Did you disable Unix ptys perchance? You need them to connect bash shells to their input mechanism, among other things.

Re: [SLUG] terminal broken on 2.6.8
CONFIG_INPUT is set to y. Kernel is 2.6.8.1, diirect from kernel.org. I've narrowed this down to : the terminal emulators (konsole, gnomeconsole, xterm) load Ok but they do not fireup bash (according to the dependencies shown on the system monitor). And these consoles are really just x11 wrappers for bash aren't they ? So... what would prevent bash running ? I'm running a homegrown 2.6.7 at the moment, on the same box, with no problems. cheers Rod --- Brought to you by a thunderbird, penguin, gnu and a camel Peter Chubb wrote: "Rod" == Rod Butcher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: Rod> The latter, with both USB and PS2 keyboard. cheers Rod Make sure that CONFIG_INPUT is on in your kernel config.

[SLUG] terminal broken on 2.6.8
Still can't get any terminal (gnome, Konsole, xterm) to work on 2.6.8 - they all load ok and display a cursor but won't allow text input. I saw a note on Mandrake website about them having this with 10.2 beta. I checked my VT kernel compile options and they all look the same as what I used for 2.6.7. Only difference is I deactivated a whole load of kernel options for hardware I don't have, and changed the CPU option from x86 to Athlon. What should I look for ? Can't find any error meesages in logs. I'm sure this is a minor config change issue rather than a bug. I know I can go back to 2.6.7 but it'd be good to learn something from this which is part of my linux self-education.
