[SOLVED] Disable opensuse auto login from command line

[Lakshmipathi]

I have installed opensuse on VirutalBox , during installation I said "yes" to autologin as normal user.
After installation and restart , it shows following message
"Logging in Laks ...
Cannot enter home directory . using /"

I can login as single user by passing "single " in grub.

Any thoughts on how to fix this issue?

do you have /home on a seperate disk partition? what are the permissions of /home and /home/Laks ??

[Lakshmipathi]

Thanks , Some progress, I logged in as root and /home doesn't have laks directory at all.

So deleted user laks and then create using useradd add command now it says
"Authentication failed"

Do you know the file which has this auto login configurations?

I forgot add password , I restarted after setting the password
oops ..back to square one .... first error message "can't enter home direc..."

[meton_magis]

what are the permissions of the home directory? also
what is the outup of
$ grep -i laks /etc/passwd

and
$ ls -la /home

??

Here is the output

~] grep -i 'laks' /etc/passwd
laks:1000:1000::/home/laks:/bin/bash

~]$ ls -la /home/

drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 4096 2010-01-27 20:32 .
dr-xr-xr-x. 21 root root 4096 2010-03-02 09:50 ..
drwxr-xrw-x. 6 laks laks 4096 2010-03-02 15:00 laks

[meton_magis]

as root, run
# chmod 700 /home/laks

I remember reading somewhere that you can have problems with X if your home directory isn't secured in its permissions.

[Lakshmipathi]

changed the permision, that didn't work for me.
chmod -R 700 /home/laks

From /var/log/Xorg.0.log said

config/hal : couldn't initialize context : unknow error (null)

How much disk space did you allow the VM? How much memory?

[Lakshmipathi]

I have allocated 8GB for VM 512MB for RAM....
