[SNIP] OK - so last time I had this, it actually happened very shortly after logging it to X11. Turned out there was some breakages in my /run directory, which I found out from the backend of syslog / journalctl -f.
After fixing permissions I stopped having the "interesting" fail modes.
Thanks,
OK, stupid question: Isn't the entirety of /run a tmpfs temporary file system, and as such, just held in memory? Any fixes to any files under /run would just dissappear on reboot, no? Or were there configuration problems somewhere else which then caused problems with files under /run?
Sometimes, sometimes not, my laptop didn't have /run that way for a while, and that certainly caused me some headaches.
