Philippe, Does KDE 4.0 work for you? This bug was originally about KDE 4.0, but it seems to have been fixed.
Using: dbus 1.1.20-1ubuntu2 dbus-x11 1.1.20-1ubuntu2 hal 0.5.11~rc2-ubuntu8.1 kubuntu-kde4-desktop 0.14 libdbus-1-3 1.1.20-1ubuntu2 linux-headers-generic 2.6.24.19.21 kde4-core 3.3 kwin-kde4 4:4.0.3-0ubuntu2 and all other kde4 packages I checked (inc. kdm-kde4) are 4:4.0.3-0ubuntu2, except kde4graphics-dev, kdenetwork-kde4, kdesudo-kde4 (which are ubuntu1), and kdeutils-kde4 (which is ubuntu4) And actually, the solution you mention is mine. To see if this is the same bug, I suggest you try this: $ sudo touch $HOME/foobar $ ls ~/foobar If the file is there, it's the same problem. If you get an error on the first command (permission denied), then I don't think your problem is related. Do you remote mount your home directory? This appears to be mostly a problem of root not being able to write to directories mounted by users using automount/autofs. -- [Hardy] KDE4 logon failure: 'startkde: Could not start D-Bus.
