What did you install? If you want to upgrade your server to Kubuntu, it 
would be the package kubuntu-desktop which pulls in the rest. Maybe you 
used the wrong package?

If the file exists, it may have changed ownership if you have used sudo 
together with a GUI program. Make sure you have write permission for the 
/home/bob/.kde/ directory tree. You could change the ownership of your 
entire $HOME with the command

sudo chown -R $USER: $HOME

and in the future use kdesudo instead of sudo for GUI programs.

I can't tell you about the forum but this is the right place to ask. 
Either here or on the Kubuntu-users list [1].
