Fix screen:

  The directory ''/var/run/screen/'' is the socket directory for screen.
  
  Fortunately, screen reads a environment variable ''SCREENDIR'' to get an alternative socket directory.
  
  So to work around it, you can create a directory, such as ''~/.screenrc'':
  
  ''mkdir ~/.screen && chmod 700 ~/.screen''
  
  and export the ''SCREENDIR'' to point to that directory:
  
  ''export SCREENDIR=$HOME/.screen''
  
  You can also put this line into your ''~/.bashrc'' so that it will also take effect afterwards.
