Hi! I had my Gnome packages crushed so... I've reinstalled gdm, gnome-session etc.
After that I can see logon screen and even log on but Gnome session doesn't start.


$ gnome-session
gives me: unable to open display ""

I've trying reconfiguring of xserver, checking permissions etc, etc, etc... I've spent hours googling of any reasons and solutions and trying them, but I haven't got any results. So... Could you give me any (even unbelievable) explanations why it is "unable to open display"? Reinstall of system is quite undesirable for me.

Thanks for any advices.
