This is sometimes problematic, as certain daemons may print errors to
the generic tty screen in both bash and zsh (even within a 'screen'
session), which obfuscates what you're typing.
These errors normally go to tty1 which is f1 that is why I suggested he go
to f2.

Your idea is fine, but I think he should move into the failsafe
terminal, instead, which does not require a full GNOME, only gdm, to
access.

Hello,
I would really appreciate some help here. I am a starter at linux and I
installed SL 4.5 on my pc. After some weeks it worked fine (besides I
haven't registered it on redhat.com),
There is no need to register at redhat.com if you are runing Scientific
Linux. Except for their source code, which anyone can get from their
ftp site, they are not associated with Scientific Linux in any way.
And you should not be able to register it at redhat.com because you do not
have a redhat subscription.
and yesterday when I tryed to log
in GNOME a message appeader saying that my session lasted less than 10
seconds and one of 2 things should be happening: or I am out of disk
space (which I am NOT), or something about saving my last session. The
result is that I can't log in, only on security mode (terminal only),
but as long as I don't know what to do, I can't fix it.
Does anybody know what is happenning?
It sounds like you cannot log into your home area for some reason. What
that reason is ... we'll have to figure out.
Is your home area on a network disk of some type? Or is it on the disk
in your computer?
If it is on your computer, is your home area on it's own partition?
You should try to login in via a "text window". Use ctrl-alt-f2 to switch
to a text window and login in there. This will bypass GNOME completely.
