I encountered this bug when upgrading from Ubuntu 11.04 to 11.10. I read all the comments from this issue and the accompanying issue mentioned previously, then I resolved this issue by doing the following actions (in this order):
sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm sudo apt-get purge gdm sudo rm /var/var/dbus/pid su root created directories /run and /run/lock (these already existed) moved contents of /var/run into /run and /var/lock into /run/lock, delete directories /var/run and /var/lock create replacement simlinks; e.g. 'ln -s /run /var/run' and 'ln -s /run/lock /var/lock' reboot I rebooted twice just to be sure since I went through part of this process once, resolved it, then the problem reappeared after reboot. The problem only stayed resolved after doing ALL of the above steps. Had I been an uneducated user (not a techie) I would have been really angry. Ubuntu community needs to upgrade the OS soon to fix this. This is a huge issue since the machine UI was unusable until this fix was in place! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/856810 Title: Boot hangs at "Booting system without full network configuration..."
