[SM-Users] pty and pseudo-tty

[Bob LeBlanc]

Hi eveyone,

I am having a problem with pty and pseudo-tty after I bring up FVWM.
At this time I am running the same configuration file on 4 other SMGL
boxes, one laptop and a slackware box and it works on all of them.
FVWM is already loaded when I get this error.

If anyone has had this problem or knows how to fix this please let me know.

BTW the man page for pty did not help me in solving this.

error msg:

----
aterm: can't open pseudo-tty
aterm: aborting
xterm: Error 32, errno 2: No such file or directory
Reason: get_pty: not enough ptys
----

Thanks,

BoB

Is /dev/pts mounted or filled?
Try running it with strace to see what file it's trying to open.

Thanks Ruskie,

/dev/pts was not mounted.
I put it in my fstab and mounted it and it works..
Thanks again.
