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

[Nathan Stratton Treadway]

The debian/changelog entry also has the LP number listed incorrectly
(as does the related Bazaar commit message):

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/lucid/insserv/lucid-proposed/revision/15/debian/changelog
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/oneiric/insserv/oneiric-proposed/revision/17/debian/changelog

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  severity : 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).
  frequency : once triggered, remains till manually fixed
  justification for backporting the fix to the stable release : I dunno your criteria, sorry, but it looks fairly bad to me.

  [Development Fix]
  over my head. see comments.

  [Stable Fix]
  migration script needs to double check (one time?) if all went well, if not, it needs to force the change through regardless, because the alternative is worse than any damage it could do.

  [Text Case]
  It's something like
  1. install 9.10
  2. upgrade to each release
  3. install vmware at some point
  4. attempt most recent upgrade
  Broken Behavior: incomplete migration to /run
  Fixed Behavior: complete migration to /run

  [Regression Potential]
  likelihood : cant see any that would be worse than not networking and no GUI.
  TBH this should have been fixed already.

  [Original Report]
  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.

  To correct the broken symlinks, run the following commands as root:
   mv /etc/rc6.d/S*reboot /etc/rc6.d/S90reboot
   mv /etc/rc6.d/S*umountroot /etc/rc6.d/S60umountroot
   mv /etc/rc6.d/S*umountnfs.sh /etc/rc6.d/S31umountnfs.sh
   mv /etc/rc6.d/S*umountfs /etc/rc6.d/S40umountfs
   mv /etc/rc6.d/S*sendsigs /etc/rc6.d/S20sendsigs
