Thanks for the comments. It should should not be needed to have devpts in /etc/fstab, there is a init script: /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh
that deals with mounting the required devpts filesystem. Do you have that file? Do you also have the symlink at: /etc/rcS.d/S11mountdevsubfs.sh ? -- update manager "Error failed to fork pty" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/338071 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
