I just installed netdata 1.3.0-1 and ran `netdata` as root.
Nothing was printed on the console and netdata process wasn't running.

This is what I found in /var/log/netdata/error.log:

16-08-30 15:39:21: INFO: netdata: Adjusted my Out-Of-Memory score to 1000.
16-08-30 15:39:21: INFO: netdata: Adjusted my scheduling priority to IDLE.

16-08-30 15:39:21: INFO: netdata: NetData exiting. Bye bye...

after running `chown -R netdata:netdata /var/lib/netdata` fixes the issue.
This task depends upon

Please, don't do this in the install scriptlet, though. All of that needs moved to the package function.

Please test rel -2.

Rel 1.4.0-2 seems to start properly after installation.

Goood!
