[KDE Bug 140952] Konsole crashes on start-up with "Konsole is unable to open a PTY"

[A Frehley]

Good day,

I'd like to know whether anyone else has experienced the same problem with
KDE 3.5.5:

When I try to start a konsole by clicking on the Konsole icon in the
taskbar, the konsole wiondow opens, immediately follwed by a popup that
gives the message:  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.

When I click on the popup's OK button, the konsole disappears.

This happens irrespective of whether I'm logged in as a normal user or as
root.


I'm running Kanotix with kernel 2.6.18

Thanks
Ace

I got an off-list request for this: Here's a sample of some webpages that do 
not work as they should in Konqueror but do in Iceape:

http://www.myspace.com/etallovesyou
http://www.abc.net.au/dig/jazz/justplayed/default.htm
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zlpWVOcx34
http://www.circusoz.com

The last one returns a page of text error messages; the rest just render 
incompletely. If anyone feels like testing them... Another one is my bank's 
secure pages (won't post that!) where Javascript links don't do anything in 
(Etch) Konqueror but are OK in other browsers. However, other Javascript 
elsewhere seems to work. I'm stumped; I'll just use Iceape where I need to I 
guess!

Regards, 

John
