Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-session

Never used linux before...

I installed Ubuntu 6.10 i386 on my computer.
I have 2 hard drives, partitioned like this:
    hda1     swap    512 MB
    hda1     ext3     19 GB      /
    hdb1     swap    512 MB
    hdb1    ext3      14 GB      /home

After installation was done, I rebooted the computer, removed the CD from the drive.
Got to login screen.  Entered username/password.
After a few seconds got a message box that said something like "You were logged in for less than 10 seconds.  Try one of the failsafe options".  Then I was back at the login screen.

I tried regular login again, using same username/password.
I got the main screen (same as what I got with the Live CD), then two message boxes showing a crash report.  One is for gnome-session, and the other (a few seconds later) for apport.

** Affects: gnome-session (Ubuntu)

         Status: Unconfirmed
