I am reporting the bug on behalf of LP bug# 497662:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase-kde4/+bug/497662


Here is a description of the problem:


I use Kubuntu 9.10 with KDE 4.3.2
My home folder is on its own partition (which is much larger than the root partition).

When fsck runs on boot, as it does periodically, it scans both my root and home partitions.
However, before it's finished with the home partition, the login screen appears and quickly replaces the fsck messages.
If I'm not quick enough to catch that fsck is running and try to log in, all heck breaks loose since my home folder is empty.
I can watch fsck by switching to the F8 tty, but I have to know to do that.
