Have a search through the archives of the ubuntu-users list (http://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/), and look in their FAQs (http://www.ubuntulinux.org/support/documentation/faq/faqfolder_view/) and wiki (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/) - I'm sure your problems have come up there before.
But please be more precise with your symptoms - "the system won't boot up" generally means a system freeze at some stage, and usually a dearth of error messages, not a whole slew of them. Do you mean, you don't get a working X windows environment when you log in? Do you even get the login greeter program? If so, try selecting a Gnome session type and see if you can at least get in that way.
And just what did you do when you "Installed KDE packages"?

Well, here's yet another tech problem... Installed KDE packages in
Ubuntu... and went to reboot (and the system won't boot up).... The error
messages are quite repetitious, so here is a summary...
=====================================================
PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 4 of device 0000:00.02.1
(appears in the boot process)
=====================================================
Error setting up inter-process communications for KDE. The message returned
by the system was: Could not read network connection list.
/home/ebhakta/.DCOPserver_Goloka-Orbiter_0
Please check that the "dcopserver" program is running!
OK
=====================================================
Will not save configuration. (repeated many times in the boot process, with
the following results...)
Configuration file... not writable.
1) ..."/home/ebhakta/.kde/share/config/kwinrc"
2) ..."/home/ebhakta/.kde/share/config/kbuildsycocarc"
3) ..."/home/ebhakta/.kde/share/config/ksplashrc"
4) ..."/home/ebhakta/.kde/share/config/kwinrc"
5) ..."/home/ebhakta/.kde/share/config/kpersonalizerrc"
(each one of these appearing at different steps in the process)
Configuration file... not writable.
..."/home/ebhakta/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals"
(appears with each one of the above)
Please contact you system administrator.
OK
=====================================================
The following installation problem was detected while trying to start KDE:
No write access to '/home/ebhakta/.ICEauthority'
KDE is unable to start.
OK
=====================================================
Xmessage: Could not start ksmserver. Check your installation. OK
=====================================================
End (the system just seems to keep looping... and won't enter Ubuntu Gnome
or KDE...) :(
Umm... Help!!!
