Amarok, konsole, dolphin, volume control, and a lot of other software just disappeared after I restored pam.d to default last night. Is there some way for me to restore my software without restoring the pam.d file configs? Should I just backup /home/ and do a reinstall?

Does sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop work, and get everything back?
If you can't access the terminal, try Ctrl+Alt+F1 then login in and execute the command.

There is no terminal, but I'm trying that with the deb file from the repositories.
edit: And the deb install failed

Software can't be installed or removed because the authentication service is not available. (org.freedesktop.PolicyKit.Error.Failed: ('system-bus-name', {'name': ':1.85'}): org.debian.apt.install-file – user294649 Jun 18 '14 at 12:54

dpkg -l <name>that the package was missing and not only a launcher icon ? – Benoit Jun 18 '14 at 12:28I can't dpkg -l since the terminal has disappeared from both the search function and the launcher's application menu. I would manually look for the binary, but dolphin disappeared as well.
