Permissions

[Jonathan Marc Bearak]

realizing i read too quickly...

If I understand it, all the files in your homedir are owned by another
user.  (Did you do a reinstall and create users in a different order,
generating different UIDs?)  The permissions, -rw-r--r--, are correct. 
You need to chown instead of chmod.  As root run
chown -R marek:marek /home/marek
