Your session lasted for < 10 seconds ...

Hello:

When I try to login to my Gnome session, I get the following error message:

Your session only lasted less than 10 seconds. If you have not logged out yourself, this could mean that there is some installation problem or that you may be out of disk space. Try logging in with one of the failsafe sessions to see if you can fix this problem.

After this message I am not able to login to my account. What is the problem?

Thanks for your help.

can you use any other window manager? if not then xorg is not properly configured. if you can then you probably did not install everything necessary for gnome to work.

to change window managers, run xwmconfig.

I am able to login to other window managers. Other users are able to login to Gnome.

Check the file permissions of your home directory. I had a similar problem before, only with KDE and something had changed the ownership of my home directory to root. Changing the ownership fixed it.

If you don't find a permission problem. You might try deleting your kde settings in your home directory in case something got fscked up.
