprietary driver if you still to not manage to login. Then you select the appropriate driver for your graphic card, install and exit yast. Reboot and you are done. That I would try it as last step. Let me know if you need advice and if you have problems. P.S. it comes to my mind that graphical login will fail if for some reason you are out of space or in the root directory (if you did choose it too small) or if you selected a separate /home and you are out of space in that home directory. In both cases login will jump back to the sddm. you can check as root with df -h this will give you the free space on the partitions you have. None of the "use%" values are allowed to be 100%.
