The error in shell.log showed that the presence service did not start, for that you should look in the same directory for a presence*.log file.
(We've had several instances of zero-filled files lately having changed from JFFS2 to EXT3 with data=writeback ... so I've got used to recognising the failure to proceed due to missing presence service ... owner.key was zero-filled if system was crashed before all data written to disk.) -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
