Oracle Linux 5 Login Issue: User "root" VS. User "MyName"

user8860348Jul 10 2016 — edited Jul 12 2016

Folks,

Hello. I am running Oracle Linux 5 in VM Player 3. The host OS is Windows 7.

VM Player 3 and Oracle Linux 5 have been working correctly for a long time. Today, a strange error occurrs as below:

After start up Oracle Linux 5 in VM Player 3, I type in username (MyName) and password(MyPWD) to login. It takes quite a few minutes abnormally. Then 6 errors comes up below:

1) An error occurred while loading or saving configuration information for Nautilus. Some of your configuration settings may not work properly.

I click on "Details" button and the message below comes up:

Failed to contact configuration server; Some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash.

see http:// www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ for information.

Details -

1: IOR file '/tmp/gconfd-user/lock/ior' no opened successfully. no gcond located: No such file or directory.

2: IOR file '/tmp/gconfd-user/lock/ior' no opened successfully, no gconfd located: no such file or directory.

2) An error occurred while loading or saving configuration information for Power Manager. Some of your configuration setting may not work correctly.

In Power Manager popup Window, there is Yellow triangle with black !.

The message is: GConf schema installer error, battery_low_percentage cannot be zero.

3) An error occurred while loading or saving configuration information for Print Notifier. Some of your configuration settings may not work properly.

I click on "Details" button, the message is the same with error 1) Details.

4) An error occurred while loading or saving configuration information for gnome-settings-daemon. Some of your configuration settings may not work properly.

I click on "Details" button, the message is the same with error 1) Details.

5) An error occurred while loading or saving configuration information for gnome-session. Some of your configuration settings may not work properly.

I click on "Details" button, the message is the same with error 1) Details.

6) There was an error starting GNOME Settings Daemon.

Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work correctly. The latest error message was:

Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply. The message bus security policy blocked the reply. The reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. GNOME will still try to restart the settings Daemon next time you log in.

After a few minute, Desktop screen becomes black background with all files and folders on it. But no Tool Bar. I can open the files and folders but cannot manipulate them.

I power off the VM and boot Oracle Linux 5 again, I login as "root" user with Username (root) and Password (rootPWD). User "root" login successfully. I checked the VM disk space below:

[root@linux ~]# df -h

FlieSystem: /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00

Size: 95GB

Used: 87GB

Avail: 3.4GB

Use%: 97%

Mounted On: /

As you see the number above, 3.4GB disk space is available. The virtual disk doesn't have problems.

User "root" run other functions correctly. But user "MyName" cannot login and comes up 6 errors. I don't understand this kind of issue.

My question is:

Why the user "MyName" cannot login into Oracle Linux 5 and comes up 6 errors now ? How to solve these errors ?

Thanks in advance.
