Problem after system crash

I now get an error that <homedir>/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/bookmarks.xml cannot be written to. In fact, there are now about a dozen directories/files that I cannot list even as root:

/bin/ls: kab: Permission denied
/bin/ls: kabc: Permission denied
/bin/ls: kwin: Permission denied
/bin/ls: kalarmd: Permission denied
/bin/ls: kfile: Permission denied
/bin/ls: khtml: Permission denied
/bin/ls: kmail: Permission denied
/bin/ls: default_desktop: Permission denied
/bin/ls: drkonqi: Permission denied
/bin/ls: suseplugger: Permission denied
/bin/ls: nsplugins: Permission denied
/bin/ls: RecentDocuments: Permission denied
/bin/ls: kcookiejar: Permission denied
/bin/ls: konqsidebartng: Permission denied
/bin/ls: kdeprint: Permission denied
/bin/ls: kicker: Permission denied
/bin/ls: kwintv: Permission denied
/bin/ls: konqueror: Permission denied

This all started after my system ran out of space in the tmp directory (on the root partition of course). Anyway, any ideas on how to fix this?

Also, I wasn't thinking correctly when I created my username for the Forums, I have tried to change it using the Profile, but it doesn't stick. Am I stuck with the initial name?

...

Maybe it has to do with "extended attributes".
I had a similar thing after a crash.

- What filesystem are you using? ext2? ext3?
- Execute the command "lsattr" on some of the directories and files, and post the result.

The command to manipulate the attributes is "chattr"

No idea.

I am using reiserfs. I got it working, dummy me, I forgot that even prompts generated by programs are case sensitive, so every time I answered yes instead of Yes to reiserfsck and didn't get the results I expected - like the program actually checking the file system - I made the incorrect assumption that it didn't find any problems. Once I entered Yes it was able to correct the errors, although I did lose some minor data, like my bookmarks.

Thanks for the reply
