[Bug 312259] Re: Screen must be started with sudo on first use
This still occurs. I reinstalled screen, and now get the same error recurring about 2 weeks later. As reported, using sudo screen first lets other users use screen until reboot. ** Changed in: screen (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New -- Screen must be started with sudo on first use https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/312259 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This last suggestion has fixed the issue.

[Bug 312259] Re: Screen must be started with sudo on first use
It's possible that during reinstall some conf files didn't get removed, so let's try to purge screen then install it again (PLEASE don't purge from apt-get as ubuntu-desktop depends on screen). sudo dpkg --force-depends --purge screen sudo apt-get install screen Does the problem still persist? -- Screen must be started with sudo on first use https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/312259 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 312259] Re: Screen must be started with sudo on first use
It looks like I am mounting /var/run separately. I also tried to reinstall screen, but it didn't change anything. Here are the files that you requested.

[Bug 312259] Re: Screen must be started with sudo on first use
Are you mounting /var or /var/run separately from the rest of your filesystem? The permissions look correct on the files and folders (the "s" is setgid). I would suggest trying to reinstall screen, and also upload to this bug report as separate attachments the file /etc/fstab the output of the mount command in a text file: mount > mount.txt the groups command: groups > groups.txt and information about your kernel: uname -a > uname-a.txt Thanks in advance. -- Screen must be started with sudo on first use https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/312259 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 312259] Re: Screen must be started with sudo on first use
Here are the results right after startup: $ ls -l /var | grep run drwxr-xr-x 17 root root 780 2008-12-31 11:29 run $ ls -l /usr/bin/screen -rwxr-sr-x 1 root utmp 364K 2008-06-13 12:24 /usr/bin/screen Still produces error $ screen Cannot make directory '/var/run/screen': Permission denied Any other ideas? Do I need to be a member of the utmp group or what is that group and 's' setting? -- Screen must be started with sudo on first use https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/312259 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 312259] Re: Screen must be started with sudo on first use
Before running screen with sudo (so after a fresh reboot, when the error occurs), can you please post the output of ls -l /var | grep run and ls -l /usr/bin/screen The first command should show the permissions of the folder /var/run as 755 (drwxr-xr-x) and owned by root:root The last command should show screen to have permissions 755 with sgid (rwxr-sr-x) and owned by root:utmp If the last command doesn't show something very similar to -rwxr-sr-x 1 root utmp 308228 2007-10-23 12:02 /usr/bin/screen Then run sudo chown root:utmp /usr/bin/screen sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/screen sudo chmod g+s /usr/bin/screen Since this bug didn't have a package associated with it, I am filing it under "screen", though I expect this is a configuration problem and not a bug. Thanks in advance for the information requested. Let me know if the problem is solved. ** Changed in: screen (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: None => screen Status: New => Incomplete -- Screen must be started with sudo on first use https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/312259 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
