Problem solved, I think. /dev/pts was wrongly mounted as: none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=620,mode=620)
... when it should be: none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=0620) This could now be an initramfs issue - I installed dropbear recently and it starts up udev and various other initramfs-scripts. This is not an libvirt bug.. never was ;) So where does the bug belong now? -- chardev: opening backend "pty" failed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/607636 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to libvirt in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
