[SOLVED] Disable opensuse auto login from command line
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?- Lakshmipathi.G

"Authentication failed"

# chmod 700 /home/laks
