GNOME Power manager not installed correctly

alienslag · 07-20-2009, 06:26 PM

Hi, I am new to linux, and have just installed fedora 11 onto my computer about a week ago. Recently when I booted up my computer I got an error at the login screen.

"Install problem!
The configuration defaults for GNOME Power Manager have not been installed correctly. Please contact your computer administrator."

When I try to login, nothing happens. I cant seem to get past the login screen.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I tried typing in the commands in the command line, however I received Error 27: Unrecognized command. I also noticed that each line starts with grub>

try doing a fresh install in that case to see if it works !! see if the ISO you downloaded is perfect
