Alma 10 Screen command

Support

I installed the screen command from epel. When I run screen, I get this error.

# screen
Directory ‘/run/screen’ must have mode 777.

I can go change the permissions on that dir, but wanted to check here to see if that’s really the proper way to handle this.

Seems to be an issue that sometimes happens, try reinstalling.

sudo dnf reinstall screen

This looks like a known issue.

There is a related Red Hat Bugzilla report:

/run is runtime state, so I would not recommend manually changing the permissions as a permanent fix.

Please try reinstalling the package first:

sudo dnf reinstall screen

If it still fails after that, it may be a package-side tmpfiles/group creation issue and should probably be reported against the EPEL 10 screen package.

thanks

Thanks from that bug report, I understand why a reinstall actually works.

I did a reinstall and all is good.

Thanks.
