Since reboots don't fix it, it doesn't sound like a starvation issue. Since your /dev/pts is mounted and seems to have useful permissions, it doesn't sound like a permissions issue. Since xterm works, it *definitely* shouldn't be a permissions issue relating to ptys; I'd expect xterm would have had the same issue. Still, with the error 'Can't open a pseudo teletype', code and activity relating to ptys are where I'd keep looking. If it were me, at this point I'd try running konsole under strace, direct strace's output to a text file, and then grep that file for anything relating to /dev/pts, look at the error codes (or lackthereof, or lack of matching lines), and try figuring things out from there. --=20 :wq
