Public bug reported: Binary package hint: mountall
After an update this evening (last update was 2009-10-02) ssh failed to access the box, returning this error: br...@chideok:~$ ssh -x 192.168.1.157 PTY allocation request failed on channel 0 Connection to 192.168.1.157 closed. It turned out that /dev/pts was missing. I was able to work around the problem by creating it manually: sudo mkdir /dev/pts sudo mount -t devpts -o gid=5,mode=620 devpts /dev/pts $ mount /dev/sda3 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro) tmpfs on /lib/init/rw type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,mode=0755) proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) varrun on /var/run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,mode=0755) varlock on /var/lock type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=1777) udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755) none on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw,relatime) fusectl on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw,relatime) debugfs on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw,relatime) binfmt_misc on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) ** Affects: mountall (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- (regression) mountall fails to mount /dev/pts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/451005 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
