    Gnome does not start

    Hi all!
    I have installed Xwindow, gdm and finaly:
    apt-get install gnome.
    After a reboot I get the gdm inlog promt, but after login I get the Xwindow standard window and "basic" green menu, when clicking on desktop.
    I have tried to use command: gnome-session, but command does not exist. (Beeing in folder /usr/X11R6).
    Do you have to be in a specific folder to execute command?
    Or what am I doing wrong?
    I have tried to change setup on gdm to graphic login and that works fine but I don't end up in gnome desktop.

    Many thanks!

    Ofcause I did not had any period, I wrote:
    apt-get install gnome
    I tried to start Gnome in failsafe mode but I got the info that gnome was not installed. After my install I was told to update as a couple of packages wasn't able to be downloaded. I did that and the rest was installed without any problems.
    Do I have to reinstall gnome?

    what does running
    Code:
    apt-get install gnome
    result in now? How about
    Code:
    apt-get -f install
    you might try
    Code:
    dpkg-reconfigure gnome
