xterm: Error 32 problem
Okay, i'm trying sourcemage linux, i just compiled kernel 2.6 and when i startx it goes to the default x desktop for a couple seconds and then crashes (i don't have any desktops like gnome or fluxbox installed). This is the error that i get:
xterm: Error 32, errno 2: No such file or directory Reason: get_pty: not enough ptys login: Error 32, errno2: No such file or directory Reason: get_pty: not enough ptys X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown) waiting for X server to shut down How do i get enough ptys?? And what is a pty?? Any help would be appreciated as i'm really enjoying sourcemage and don't want to have to reinstall or anything. |
A pty is a pseudo-terminal, I believe (what your xterm needs/is) and I'd guess something must be wrong in your /dev directory. There's sometimes a MAKEDEV script but I don't know how sourcemage works. Maybe that'll give you enough to track down the solution, though.

Try an 'ls /dev/pt*' and see if you get a truckload of ptys or not. --Oops. Thought I stopped the first one before it submitted. Sorry about that. |
