FYI: I had previously upgraded from Maverick -> Natty I experienced the issue when upgrading from Natty -> Oneric
I manually did the following: sudo mv /var/run/* /run/ sudo mv /var/lock/* /run/lock/ sudo rmdir /var/run sudo rmdir /var/lock sudo ln -s /run /var/run sudo ln -s /run/lock /var/lock I rebooted, and X still does not start! Most of the boot process looks ok, except for the following errors: rpcbind: Cannot open '/var/run/rpcbind/rpcbind.xdr' file for reading, errno 2 (No such file or directory) rpcbind: Cannot open '/var/run/rpcbind/portmap.xdr' file for reading, errno 2 (No such file or directory) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/858122 Title: incomplete migration to /run (shutdown script order has been demolished) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/858122/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
