Kubuntu desktop doesn't load

[Guest]

Hello.
When I try to login (enter uname, password) a black screen with commands appear for a fraction of second and the last thing I see is : "Saned disabled; edit /etc/default/saned"
Then the login screen appears again.
I can login by clicking cntrl-shift - f1 and then login through console, though.
How can I login to see my desktop?
Thank you.

Firstly, make sure your system is up to date and everything is installed correctly:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop

Then reboot and try to log in again.

If the update doesn't help - maybe the #10 from the: http://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthr...Qs-amp-Answers will help

Saned is part of HP printers/scanner drivers, I fixed it by uninstalling the package

sudo apt-get remove libsane

then I reboot my system and when loggedin there was a notification that I have only 15mb in HDD, I had 9+gb free so I ran an update, it started downloading, I had to free another 10 mb for the update installation so I deleted all my Documents folder, about 30Mb when finished the update I had 2.9GB free at following morning I had 4.9Gb I really don't know what is happening.

You probably have a ton of packages cached from your package installs. You should get rid of them. Try

sudo apt-get clean

See if that helps with the space issue.

Thanks, this command freed 600 Mb approximately, now I have 5.2 Gb, I'd like to know where are the missing 3 or 4 Gb
