Hello. (I'm sorry for my English, I'm french) Thank you for this script, but it didn't start with Ubuntu. It works with a manual command ("minecraft start"). Have you an Idea ?

superjamie commented 10 years ago

If you check your /var/log/boot.log does it say:

* CraftBukkit was not already running. Starting...
 * Using map named "world"...
Cannot make directory '/var/run/screen': Permission denied

If so, this is a long-standing bug in Ubuntu's init:

I had asked someone else via email to try adding the following sleep 1 to the script to work around it.

Change this:

echo " * Using map named \"$WORLDNAME\"..."
as_user "cd \"$MCPATH\" && screen -c /dev/null -dmS $SCRNAME $INVOCATION"
sleep 10

To this:

echo " * Using map named \"$WORLDNAME\"..."
sleep 1    ## this is the addition
as_user "cd \"$MCPATH\" && screen -c /dev/null -dmS $SCRNAME $INVOCATION"
sleep 10

But I received no reply from that person.

If you see that Permission denied in boot.log, could you please try adding the sleep 1 as above?

Thank you, but I haven't : Cannot make directory '/var/run/screen': Permission denied But :

And the Script don't start with Ubuntu with "sleep 1"

superjamie commented 10 years ago

I am not sure. Try adding the sleep 1 as described above.

ghost commented 10 years ago

Nope, it doesn't work if I add "sleep 1".

I spent the day figuring out a work around for this on my own Ubuntu 14.04 server. What I ended up doing was essentially removing and replicating the screen-cleanup init script in the minecraft init script, right before screen is called in mc_start. The problem seems to be that /var/run/screen isn't being created before the minecraft init script tries to use screen. It may not be the best solution but it works as it should now. Here's what I did:

  1. mv /etc/init.d/screen-cleaup ~/screen-cleanup.bak
  2. update-rc.d screen-cleanup remove
  3. Added the following into mc_start() right before the line containing as_user "cd \"$MCPATH\"... if ! test -d /var/run/screen; then mkdir /var/run/screen chown root:utmp /var/run/screen chmod 775 /var/run/screen fi

Interesting, thanks for reporting that. I'm really hesitant to start messing with other initscripts but I will look into this more when I get a chance.

i'm also affected by this ubuntu screen bug. I did what juhbobbleton above suggests but there's a typo in his command for moving the screen-cleanup init script, it should read (missing the 'n') mv /etc/init.d/screen-cleanup ~/screen-cleanup.bak
