    Post User's $HOME/.dmrc is file is being ignored.

    Hi

    I tried to login into my Gnome Desktop i got the following the error:

    User's $HOME/.dmrc is file is being ignored. This prevents the default session and language from being solved. File should be owned by user and have 644 permissions. User's $HOME directory must be owned by user and not writable by others

    Then i tried the following steps:

    chmod 644 /home/reddy/.dmrc
    chmod: cannot access `/home/reddy/.dmrc': No such file or directory i got this error and once again i tried these steps

    i created a .dmrc file in /home/reddy with following content
    [Desktop]
    Session=default

    i changed the permissions of the file
    chown reddy:reddy /home/reddy/.dmrc
    chmod 644 /home/reddy/.dmrc

    Finally i rebooted my system

    I tried to login into my gnome desktop once again

    i am getting the same error : "ser's $HOME/.dmrc is file is being ignored. This prevents the default session and language from being solved. File should be owned by user and have 644 permissions. User's $HOME directory must be owned by user and not writable by others"

    and i tried this also

    i created a new user called "dell" and i tried to login with new user and getting the same error............

    please help me regarding this
