this is a duplicate bug but they specifically told us to report a new bug against 14.04. I'm running Xubuntu 14.04.1 and I have an init.d script called minecraft which has the following screen command
as_user "cd $MCPATH && /usr/bin/screen -dmS survival-mc /usr/bin/java -Xms2048M -Xmx2048M -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -XX:MaxPermSize=128M -XX:UseSSE=3 -XX:-DisableExplicitGC -XX:+UseParallelOldGC -XX:ParallelGCThreads=4 -XX:+AggressiveOpts -XX:+UseCompressedStrings -jar $SERVICE nogui"

and I can see in the boot up messages the following error
"Cannot make directory '/var/run/screen': Permission denied" when I use the screen command.

How do I fix this please?
