konsole_grantpty: determined a strange device name `/dev/ptmx'. Look at the files in /dev/pts. Do they all ahve the same permissions? Is konsole_grantpty in /usr/kde/3.1/bin and is it setuid root? Looks like there's some strange stuff going on with devfs here - most likely with the 2.6 kernel. My guess is that konsole hasn't been updated yet to deal with 2.6 devices. Does a 2.4 kernel work? first of all the permissions: exci@ws exci $ ls -alh /dev/pts total 0 drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Jan 1 1970 . drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Jan 1 1970 .. crw------- 1 exci tty 136, 0 Aug 7 12:57 0 crw------- 1 exci tty 136, 1 Aug 7 12:57 1 crw------- 1 exci tty 136, 2 Aug 7 13:02 2 both on 2.6 as 2.4 kernel (2.4.21 vanilla) the 2.4 kernel: Again if I use the kde button --> system --> konsole the system hangs for 5 seconds I found out that this is 5 seconds of 100% load and 44% usage of memory by X great fun with vmware/win2k on ;) --> swapping 10 minutes, I lost complete control of my system (irc pinged out etc.) and loads of 12+ I also tried to start konsole (wihout the start parms etc.) via aterm (which I love since konsole stopped working for me ;)) it started at once on the right screen. 2 seconds ago I tried it via aterm with all the parms, again no errors what so ever and starting normally So part of the problem is devfs/devpts of 2.6 but still my konsole behaves abnormal or is this because I use the 2.5 kernel since 2.5.45 and almost all my apps are compiled with it ? ow btw, seems that I am the only one with this problem so give it a low priority since I fell in love with aterm ;) It definitely looks like this is an issue between konsole and the newness of the 2.5/2.6 kernel stuff. I think you should probably file this at bugs.kde.org and see if they have any known resolution to it, as this will become a much bigger problem once 2.6 becomes more popular. Thanks for the heads up, though. |
