Here's some information of things I tried, and various info that might be usefull. I've also tried and find other people with the same problem, I've found atleast two where one came into #screen on freenode, just like me and supplied this pastebin. http://pastebin.ca/raw/383517 What I think is the reason is the upgrade from 4.0.3-0.2 to 4.0.3-0.3 that I did yesterday. In my mind, what I suspect will fail it is start a screen (4.0.3-0.2) upgrade to screen 4.0.3-0.3 detach attach (fails) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dpkg --status screen Package: screen Status: install ok installed Priority: optional Section: misc Installed-Size: 896 Maintainer: Adam Lazur <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: i386 Version: 4.0.3-0.3 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.6-6), libncursesw5 (>= 5.4-5), libpam0g (>= 0.76), base-passwd (>= 2.0.3.4), passwd (>= 1:4.0.3-10) Pre-Depends: debconf (>= 0.5) | debconf-2.0 Conflicts: suidmanager (<< 0.52) Conffiles: /etc/screenrc 0f03c578a71c3af3ed4d92a5557e7a5a /etc/init.d/screen-cleanup c0b20a5c34424b377ed33473d6422fb5 Description: a terminal multiplexor with VT100/ANSI terminal emulation screen is a terminal multiplexor that runs several separate "screens" on a single physical character-based terminal. Each virtual terminal emulates a DEC VT100 plus several ANSI X3.64 and ISO 2022 functions. Screen sessions can be detached and resumed later on a different terminal. . Screen also supports a whole slew of other features. Some of these are: configurable input and output translation, serial port support, configurable logging, multi-user support, and utf8 charset support.

One can conclude that it actually finds the files, but for some reason it fails to bring them up and says there is no screen to be attached, what fun. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
