[Ubuntu] Error while logging-in.

“The configuration defaults for GNOME Power Manager have not been installed correctly. Please contact your computer administrator.”

Behavior:
After you enter the password on login screen, it takes you back to login screen making you unable to log in.

Solution:
However, you can still get to terminal. Press Ctrl+Alt+F1 to drop to terminal from login screen. Enter your username and password and execute the following command:

sudo apt-get clean

This will clean up the package cache freeing up lots of disk space. If you don’t have anything in the cache you’ll have to move your files to another partition. You can use mvfor the purpose.

mv source destination

For eg;
mv ./file.zip /media/disk-3/file.zip

This will move the file – file.zip to /media/disk-3.

Cheers!
