12.04 64 bit, seeing the same thing. At first I thought I was working around the issue by giving myself permission to /var/run/motion, until I realized it seems to disappear on itself.
I've also noticed if I run sudo /etc/init.d/motion restart, once motion is detected, the process disappears and no trace of motion is listed under ps -A. Is it possible they're related? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/294852 Title: motion fails to start because /var/run/motion is missing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/motion/+bug/294852/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
