fix filesystem permissions

something really strange happend with my new archlinux install and now the filesystem permission is a mess, can start konsole but no bash, tmp with wrong permissions and kdm fail to start. Can fix the tmp issue but there's some way to return the whole filesystem to a correct/default state?.

well, when start kde got a error message about console-kit, cant execute alsamixer as normal user, as root no problems. If try to open konsole bash doesnt open.

The problem was when reinstall arch using btrfs and something fail in the install and have to finish the process manually.

Only need to know some way to set the permissions of / to defaults.

Does this help? You can always reinstall / use your backup.
