Screen needs mode 777 with systemd service
10,875
The directory needs full permissions to read, write, and execute.
You can do this command chmod -R 777 /var/run/screen
Which will recursively change all folders/files permissions to 777, though typically less secure.
You can also run sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /var/run/screen
This will allow a typical user/or group full access, and will be more secure.
