Still seeing this as of the gutsy upgrade. Alternate workaround is this in /etc/rc.local:
# ngircd lock directory workaround mkdir /var/run/ngircd/ and then making sure rc.local runs at priority 11. This bug was seen with both mrtg and smokeping. I believe their final fixes were to do detection of the lockfile directory as part of the initscript and create it if it did not exist. -- ngircd refuses to start automatically through sysv init https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/85266 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
