Сама форма ввода:

  table
    tr
      td = f.label :login
      td = f.text_field :login 
    tr
      td = f.label :password
      td = f.password_field :password
    tr
      td = f.submit :auth

контроллер:

def log_in
   user = User.find_by login: params[:user][:login]
      if user && user.authenticate(params[:user][:password])
	session_start
	redirect_to_gallery
      else
	   render "auth"		
      end
end

private

  def session_start
     session[:user_id] = @user.id
  end
	
  def redirect_to_gallery
     redirect_to :controller => 'gallery', :action => 'index'
  end

В методе log_in вы рендерите шаблон auth, в котором используется переменная @user. Но вы не определиле ее в методе. Поэтому и ошибка.

Сделайте так:
@user = User.find_by login: params[:user][:login]
вместо:
user = User.find_by login: params[:user][:login]
