hello dsl users.
i have a very annoying problem that i can't solve:
i used dsl-2.0RC3b and remasterd it. i compiled a new kernel and installed a new windowmanager (fvwm) via chroot.
when i boot it, everything seems to work fine. the kernel loads and Xvesa and fvwm are started. until i want to open an aterm. then the console window appears for a very short time and then it dissapears again. when i switch to the console via ctrl+alt+f1 theres an error message like:
"aterm: can't open pseudo-tty"
i searched through the net and found some postings saying that...
"Unix98 PTY support" and
"(256) Maximum number of Unix98 PTYs in use (0-2048)"
...in the kernel config may be the problem. but i don't think that's true, because 256 should be more than enough.
does anyone have an idea, what's wrong or what i can do to solve this problem?
edit:
i installed "strace" to find out what the reason could be and i figured out that i don't have access to the /dev/pty* devices as normal user "dsl". there are a lot of messages like
"open("/dev/ptmx", O_RDWR) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
open("/dev/ptyp0", O_RDWR) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
...
that happens for all of the /dev/pty* devices and in the end i get the message you can already read above: "aterm: can't open pseudy-tty".
why is that and how can i solve this problem?
greetings
