Unfortunately it didn't help here. Last night I had a serious crash which left 
me with filesystem errors (ext3) that I couldn't recover from. To add to the 
misery my optical drive died and the Kubuntu 9.10 I had on a USB key failed. 
Luckily I found an old CD-ROM drive and a CD with Kubuntu 8.04 so I spent 
until 6am recovering the system and making a recovery USB key with 9.10.
