Bug 259299 – kde-base/konsole-3.5.10: Unable to open PTY

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Cody Harris 2009-02-17 00:47:41 UTC]

I'm not exactly sure what I did, or what I installed that caused Konsole to stop working, however, I know I installed various new things like qt 4.5.  The compile finished successfully, and rev-dep rebuild finished everything.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Konsole

Actual Results:  
Konsole is unable to open a PTY (pseudo teletype).  It is likely that this is due to an incorrect configuration of the PTY devices.  Konsole needs to have read/write access to the PTY devices.

Expected Results:  
Be able to use Konsole as normal.

I fixed the problem with:
mount none /dev/pts -t devpts

Something in the last update broke my pts...  Since this has nothing to do with Konsole, I'll mark it as invalid...
