cannot enter home directory using /.call to /user temp failed (< temporary directores full?) check your installation okay /etc/fstab. thanks.

What exactly did it say?

Anyway, I thought you had moved on from KDE?

Could you please slow down and think about what you are trying to do. Then explain that as clearly and in as much detail as you can.

And please remember to use code tags.

First, did you follow the Beginners' Guide? If not, start there.

If you did follow it, what were the results of this test?

Assuming that test went fine, you need to follow https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KDE. See particularly https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kde#Starting_KDE.

It makes no sense to enable lxde before installing it, by the way.

Please read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Forum_Etiquette. In particular, please use code tags for posting code and please post enough information for people to help you. What does "opening Lxde" mean, for example?

You need to explain exactly what you did and what the results were.

There is a link in my signature explaining how to post good questions. I recommend reading it.

Just a small point, but the prompt of # indicates you are already root so the 'sudo' is superfluous. It's only needed when you're a regular non-privileged user.

Also, when writing on the forum it makes things much easier if you use code tags. For example (and you would have to remove the spaces within the tags)

[ c o d e ]
my list of commands and the responses
[ / c o d e ]

If that really is your /etc/fstab, then you should not be using Arch. Pick a distro that automates all of this for you and spend some time getting used to the basics of Linux.

@wasan,
I'm sorry but I find it very difficult to make any sense of your posts at all and you seem determined to ignore people's suggestions to make them more informative and digestible e.g. by using code tags (which has been mentioned to you several times in this and other threads), by posting exactly what you are trying to do, what commands you have issued and what results you have got.

As jasonwryan suggests, if the information you are posting really is accurate, you would be much better served by an alternative distro until you have a better understanding of your system. This is not intended as a reflection on you - it is simply a comment about the suitability of Arch for you at this particular point in time given your apparent knowledge of Linux. The difficulties you have in expressing yourself clearly on the forums will only add to your frustrations and that would be a shame. Much better to use an alternative distro for a bit, explore the system and return to Arch (if you wish) when you have a basic grasp of how the fundamentals work.

All the best .
