Question #78539 on kdebase in ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase/+question/78539

actionparsnip proposed the following answer:
yes, / is the lowest folder and is called root. You have a massive hill
to climb now. You will have to read forums on what ownerships files and
folders have and apply them to the ENTIRE system.

I suggest you cut your loses and reinstall, you can restore your user
data from your backups if home is not on a seperate partition.

If you fancied trying to get it working you could always boot to live cd
as the live environment is sysnonymous with an installed one, you can
then make a note of the ownerships and apply them to your system.

Nearly all the files and folders outside of your home directory are
owned by root:root but their are some files and folders that have slight
differences which you must accommodate for.
