Bug#392244: xterm: doesn't seem to work with udev
Package: xterm
Version: 210-3.1
Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line ***
Hello,
I'm running 2.6.18 and udev 0.100-2, and have the following problem:
In /dev, I have 16 files /dev/ptyp[0-f]. I can open 15 xterm, but on the
16th, I get:
xterm: Error 32, errno 2: No such file or directory
Reason: get_pty: not enough ptys
Going to /dev and running ./MAKEDEV pty
yields this message:
# ./MAKEDEV pty
udev active, devices will be created in /dev/.static/dev/
In that directory, I have 256 pty devices (how to increase that?), but
xterm doesn't appear to see them.
I've considered reporting this problem against the udev package, but
was turned away by their message about reporting bugs to udev.
Best,
--Toni++
