Just installed Kubuntu 12.10 again (now on my 4th installation attempt
today) and still can't get it to work.
This time, I used the "manual" install procedure to install only the root
(/) partition since I already have /home installed on /dev/sda6 with all
my files.
But now I cannot access that /home partition. I'm stuck in a tmp/guest
directory and I can neither change user to /home/joe nor can I use: 'sudo
passwd root' because all attempts say "Operation not permitted"
$ df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 12396968 3571428 8195796 31% /
udev 469488 4 469484 1% /dev

none 480592 9512 471080 2% /tmp/guest-3sbRVN
I am able to view /home/joe to confirm that all my files are there by
going to CTRL+ALT+F1 and logging in as 'joe' ... and in the F1 terminal I
can also use 'sudu passwd root' to reset the root password. But then when
I go back to the KDE graphical desktop (F7) and open a terminal, I still
cannot get into the /home directory or su to root.
$ cat fstab shows this:
