KDE unable to start
Hello, please somebody help me.
I am using Kubuntu 9.04, the system upgraded some programs and asked me to restart the computer, i did it and as always i typed the username ad password, the system started but suddenly stops, a widow appears after a while:
"The following installation problem was detected while trying to start KDE.
No write access to '/home/
KDE unable to start"
The only option was to click in the OK button so i made it, then another window appears telling me the following:
"Could not start KSM server. check your installation"
Does somebody know what to do??? of course i am newbie so please be very detailed.
Thank you very much.
Best regards.

The file should not have a space:
/home/hercules/
andy@fileserver:~$ file ~/.ICEauthority
/home/andy/
make sure you get this output when querying the file:
andy@fileserver:~$ ls -al ~/.ICEauthority
-rw------- 1 andy andy 11861 2009-09-14 19:39 /home/andy/
Yours will say:
hercules@
-rw------- 1 hercules hercules 11861 2009-09-14 19:39 /home/hercules/
If it doesn't, let me know and i'l give you the command to get his running.
