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 all 
that was said there.
http://www.frozen.ca/ubuntu-tutorials/6-automatic-cd-ripping-with-abcde

The contents of my newly-created /home/.abcde.conf file are as follows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OUTPUTTYPE="mp3,ogg"
LAMEOPTS='-V 2'
OGGENCOPTS='-q 8'

OUTPUTDIR="$HOME/jennie/Music/Ripped CDs/"
OUTPUTFORMAT='${OUTPUT}/${ARTISTFILE}/${ALBUMFILE}/${TRACKNUM} - ${TRACKFILE}'
VAOUTPUTFORMAT='${OUTPUT}/Various/${ALBUMFILE}/${TRACKNUM} - ${ARTISTFILE} - 
${TRACKFILE}'

PADTRACKS=y
EJECTCD=y
MAXPROCS=2

mungefilename ()
{
    echo "$@" | sed s,:,\ -,g | tr / _ | tr -d \'\"\?\[:cntrl:\]
}
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                       

After rebooting, I pop a CD in, and up comes a blank Terminal window
with the message "There was an error creating the child process for this
terminal".

I tried a few things to fix it, such as editing /etc/fstab (didn't work,
took it out), editing /etc/sudoers to include my username for ALL
(didn't work, took it out).  I thought maybe it had something to do with
the permissions of the .abcde.conf file that I added to my home
directory as directed in the above thread, but took no action on this.

I noted that I didn't have a mountdevsubfs.sh file, so I downloaded the
dpkg-dist, then copied it into the /etc/init.d directory, set it to 755
with owner/group as root.  Rebooted.  Still doesn't work.  I note that I
don't have a SXXmountdevsubfs.sh in my /etc/rcS.d directory, and wonder
if I should, but don't know how to get one.
