I am not sure that it is worth the effort to recover the system. Might be faster to rescue your user files and install 11.04 anew.

but all i need the home directory files

If you have not encrypted, you can access all your files in /home using a live boot.

What do you mean by user files which are not in /home?

What do you mean by user files which are not in /home?

Bookmarks for example ..

I would think bookmarks would be in hidden files in /home (for example in .mozilla if you use firefox). That folder can become visible by pressing Ctrl+h in the home directory.
