I assume that this is a translation of the Spanish message? The original English sentence I think reads " Default Configuration for Gnome Power Manager not installed Correctly", and there are several results found when searching for this problem:

This may be caused by several problems. Try
1) Boot to a rescue console and check that your disk "/dev/sdXX" (where XX is some letter/number combination) is not full (use the command "df -h" to see this).
2) Boot to a rescue console and try reinstalling gnome-desktop to replace any missing system files :
    apt-get --reinstall install gnome-desktop

I tried the first option and I received the following:
                 size used Avail. Use% Mounted on:
dev/sda1 9.7G 9.6G 0 100 /
udev 3.0G 312K 3G 1% /dev the same for sda2, sda3, sda4 and sda5
dev/sda6 79G 28G 48G 37% /home

I tried the second option but I received the message: "couldn´t found genome-desktop packages"

looks like your root drive is full. You will need to free up some space. Try running the following command

sudo aptitude clean

this will erase your package cache, and free up a few hundred megs. Once done, try removing some applications you are no longer using
