This could be indicative of your optical drive needing replacement. They do wear out over time, and especially if you are a smoker.
Another possibility, which may also impede the proper functioning of the optical drive, is if your power supply isn’t providing enough juice anymore. Some power supplies ─ most notably on older computers ─ had bad capacitors in them and would start losing voltage over time.
The above all said, you mentioned in your opening post that you had had a crash. If this crash was due to a hardware failure, then that deserves investigating. Computers contain many components that could malfunction ─ e.g. overheating due to dust in the fans, a failing power supply, bad memory modules, a failing HDD/SSD…
it’s all there…

Well, if the issue is resolved, could you then select the post you found most helpful and mark it as the solution, please? This will add a summary of the post to your opening post, just in case a newbie were to stumble upon the same issue. Or at least, if they were to use the search function of the forum, which ─ alas ─ most don’t seem to want to bother with.

I meant rather user deleting /home by accident during installation (by leaving default option to format it), and so on. This is far more likely to happen comparing to Xfce or KDE not liking to reuse it’s profile and configs in existing /home.
Well, that did’nt work, xinitrc is owned by KDE and it will not share…
I may need to reinstall the whole thing…
