Why I am not able to login in GNOME session as root user ?
Issue
- Below error message is observed while logging in to server in gui mode
Your session only lasted less then 10second. if you have logged out yourself . this could mean that there is some installation problem or that you may be out of disk space.
Try logging i with one of the failsafe to session to see if you can fix this problem.
