I had Drush running last month and now when I just try typing the command: drush
I get the following error:

PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function posix_getpwuid() in /pathtomysite/sites/all/modules/drubuntu/drubuntu.drush.inc on line 5
Drush command terminated abnormally due to an unrecoverable error.

I had installed it on a MediaTemple (DV) server using the instructions here.

I am having the same issue. Drush was working (this is on my local machine), and now I get this error.

Looks like you are using the drubuntu module. The error is caused because that module uses the posix_getpwuid() function that belongs to the POSIX PHP extension.

Try to check if you have installed/enabled that extension.
