Hi folks,

Login GNOME popup following warning

/etc/gdm/PreSession/Default: Registering your session with wtmp utmp
/etc/gdm/PreSession/Default: running session -a -w /var/log/wtmp -w /var/run/
utmp -x "/var/lib/gdm/: o.xservers" -h "" -l:0

GNOME can't start

# ls - /etc/X11
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root Xsession
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root Xsession.d
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root Xsession.options

The Directory is there.

Furthermore 'Xsession' can be started as USER

Kindly advise how to fix the problem

TIA

if you still have the problem, try apt-get --reinstall install xfree86-common

Hi,

Problem already solved by running

# apt-get dist-upgrade

Anyway. Thanks for your advice.
