What does your /etc/fstab say? [paolino@localhost paolino]$ cat /etc/fstab # # /etc/fstab # # You should be using fstool (control-panel) to edit this! # # <device> <mountpoint> <filesystemtype> <options> <dump> <fsckorder> /dev/hdb2 / ext2 defaults 1 1 /dev/hdb5 /home ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 owner,exec,dev,suid,ro,n oauto 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy ext2 user,exec,dev,suid,rw,noauto,gid=500,ow ner 0 0 /dev/hdb8 /usr ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/hdb7 /usr/local ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/hdb6 /var ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/hda1 /winnt1 msdos defaults 0 0 /dev/hda5 /winnt2 msdos defaults 0 0 /dev/hda6 /winnt3 msdos defaults 0 0 /dev/hda2 none ignore 0 0 0 /dev/hdb1 none ignore 0 0 0 /dev/hdb3 none ignore 0 0 0 /dev/hdd1 none ignore 0 0 0 /dev/hdd2 none ignore 0 0 0 /dev/hdd4 none ignore 0 0 0 none /dev/pts proc defaults I have some more Information:
when I'm logged as "root" everything works fine.
When I'm logged on as "normal" user I can only start a Konsole (this is the
only possibility of getting a Shell ...)
When I try to start another Konsole I get
[paolino@localhost paolino]$ konsole &
[1] 1461
[paolino@localhost paolino]$ konsole_grantpty not installed root-suid
konsole: chownpty failed for device /dev/ptyp3::/dev/ttyp3.
: This means the session can be eavesdroped.
: Make sure konsole_grantpty is installed in
: /usr/bin and setuid root.
(and the Konsole comes up)
When I try to start an xterm, I get:
[paolino@localhost paolino]$ xterm &
[2] 1464
[paolino@localhost paolino]$ pt_chown: needs to be installed setuid `root'
xterm: Error 1, errno 13: Permission denied
The xterm comes up and disappers immediately
Somewhere there is a permissions mismatch ... but where?
Thanks a lot for your help
Change the /dev/pts line to: none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=0620 0 0 and remount it, and you should be fine. When I change the /dev/pts line in /et/fstab I can start the Gnome terminal without error BUT I can not use my modem. I get : WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.40 Initializing modem. Sending: ATZ ATZ OK Sending: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 S11=55 +FCLASS=0 ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 S11=55 +FCLASS=0 OK Sending: ATM0 ATM0 OK Modem initialized.
