Install Problem!
The Configuration defaults for GNOME Power Manager have not been installed correctly. Please contact your computer administrator.

Hi...

I had try "sudo apt-get --reinstall install gnome-power-manager"

but the results shows :

unable to flush /var/lib/dpkg/update/tmp.i after padding: No space left on device
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)

What should do now? delete some of my files?

Your disk is full probably. At fist try:
sudo autoclean
command. It should give you some space by removing almost useless system stuff.
If still same then.
You can check free space in CLI with:
df -h
And remove some files with rm <name> command.

I think I took a wrong step while doing backup by using the Clonezilla, so that is why my disk is full. I delete some of my files, and run command "sudo apt-get --reinstall install gnome-power-manager" and it work fine. I reboot the system and try log in into my system and all went OK!

Many thanks!!!
