/dev/null and /dev/urandom are the two that I manually corrected in order to get basic functionality working again. /dev/log I didn't touch, but that looks like it was recreated during the upgrade (syslogd was presumably restarted). > Do you think something might have actually done "find | chmod" and > escaped and run across /dev for some reason? I've looked around the filesystem a bit, and nothing looks out of the ordinary outside of /dev. You can see in the stat output that only the ctime changed, so it's the original device node which was created by udev, but has been mangled by something. > Do you happen to have system logs from the upgrade time, there may be > messages that give us a clue what happened. I have the dist-upgrader logs which look fairly complete, and will attach those. The timestamps in the log confirm that the ctime on /dev/null was during the upgrade, and narrows down the possible packages (somewhere from netbase to gsm-utils): 2009-01-16 13:33:36,223 INFO cache.commit() 2009-01-16 14:08:47,065 DEBUG got a conffile-prompt from dpkg for file: '/etc/services' 2009-01-16 15:00:50,532 WARNING no activity on terminal for 240 seconds (Configuring netbase) 2009-01-16 15:09:13,277 DEBUG got a conffile-prompt from dpkg for file: '/etc/init.d/gsm-utils' I also searched for other similar reports, but didn't find anything which was obviously a match: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/linux/+bug/290153/comments/67 (intrepid) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=229938 (dapper to edgy upgrade) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1033252 (August 2007) -- - mdz -- Wrong permissions in /dev after Intrepid->Jaunty upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/317944 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
