Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-session
It's an upgraded 10.04 from 9.10.
Everything was fine until I ran gnome-session in terminal (I originally
wanted to run gnome-session-save) and I got an error and then dozens of
windows were generated in the task bar that I had to logout. I was able
to input name and password and it seemed the system accepted them, but
after two or three seconds I was brought to the login screen again.
The issue is reproducible to all desktop types, KDE, gnome, and xterm.
I can't remember if I ran 'gnome-session' in root privilege.
There's no problem about the disk usage, all below 40%.
I worked out a workaround to login to gnome desktop though, switch to
console and then run following commands:
sudo service gdm stop
startx
Thanks.
