Boot to root recovery mode and run:

chown levan:levan /home/levan/.ICEauthority; chmod 1777 /tmp

Then reboot, should help

Dear marcobra, unfortunately this did not solve my problem. But one package was repaired - "sun-java6-jre", I tried to install this package, but it was canseled by intallation.

When I strat my desktop, I see the message:
"Nautilus could not create /home/levan/Desktop/, /home/levan/.nautilus"

Can I create this folder myself?

"sudo mkdir /home/levan/.nautilus" - I bacame the message "this folder already exist"

What can I try?

Thank you!

You can try changing ownership on all the files in your home. This is what I did when I got this error.

Change the owner of anything in your home to you:
$ chown -R levan:levan /home/levan/

If that doesn't work you can try changing the permissions:
$ chmod -R 760 /home/levan/
