Assuming you can get into your system and assuming the following is your
complete message:

<quote>
Users $HOME/.dmrd file is being ignored. This prevents the default
session and language from being saved.
File should be owned by user and have 644 permissions.
Users $HOME directory must be owned by user and not writable by others.
</quote>

The suggested fix is to run the following commands:

chmod 644 .dmrc
chmod 700 ~
