I am having an error that I think is related to this thread, but I can't
quite fix it. I am very much a newbie, just installed Ubuntu 9.10 last
weekend.
I am able to launch a terminal window just fine from the main menu.
I found this posting on how to rip CDs automatically with ABCDE, and did al
I had the same 2 errors.
I had kept /etc/init.d/mountdevsufs.sh since June, 2008.
'sudo mv /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh.dpkg-dist /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh'
got rid of the 2 errors.
Thank you, Scott James Remnant.

Scott I am sorry but my brother in law do have this problem and I did

This is caused by a modification you have made to your system and failed
to account for in the upgrade.
Either
1) your /etc/rcS.d directory has been re-ordered such that
S11mountdevsubfs.sh is no longer S11 (or S10udev is no longer S10)
2) your /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh file has custom mod

Many thanks Scott.
I did as instructed and used the following command :-
mv /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh.dpkg-dist /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh

added as follows:-

brickatius: you have modified /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh, and declined
the conffile prompt on upgrade; the following command will fix it:

Thanks for the comments.
It should should not be needed to have devpts in /etc/fstab, there is a init
script:
/etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh
that deals with mounting the required devpts filesystem. Do you have that file?
Do you also have the symlink at:
/etc/rcS.d/S11mountdevsubfs.sh
?

Same problem here with update manager and terminal. If you can't open a
terminal do ALT + F2 to open the 'run application' window and then type the
following
gksudo gedit /etc/fstab
then add the line as suggested above. Has cured the problem for me.

change to root and edit /etc/stab

encountering the same error. Thanks t
