Lasst week I installed Kubuntu 12.04 on my shiny new Lenovo W520. It all worked out perfectly fine and I was happy. While I did install from the alternatev CD to have full disk encryption, and thus kept the home directory 'unencrypted', I stuck to the default partitioning and options in general.
Last friday I started a big copy operation, went for lunch, came back, unlocked the screen, noticed issues in Thunderbird(crashed when I tried to open emails), and rebooted. I have convenience login enabled since I enter a long password during boot for the encrypted HD. So I was surprised to end up at the KDM login screen. Entering wrong credentials resulted in the expected error message, but entering correct ones results in KDM trying to log me in apparently, for a split second I see a black screen, then I'm back at the KDM login window. The problem was I accidentally filled /. I deleted 30 gig so theres plenty of disk space again now.
I can switch to console, log in as my user, kill kdm and 'startx' to get KDE up and running. It mostly works. I dont have sound anymore. Kmix only shows 'dummy device'. I cant use the updater. When the notifier shows new updates, and I tell it to update, I'm not asked for a password, instead I get "This operation cannot continue since proper authorization was not provided".
x.org logs show:
klauncher(1743) kdemain: No DBUS session-bus found. Check if you have started the DBUS server.
kdeinit4: Communication error with launcher. Exiting!

Just to remind users and devs that Ubuntu and its flavors have a long way to go to be as usr friendly as they should be.
