[Bug 1125827] Re: tmp permissions change on boot
I don`t think there's a couchpotato package for Ubuntu, so you're probably best asking whoever maintains it about this. But since I was bored I checked the latest code from github (https://github.com/RuudBurger/CouchPotatoServer/), and the current ubuntu init script there writes the pid file as /var/run/couchpotato/server.pid and only modifies the permissions on that folder, not touching the main /var/run folder. So you probably need to update your couchpotato to the latest (or at least that line in the init script) and it should be fine. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1125827 Title: tmp permissions change on boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1125827/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 1125827] Re: tmp permissions change on boot
Yes, what I have was /var/run/couchpotato.pid, so not contained in its own directory. This issue is resolved now and I am very happy to have my Ubuntu back :) Thanks for helping although this is not an Ubuntu supported package!

Mark invalid because not an Ubuntu issue.

If you haven't already resolved this elsewhere, can you provide more information about this init daemon? Is it from an Ubuntu package? ** Changed in: ubuntu Status: New = Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1125827 Title: tmp permissions change on boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1125827/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 1125827] Re: tmp permissions change on boot
Bryan, Your timing could not be better, I discovered the problem just a few hours ago. The init script that creates all the problems belongs to couchpotato. In particular, it messes up the permissions of the directory it drops its PID file in. In my case, it was tmp. Later, I moved it to /var/run (actually symlink to /run), following convention, this time everything started crashing (network, software center, etc). I removed the script and all is back to normal. Hope this helps. I will be happy to provide more feedback if needed. Thanks for your followup.

Ok, sorry. If that's the case perhaps it would be a good idea to make the package selection in the bug tracker form a required field (?) :) I will try to find my answer elsewhere then, thanks for the explanation! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1125827 Title: tmp permissions change on boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1125827/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
