probably gnome is not ok, does not work properly, you ought to find logs

First, if you can click on System > Administration... then you're already in GUI desktop, that is, gnome seems ok.

But you should see lots of options under System > Administration..., which might a problem with your OS installation or a problem with packages that you installed.

Explain it little more that how did you loaded the OS and gnome packages, so people can further look into it.
