Same here,

a)open console, 
b)hold CTRL, ALT and push F1
c)login as root user
d)sudo su
e)add this line to my /etc/fstab file to resolve issue...

devpts          /dev/pts        devpts  noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=620    0       0
f) type   mount -a
g)hold CTRL, ALT and push F1 to get back into the console mode (or just type 
exit, then type exit again).
h)open terminal

NO REBOOT REQUIRED

Also, I just upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10 and got the same error, this broke
my ability to SSH to the server as well.
