I now know how I I was hitting this. On my local system, I would log, open a terminal and and then run a bip proxy with: ssh -o ControlPath=none -C -L 7778:localhost:7778 -f -N ${HOST}
I can replicate that same behavior by ssh'ing to a system, then doing: sleep 30m & disown; exit After that, 'sleep 30m' will be alive and holding the /dev/pts/0 so nothing will get that any more, but the entry is deleted. I couldn't seem to get that to work through ssh running the command ie, the following kills the sleep and frees the /dev/pts/0: ssh $HOST -t 'sleep 30m & disown; exit 0;' -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/863629 Title: libvirt-lxc: virFileOpenTtyAt can't be called on /some/other/dev/pts To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/863629/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
