Like many here, I had the same problem when upgrading natty server to oneiric server. The conversion/migration of /var/run to /run during the upgrade process is buggy causing all sorts of problems until the content of /var/run and /var/lock are moved to /run and symlinks are created shown below as per comment #18.
ls -l /var/run /var/lock lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2011-10-23 12:24 /var/lock -> /run/lock/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2011-10-23 12:23 /var/run -> /run/ PS: The strange thing is, I upgraded my desktop version last week from natty->oneiric, the upgrade went just fine with the migration done properly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/858122 Title: incomplete migration to /run (shutdown script order has been demolished) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/858122/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
