Re: [Lcd4linux-devel] Lcd4Linux isn't forked?

[Martin Z. <co...@mz...>]

Dear Michael,

I might have had the sense to look at syslog myself.  Anyway, I'm not 
running "lcd4linux" as root and the directory permissions on my 
Debian-based systems were too restrictive:

   mkstemp(/var/run/lcd4linux.pid.6X3ybP) failed: Permission denied

For users who stumble across this -- I simply changed the permissions of 
"/var/run" by the commands:

   sudo chown root:admin /var/run/
   sudo chmod 775 /var/run/

and everything's fine again.  Although this relaxes security a little, 
users runnning "lcd4linux" still have to be in the group "admin" to 
write to "/var/run".

Thanks,

Martin

P.S.: Is everybody *really* running "lcd4linux" as root?!?
