I now have updated my fourth computer to Jaunty. And I had trouble with Konsole, again. The update was uneventful, and the problem occurred as described in comment 1.
However, the pty* devices did not exist this time. Trying to run konsole from a virtual terminal resulted in warnings about flow control, and could not connect to dbus. Again, I am sorry but the exact message was lost since I cannot cut and paste from my virtual terminal, and it has scrolled off the display after I performed the fix. I found a strong hint for at least an interim fix here: http://www.splatdot.com/2009/04/24/ubuntu-904-jaunty-jackalope-upgrade- notes See the notes about adding /dev/pts into the fstab. Specifically, adding this line to /etc/fstab: devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=620 0 0 and then running in a virtual terminal: $ sudo mount -a solved the problem. Apparently one needs to reorder the init scripts to make sure it (and my RAID -- another story) work on reboot. I noticed that /dev/pty* devices still do not exist, but that is not a worry to me. Seems like a much more appropriate and less risky fix than adding a user to a group. Hope this helps. -- Konsole Shell Refused to Start after 8.10 -> 9.04 upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/367608 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kdebase in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
