The last two times this has happened to me, the server in question had had a new kernel installed as part of system upgrades, but had not yet been rebooted. Probably a red herring.
I tried to run an instance under strace -- however the program behaves very differently under these circumstances, and I'm not sure how indicative it will be (e.g by default, "strace byobu" results in byobu immediately terminating with the error "Directory '/var/run/screen' must have mode 777.") -- byobu/screen unpredictably crashes "Cannot find master process to attach to!" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/644825 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
