An Error
 
I use motion sw. on Kubuntu 10.10.

What is the reason of that problem, please?

did you look to see if there is a pid file already there ?
a crash or forced shutdown can cause then to NOT be removed on shutdown

As a root
I created the directory using :
Quote:
mkdir /var/run/motion
then change the permission and it works el7mdllah.
Quote:
chmod a+rwxt /var/run/motion
