Hello all, I think, I have the same problem here on my computer.
With Ubuntu Feisty Fawn, 7.04 Destop x86 a Firebird 1.5.3 server runs well. With Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon, 7.10 Destop x86 Firebird server won't run after reboot. I have tried and tested two kinds of firebird. sudo apt-get install firebird2.0-super and sudo apt-get install firebird1.5-super After installation several files and folders are available: /usr/lib/firebird/2.0/ /usr/lib/firebird/2.0/bin/ /usr/lib/firebird/2.0/help/ (a link to: /var/lib/firebird/2.0/system) /usr/lib/firebird/2.0intl/ /usr/lib/firebird/2.0/lib/ /usr/lib/firebird/2.0/run/ (a link to: /var/run/firebird/2.0) <----- Important! /usr/lib/firebird/2.0/UDF/ /usr/lib/firebird/2.0/aliases.conf (a link to: /etc/firebird/2.0/aliases.conf) /usr/lib/firebird/2.0/firebird.conf (a link to: /etc/firebird/2.0/firebird.conf) /usr/lib/firebird/2.0/firebird.log (a link to: /var/log/firebird2.0.log) /usr/lib/firebird/2.0/firebird.msg (a link to: /usr/share/firebird/2.0/firebird.msg) /usr/lib/firebird/2.0/security2.fdb (a link to: /var/lib/firebird/2.0/system/security.fdb) ------------------------- /var/run/firebird/ /var/run/firebird/2.0/ /var/run/firebird/2.0/fbguard.pid /var/run/firebird/2.0/isc_guard1.taido /var/run/firebird/2.0/isc_init1.taido /var/run/firebird/2.0/isc_lock1.taido sudo dpkg-reconfigure firebird2.0-super * Firebird 2.0 server manager not running. * Firebird 2.0 server manager not running. * Starting Firebird 2.0 server manager...

Now I reboot my machine and the following files and folders are missing. /var/run/firebird/ /var/run/firebird/2.0/ /var/run/firebird/2.0/fbguard.pid /var/run/firebird/2.0/isc_guard1.taido /var/run/firebird/2.0/isc_init1.taido /var/run/firebird/2.0/isc_lock1.taido The document http://www.pathname.com/fhs/2.2/fhs-5.13.html tells me, that all files under this directory (/var/run/) must be cleared (removed or truncated as appropriate) at the beginning of the boot process. What can I do to avoid the problems with firebird? I try the following command (after reboot). top -b -n1 | grep -i fb [nothing] sudo /etc/init.d/firebird2.0-super start * Starting Firebird 2.0 server manager... [ ok ] This information above is wrong because the firebird server hasn't start. top -b -n1 | grep -i fb [nothing] Best regards, Frau Kuchen p.s. When I install firebird over synaptic then several links are broken. That is worse. -- firebird1.5 super won't start after reboot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/159002 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
