I had the same issue after going through a fresh install updating and removing a few programs. Reboot and the error popped up. I tried uninstall/re-install of just gdm, but that didn’t work. This worked for me:

yum -y groupremove “GNOME Desktop Environment”

yum -y remove gdm (nothing to remove here)

yum -y install gdm

yum -y groupinstall “GNOME Desktop Environment”

Thanks for the info Tim

Hi.

You can try and do what I did. If you have a functioning installation you should be able to log in a root by entering single-user-mode or multi-user-mode from the boot prompt, as described in the post.

I’m not a Linux expert, just a user.

Cheers

I am having the same problem. I cant login. My system only have fedora15 installed. Unable to login as root. Also it does not give me “failed to load session ‘gnome’” error message.
Any help would be great.
