i just installed kubuntu-kde4-desktop. now, when i rebooted, the startup halts with errors that fsck could not check /dev/sdb6 (which is my /home/ partition). i need to press ctrl-d to continue booting. also, when logging into gnome, now the 'user switcher' applet crashes immediately. what happened and how do i fix this?
