Hi Clive,
So it's complaining that /tmp/.X11-unix exists but it isn't a
directory that has `drwxrwxrwt' as its permissions. That directory is
created by /etc/rcS.d/S70x11-common so for some reason that either
isn't working, or it's work is being trampled afterwards.
There's been some progress. I've raised a bug on the `chmod 1777' in
/etc/init.d/x11-common that attempts to set the permissions on
/tmp/.X11-unix to drwxrwxrwt.
(If you think that should work, given we're root, think again before the
spoiler in the bug report. :-)

Looked at that but confused as to what it says!
and what does
ls -ld / /tmp /tmp/.X11-unix
show now, when it's all working?
drwxrwxrwt 2 root 4096 2010-08-24 13:07 then /tmp/.X11-unix was
highlighted in green box (a directory?)
Clive, it would be helpful if you were to do that command just before
shutting down and record the result. Then we'd be able to see if
there's a pattern that matches whether the following boot works or not.
I'd suggest
(date; ls -ld / /tmp /tmp/.{ICE,X11}-unix)>>ralph.txt
just run the above output failed with:
ls: cannot access /tmp/.ICE--unix: No such file or directory
ls: cannot access /tmp/.X11--unix: No such file or directory
Even trying with sudo in front it failed, should the () or {} be included?
Will bring the laptop to Blandford meeting so you can see what's happening.
Clive
