I doubt that the lack of the proprietary driver is related to being unable to login :-?
At least try with another desktop, a failsafe one. what's the name, fvwmn?

My doubt is that he has setup a dual boot and that he had not enough space for the root partition. If he uses BTRFS and snapshots, it is possible that in these conditions his partition is full already after install. SDDM but also kdm will under these conditions login/out without further comment, making it seem "not being able to log in". I told the OP to post the result of df -h That would be useful to exclude this (very common) scenario. --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort.

For butterfs users :-) Did Terrance say which rootfs he's using? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (2.3°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I cannot tell which rootfs was being used. I let the intall cd choose the defaults. I had planned on installing Linux on a devoted 1TB drive. Thanks -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

It is not a lack of space. I have 2TB drive which came with the PC and contains Windows10. I installed a second drive with 1TB for Opensuse install. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
*sigh* Ian, that you can log in from the VT means that a lot of the responses here are irrelevant. That's probably the most important of your initial observations and I can't think why so many people have ignored it and asked you to check things that are, based on that alone, non-issues.
From my notes & "written logbook":
Its been a long time since I encountered a problem like this; I'd start with logs, I'm a great believer in logs :-) xdm.errors Xorg.0.log Look for "EE" lines :-) and from $(HOME) .xsession-errors Careful there, it also lists application errors. Try bypassing the whole xdm/kdm issue by using xinit (then check the logs again). Try using some other DM The logs may immediately show up a problem with the video driver.

No no. That you have a 2TB drive is not the same as saying that you also have ample space on your system. Please do as asked and post it here: df -h Even better, do df -h -T -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
