Booted up a laptop (kde) and got these error messages, one for each terminal session: " Kconsole is unable to open a PTY (pseudo teletype). It is likely that this is due to an incorrect configuration of the PTY devices. Kconsole needs to have read/write access to the PTY devices." Upon acknowledgement of each error (popUP) my kconsole sessions disappeared.... I can ssh into the system to fix the problem, but, I'm not sure what would have changed? Any ideas on this one? Why did it show up now? I have recently upgraded xorg and migrated KDE from monolithic to kde-meta. But all worked fine following these upgrades. James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
