"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 diskspace.Try logging in with one of the fail safe sessions if you can fix this problem.

~/xsession -errors-file."

can anyone out here help me out?.

thanks...

It happens due to the overflow of user's .xsession-errors file

you can check your by logging in CLI mode

Code:

#cat /home/user/.xsession-errors

either you can delete the entry in this file but I won't suggest you that

If you wish you can create a link of the error file to null file

Code:

#ln -s /dev/null /home/user/.xsession-errors
