I am running Kubuntu 10.04 and I am no longer able to boot up as normal. I make it to the login screen without any indication of a problem. After typing in my user name and password, it continues to boot. Normally the remaining boot sequence shows several icons appearing in the center of the screen; however, after the first icon appears the system now hangs. After several minutes an error message pops up reading:
"The following installation problem was detected while trying to start KDE: No write access to $HOME directory (/home/thomas). KDE is unable to start." After clicking "OK" to close the error message, a second message appears reading: " Could not start ksmserver. Check your installation." Clicking "Okay" on this messages returns me to the login screen. A couple of notes: (1) I am still able to get in via the "Console login". (I think it is a virtual terminal) (2) I don't know exactly what caused this sudden failure to boot properly. Besides email and browsing the web, the last thing I attempted to do was install veetle (a P2P TV program). I didn't notice any error messages during the install. Any ideas?
