Hey,

I have recently upgraded to Breezy and have come across some problems
I hope I can get help with. Once dist-upgraded had X issues
etc.............. but

Once I got to gdm an entered username/password a  gnome-terminal
appeared immediatly  "There was an error creating a child process",
this thus kicked me back to gdm
Checking about I found this to be permissions problems will /dev/null

The only way I can get a Gnome session going is by chmod -R 666 /dev/*

Even with this I get up to GNome but I still cannot open a gnome-terminal
Any ideas or similar experiences

Wish I had of stayed with badger until October
