[buddhi225]

Hello.I am using Opensuse 11.1 (just installed),gnome-based .My problem is,I can only login as root,cos the tty's attached to my normal user(non-privileged)keep crashing(I checked this with last).Is there any way I can fix this?I reinstalled several times,nothing to do.

All you need is check the server's logs For instance, /var/log/messages

Get rid of Suse and and install something a little more stable, I am not a fan of Suse but if you could post some of the errors you get during the crash it would be a little easier to diagnose the problem.

go through the whole process again except with something like ubuntu or kbuntu.
