    Exclamation I can't login neither as root or user. It won't let me login at all

    Hello sorry for my grammar this is not my mother language
    My problem:
    I started my PC today "normally" and suddenly a gray square appeared in the middle of my screen telling me that my session last 10 seg and that I have lo login as "fialsession". I tried that but I only can got in with the terminal.
    It said: "Can not open or create *(null)*,this indicate it can be a problem with your configuration, error:"Failed to create file '/tmp/gconf-test-locking-file-RZWBKU' Permission denied"(errno=2)
    I'm here sitting and waiting (and getting in panic).
    Yesterday I installed Picasa 3 and stopped cherokee from starting with the system, else I realized that I couldn't find my .bashrc file
    Im really a baby here, just borned into Debian a week ago.
    I really appreciate if anyone can help me.
    Thanks for reading.

    This might be a permission problem on you're /tmp directory. Try changing it by typing as root:

    # chmod -R 777 /tmp

    Then try logging in again.

    THANK YOU VERY MUCH

    I'm glad you joined today. I open tty login as root, typed what you wrote and
    you did it.
