Before running screen with sudo (so after a fresh reboot, when the error
occurs), can you please post the output of
ls -l /var | grep run
and
ls -l /usr/bin/screen
The first command should show the permissions of the folder /var/run as 755
(drwxr-xr-x) and owned by root:root
The last command should show screen to have permissions 755 with sgid
(rwxr-sr-x) and owned by root:utmp
If the last command doesn't show something very similar to
-rwxr-sr-x 1 root utmp 308228 2007-10-23 12:02 /usr/bin/screen
Then run
sudo chown root:utmp /usr/bin/screen
sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/screen
sudo chmod g+s /usr/bin/screen
Since this bug didn't have a package associated with it, I am filing it under
"screen", though I expect this is a configuration problem and not a bug.
Thanks in advance for the information requested. Let me know if the problem is
solved.
