I've done something recently on my gentoo and I don't remember

till
that moment I cannot run Eterm or xterm when logged as user. When

root everything is working. This issue is known on the web but
solutions
does not satisfy me Eterm.
There are messages:
"Can't open pseudo-tty --No such file or directory"
"Unable to run sub-command"
Then Eterm window raises and there is only "Hit any key to exit"
I checked:
- /dev/pty is compiled in kernel
- /dev/pty directory exists and all files within
- symbolic links in /dev exists too
- changed rights to all these files to rwxrwxrwx - nothing helped
2.6.12r6, 2005.0
What can I do more? Changin debugging level in Eterm gives nothing.
Did you use Unix98 PTY or Legacy (BSD) Pty?
Also, are you using udev?
And you have Virtual terminal?
fwiw - I haven't seen it here with Unix98 ptys, udev, and 2.6.12-r4.
I use udev and Legacy(BSD) with 2.6.12-r6. How to check if I use
virtual
terminal?
How to switch to Unix98 - I can't find this option in menuconfig.
Very strange is that root can open eterm without problems, any user
(even
with additional group 'root') can't.
I see some messages in logs about pam authentication. Could it be
related to
that?
Thanks,
Arek
I had such a problem after an upgrade of udev. I didn't run etc-update
and with the old config udev just made the ptys with wrong permissions
after etc-update and a reboot with the new udev config all was well
again...
Thanks, could you send me your config file when ude is working?
Br,
Arek
It worked (there has not been done etc-update after udev upgrade).
