General Support - "kstartupconfig" problem nitto - 28.09.2006, 02:05 Uhr Titel: "kstartupconfig" problem
G'day
AFter a reboot, I can't seem to log in to my kde account where I get the error message:
Code:
kstartupconfig error. check your installation
I can log in as root, so how can I check this installation error from root?
chown username.username -R /home/username (adding your username, of course :))

I tried that but didn't seem to do the trick...
I just checked my /home and my username is not there!!!!!
tried to create my username again, but it already existed so couldn't do that either....
Is there any way, I can salvage my old account??

Try doing
Code:
ls /home/username/.ICEauthority -alF
and see if this file is owned by your user or by root. If by root, then (logged on as root) do
also make sure the disk is not full

Are you sure your /home directory does not contain a directory with your username? Maybe it "somehow" got renamed and is now hidden? Or is /home on a separate partition and not mounted correctly? What did you do before the reboot that caused your user-directory to be gone?
