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 and undid the change I had made to /etc/fstab by deleting the line which I had added as follows:- devpts /dev/pts devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=620) All is now working as it should.
