Initial install of makerware works, after rebooting service won't start.

yup same here - get this

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/makerbot/python/conveyor-3.8.4-py2.7.egg/conveyor/error.py", line 444, in guard code = func() File "/usr/share/makerbot/python/conveyor-3.8.4-py2.7.egg/conveyor/main.py", line 72, in func code = self._run() File "/usr/share/makerbot/python/conveyor-3.8.4-py2.7.egg/conveyor/server/__main__.py", line 54, in _run listener = address.listen() File "/usr/share/makerbot/python/conveyor-3.8.4-py2.7.egg/conveyor/address.py", line 102, in listen os.remove(self._path) OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/run/conveyor/conveyord.socket' 2016-10-20 18:19:21,803 | ERROR | MainThread:140102925866752 | main.py:87 | conveyor.server.__main__.ServerMain:main | conveyord terminating with exit code 1

workaround - I have to

sudo apt-get remove conveyor
sudo apt-get remove makerware

and reinstall each time i reboot

You could probably fix this by adding a few lines to /etc/systemd/system/conveyor.service in the [Service] section:

PermissionsStartOnly=true
ExecStartPre=/bin/mkdir -p /var/run/conveyor
ExecStartPre=/bin/chown conveyor:conveyor /var/run/conveyor
ExecStartPre=/bin/chmod 775 /var/run/conveyor

(basically all of this noise converted to systemd speak.)

This has also fixed a problem for me where conveyor just segfaults when started, except after reinstalling.

@dudecc solution works in the ubuntu 16.04 ppa version as well with one caveat:

You still need to manually start the service after opening makerware.

@dudecc your solution also works with Debian 8 (Jessie).
Manual restart of the BackgroundService after opening MakerBot Desktop is required as well

I was having a similar problem with 16.04.3.
I finally found that by changing the ownership of /var/run/conveyor fixed the start up problem:

sudo chown -R conveyor:conveyor /var/run/conveyor

Hope this helps
