First don't panic.
What is the last things you did before KDE not starting any more ? You can start your machine on runlevel 3 without graphical interface. after that, make a backup of the directories containing your college work. make also a backup of your configuration files. After that try to reverse what you've done which broke KDE. If it's not possible you can re-install KDE on your machine and start afresh. I presume you have installation CD or DVD. You may even re-install all your system if you have a backup or a copy of all your important files, I suppose in your /home directories. I hope you will manage this moment of crisis. Keep quiet, it's always better than to panic. |
download the knoppix boot CD .iso file. Boot with it. Use k3b to copy all your data to a CD-R. Fix debian if you can. If not, all your work is on the CD-R, so reinstall debian
