Hi Anders, I am a linux newbie. where can I find the log files? I checked in /etc/fstab and it list the /home. I guess that would mean that it was mounted, correct? how do I mount the home partition on to /home? thanks!
Most likely, your home partition wasn't mounted at boot. The system sees that /home/<username> isn't available, assigns / as home folder, kde tries to write to it, everything goes bananas
See if you can find something in the logs that tells you why it wasn't mounted. Perhaps there was an error. or perhaps it isn't assigned properly
in /etc/fstab.
temp solution: mount the home partition on /home, then you should be able to log in
