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:/
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.
mv /etc/rc6.
mv /etc/rc6.
mv /etc/rc6.
mv /etc/rc6.

I do not have /var/run in your /etc/fstab
I rebooted after the upgrade-manager finished, and it was then nothing worked.
If you are relying on a one-time script at shutdown to do the migration, maybe you need to verify it worked OK and re-run it ASAP in the boot process too.
