I would look at all of the ".*" folders in your home directory and see if they are all writable by you. This was likely caused by you trying out startx while in a root non-login terminal, which used "su" to get into. I did this once with firefox, and it caused it to fail silently when I tried to start it. > > further > > 4 - I cannot mount a partition (both from command line and from > desktop) the answer is "Only root can mount a device" (all > permissions are the same as before) I would check out "groups " and see whether you are a member of the plugdev group. > 5 - I am not able to become root (both in konsole and term) the answer > is "Authentication failed" (consolekit is merged) Wheel group for this one.
