@daemonrebel: The following worked for me (borrowed from post #9): You need to (i) create directories /run and /run/lock, (ii) move contents of /var/run into /run and /var/lock into /run/lock, (iii) delete directories /var/run and /var/lock (iv) create replacement simlinks; e.g. 'ln -s /run /var/run' and 'ln -s /run/lock /var/lock' If you've never messed too much with Linux, it will be a little tricky. I booted w/o recovery console (it gets stuck in read only mode for me sometimes). Once you get to point where it's hanging and failing to boot further, hit ctrl-alt-F1. This will bring you to a virtual terminal. Log in as root or as a sudoer (you should be one). Attempt to move all the contents of the folders as described, like: mkdir /run mv /var/run/* /run] etc. If there is anything in these folders you cannot move or delete, it's possible it is a special mount point file. If rm <file> fails, try umount -fl <file> then attempt rm <file> again. After you move all of the contents, create the symlinks, reboot, and you should be okay. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/811441 Title: Unable to connect to the system bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: Connection refused (oneiric) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dbus/+bug/811441/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
