Problem with home directory

[Fehmi YAZICI]

I just solved similar problem in my Ubuntu system 8.10. it was related to
the illegal name of the file in my home folder. Just delete the file or
folder that you think it is has a problem (I deleted the file by using
another linux system installed in a separate partition).
