[Bug 367608] Re: Konsole Shell Refused to Start after 8.10 -> 9.04 upgrade

[z_mikowski]

I now have updated my fourth computer to Jaunty.  And I had trouble with
Konsole, again.  The update was uneventful, and the problem occurred as
described in comment 1.

However, the pty* devices did not exist this time.  Trying to run
konsole from a virtual terminal resulted in warnings about flow control,
and could not connect to dbus.  Again, I am sorry but the exact message
was lost since I cannot cut and paste from my virtual terminal, and it
has scrolled off the display after I performed the fix.

I found a strong hint for at least an interim fix here:

notes

See the notes about adding /dev/pts into the fstab.  Specifically,
adding this line to /etc/fstab:

devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=620 0 0

and then running in a virtual terminal:

$ sudo mount -a

solved the problem.  Apparently one needs to reorder the init scripts to
make sure it (and my RAID -- another story) work on reboot.  I noticed
that /dev/pty* devices still do not exist, but that is not a worry to
me.  Seems like a much more appropriate and less risky fix than adding a
user to a group.

Hope this helps.
