Package: udev
Version: 0.114-2
Severity: Serious
System: Debian, kernel 2.6.21-2 amd64, x86_64
Two levels of bug:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
LEVEL 1: At boot time
a) "cat /dev/null: Permission denied" is written during the boot
[When booting is done, going to a terminal and typing "cat /dev/null" is ok and
"ls -l /dev/null" gives
"crw -rw---- root root /dev/null"]
b) KDE log screen appears but after writing password, I cannot log under KDE.
c) This problem is SOLVED by going to a terminal and doing:
cd /dev
chmod a+rw /dev/null
chmod a+rw /dev/urandom
chmod a+rw /dev/random
(This has to be done at each reboot)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
LEVEL 2: Konsole refuse to open a terminal (pty problems).
Once booted, no access to a xterm or a Konsole
a) The reason is that "Konsole" cannot open a pty
b) pty devices do not exist in /dev
c) I cannot create the devices by hand because doing in /dev, "MAKEDEV pty"
gives
"udev is active, devices will be created in /dev/.static/pty
So nothing created in /dev and the problem is still here.
d) I cannot copy the devices from /dev/.static/pty/ to /dev.
"cp /dev/.static/pty/* /dev" gives (french to english translation) "Can't open
pty* to read: no peripheric or address"
