Please provide the output of: $ ls -l /etc/rc*/*screen-cleanup* There should be a link present (via /etc/rcS.d/S70screen-cleanup in my case). In case it is, something breaks this later again on startup. What is the error when you want to start screen?

[Bug 172651] Re: Can't run screen in Gutsy
This appears to be fixed since Hardy (screen 4.0.3-1): * Recreate /var/run/screen on install/reboot if necessary (e.g. tmpfs) with the appriopriate permissions (depending on the screen binary - some admins might choose to install it setuid using dpkg-statoverride). Closes: #357578, #390506, #397088. I've run into this, because the init script link to /etc/init.d/screen-cleanup was missing on my system (accidently removed). I've solved this by reinstall screen: sudo apt-get install --reinstall screen The workaround seems to be manually extending the existing startup script, e.g. for Dapper or Gutsy with the snippet from Hardy for this: case "$1" in start) if test -L $SCREENDIR || ! test -d $SCREENDIR; then rm -f $SCREENDIR mkdir $SCREENDIR chown root:utmp $SCREENDIR fi find $SCREENDIR -type p -print0 | xargs -0r rm -f -- # If the local admin has used dpkg-statoverride to install screen setuid, # change the permissions of $SCREENDIR accordingly if [ `stat -c%a /usr/bin/screen` -ge 4000 ]; then chmod 0755 $SCREENDIR else chmod 0775 $SCREENDIR fi ;; ** Changed in: screen (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium Status: Incomplete => Fix Released -- Can't run screen in Gutsy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/172651 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

> Not so obvious to me. Well, it's obvious that /var/run/screen can't be created when screen is run (as !root) so it must be created before that. At boot? At install time? Don't know.

Martin: 'It's quite obvious what the problem is though, /var/run/screen wasn't created at install time... right?' Not so obvious to me. The error message shows that screen tries to create this directory, but simply can't. Looks very similar to bug #13143, which was supposed to be solved in Hoary.
