[Bug 858122] Re: incomplete migration to /run (shutdown script order has been demolished)

[James Cuzella]

FYI: I had previously upgraded from Maverick -> Natty
I experienced the issue when upgrading from Natty  -> Oneric

I manually did the following:

sudo mv /var/run/* /run/
sudo mv /var/lock/* /run/lock/
sudo rmdir /var/run
sudo rmdir /var/lock
sudo ln -s /run /var/run
sudo ln -s /run/lock /var/lock


I rebooted, and X still does not start!  Most of the boot process looks ok, except for the following errors:

rpcbind: Cannot open '/var/run/rpcbind/rpcbind.xdr' file for reading, errno 2 (No such file or directory)
rpcbind: Cannot open '/var/run/rpcbind/portmap.xdr' file for reading, errno 2 (No such file or directory)

Bug description:
  I had the exact same issue documented as
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/807306
  on upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10. Opening new bug as req.

  Removing the existing /var/run and /var/run/lock and replacing with
  sym links as per comment 76 there fixed it.

  The impact of this was a total lack of system (wireless) networking
  coming up - this gives a >! minute pause during boot, as well as a
  subsequent total failure to be able to log into X (KDE or GNOME
  sessions give a cryptic error related to DBUS).

  I've just run an apt-get update/upgrade after *finally* getting back
  into my new 11.10 beta 2 system, and no updates to the mountall show
  up... therefore I assume this bug is still present.
