execute the following command. and Select GNOME.

Code:

$ switchdesk

or

step 1:
create a file in your home directory with name .Xclients-default and its contents are

Code:

exec gnome-session

step 2:
create another file with name .Xclients and its contents should be

Code:

#!/bin/bash
exec $HOME/.Xclients-default

step3:
relogin.
