I can reproduce this error also with konsole 3.5.4-0ubuntu5 on Edgy and get the same error message as shown in Kenny's picture.
But strangly I have to put a whitespace after the ';', i.e. use konsole -e 'ls ; echo hi' Otherwise I get an error "konsole: ERROR: can not execute ls;". But this seems unrelated to the pty issue of this bug report. Here the pty related device permissions on my system: $ ls -l /dev/ptmx crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 5, 2 2006-08-16 12:12 /dev/ptmx $ ls -l /dev/pts total 0 crw------- 1 andreas tty 136, 0 2006-08-16 12:19 0 crw------- 1 andreas tty 136, 1 2006-08-16 12:18 1 crw------- 1 andreas tty 136, 2 2006-08-16 10:28 2 crw------- 1 andreas tty 136, 3 2006-08-16 12:18 3 crw------- 1 andreas tty 136, 4 2006-08-16 12:12 4 crw--w---- 1 andreas tty 136, 5 2006-08-16 10:28 5 $ ls -ld /dev/pts drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 2006-08-16 12:15 /dev/pts $ ls -l /dev/pty* crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 2, 176 2006-08-16 12:15 /dev/ptya0 ...
