Kstartupconfig error

[meatsheets]

When i restarted my computer and tried to login, a error came up saying

Could not start kstartupconfig. Check your installation

Before it stopped working i was trying to get plugins for epcsxe (a playstation emulator)
And i was following a guide for it. which is located here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=95835
and then i restarted my computer and it would give me the kstartupconfig error

Re: Kstartupconfig error

Most likely the ownership/permissions of your kde settings directories were changed. It is fairly easy to fix using 2 different methods:

1) make sure all the files/folders in your home directory are owned by that user:

 sudo chown -Rv <your-username>.<your-username> /home/<your-username>/[code]

2) (the using a hammer to swat a fly method)

You can rename your .kde directory and try to log in again, the default KDe desktop, app settings will be recreated, minus any data and settings tweaks.

[code]sudo mv /home/<your-username>/.kde /home/<your-username>/.kde-orig

This can be undone if it doesn't work

sudo mv /home/<your-username>/.kde-orig /home/<your-username>/.kde
