[Bug 918007] Re: 11.10 install crash: /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket missing

[John Shen]

** Summary changed:

- 11.10 install crashes on upgrade from 10.04.2 LTS when copying files
+ 11.10 install crash: /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket missing

** Description changed:

- on upgrade, install bar is about 15% of the way on copying.  trying to
- reinstall shows that the system self-reports its OS as 11.10, trying to
- reupgrade reaches the same problem.
+ on upgrade from 10.04 LTS 2 to 11.10, install bar is about 15% of the
+ way on copying when it crashes.  upon restart and the kernel appears to
+ be 11.10 but the graphic sticks on "Waiting for network configuration" ,
+ "Waiting up to 60 seconds more for network", as in #858122.
  
- hardware specs, In case it matters:
- Shuttle XB/G2-3100 - Desktop - Core 2 Duo - Q8200 - 2.33 GHz, detailed specs at http://us.shuttle.com/G2_3100.aspx
+ in the casper dump, it shows that dbus is failing to connect:
+  
+ dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.FileNotFound: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory
+ 
+ this looks like it's related to the migration from /var/run -> /run and
+ /var/lock -> /run/lock.  i tried to manually create the symlinks as per
+ previous bugs, i.e.
+ https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dbus/+bug/811441/comments/9 to
+ no avail.
+ 
+ (NB: i couldn't recover into single-user mode either to apply these
+ changes so i booted from 11.10 install media)
