http://ubuntuforums.org – Hi, Summary: System will not reboot when scrool lock is active. Details: I have multiple servers running various editions of Ubuntu (and other Linux variants) and have come across a frustrating issue. (I have tested this on multiple setups, not just the one I mention here) We have a KVM that uses "Scroll lock" + "Scroll lock" + Spacebar to switch between screens. I had a problem the other day where a scheduled reboot did not complete. After investigating through SSH I couldn't see why this was the case. Checking the console session did nothing as it wasn't res (Hardware)

Hi,

I'm running heyu, the home automation software, and it wanted to write to /var/lock.

Fedora makes /var/lock only root writeable (I did change this, but it gets changed back after a reboot so I presume that's saying, "Hey, don't do that!").

So I see that the Fedora way is to use /var/lock/lockdev which is root and the lock group writeable.

I changed heyu to write to that l
