Hi...
someone (gr83) pointed me this (non)bug from the forum and, although my
main problem had been solved already, I just created the /var/run and
/var/run/network on my / filesystem to avoid the early error messages
and other problems that may occur...
However, even when I didn't RTFM at the ti
creating /var/run/ on the / partition was working... have done quite a
few updates since the originally posting here and it's back. i keep
getting "ifup: failed to open statefile /var/run/network/ifstate: No
such file or directory" at boot or when trying to type
"/etc/init.d/loopbac start" or stop
Thanks, I am convinced.

/ is mounted read-only, so you can't make directories on it
the entire point of having the /var/run tmpfs is to have a writable area
before we are able to mount the root filesystem writable
chicken and egg otherwise

Scott,
Can you explain a little bit why Ubuntu has to assume so? I thought it
would be just a simple "mkdir -p /var/run" after mounting "/" and before
mounting "/var".
I find the need to fix it because such a simple missing directory can
cause a lot of problems, yet it isn't very easy to be fixed
Thanks, looks to be working the past few days after booting with the
liveCD, mounting / and creating the /var/run /var/run/network /var/lock
directories.

Ubuntu *has* to assume those directories exist (as noted above).
It appears that you failed to set up your very custom installation
correctly, you would have needed to make /var/run and /var/lock
underneath /var. The installers all take care of this, and it's noted
in the Wiki under custom instal
I am currently on trip, so I can't give prompt response.
This is a machine I installed using rsync from a working system.
I boot from the Desktop CD, mount the system into /target, /target/var, etc and
then rsync from the live system. As a result, the 2 "hidden" directories are
not copied since
Nevermind about my simple fix of moving the order in /etc/rcS.d
loopback still doesnt come up most of the time. I have to switch to a
terminal, login, bring up loopback, restart gdm then switch to gdm.
loopback is supposed to come up on it's on but the tmpfs for /var/run
and /var/lock are not let
I too am experiencing this bug. I only noticed it because loopback
would not come up at boot due to unable to access
/var/run/network/ifstate thus not allowing me to log in through GDM. I
had to move /etc/rcS.d/S08loopback to /etc/rcS.d/S39 loopback as quick
fix.
Secondly I am getting mounting e
Ok, I solved my problem, because I was blind, thx to Scott for opening my eyes.
The question we have now:
Which installer did you used? The Ubuntu Live Installer, or the Kubuntu
one?
thx,

Hi Alan,
How did you install dapper? The /var/run and /var/lock directories are
created "underneath" by the installer, and also by the initscripts
postinst in a breezy to dapper upgrade.
We can't create them in mountvirtfs, because at that point the root
filesystem is not writable (precisely why
This happens for me, too.
/var is on a separate partition and mountvirtfs failes.
When I don't use a separate /var partition everything works fine.
** Changed in: initscripts (Ubuntu)
