[Bug 321927] Re: /dev/pts and /dev/shm not mounted on boot

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: udev
  
  If I upgrade udev to 137-1 (jaunty) and several other packages which
  depend on that version, and I can no longer launch a terminal in GNOME.
  The error reads "Could not create secondary process" or so and the
  problem seems to be with /dev/pts devices which cannot be accessed.
+ 
+ Note (2009-04-25):  Two reasons for this have been found:
+   1.  The order in /etc/rcS.d is messed up.  Fix:
+            a.  $ ls /etc/rcS.d | grep mountdevsubfs.sh
+            Note the number next to the "S" in that filename.
+            b.  $ sudo mv /etc/rcS.d/S_mountdevsubfs.sh /etc/rcS.d/S11mountdevsubfs.sh
+            where _ is the number in the old filename
+   2.  Or, you modified /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh (maybe to get VirtualBox to work; that workaround is no longer needed) and dpkg refuses to update it.  Fix:
+            $ sudo cp /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh.dpkg-dist /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh
+ If you do one of these fixes, reboot afterwards.
