 |
|
Hi, I'm having trouble getting a terminal to run in my environment, not sure what the problem is. When I start a terminal, I get the following error:
| Code: |
There was an error creating the child process for this terminal
getpt failed: No such file or directory
|
not sure what to do to solve this. I've tried searching it out, but no luck. I can ssh in from another machine, however, and am able to emerge and do anything else from there, it's just a little strange.
I would appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks
Todd

Thanks Btoo for the advice! I was going to try that, but when I booted back into my environment, I tried the terminal again and it works now! I assume that emerge fixed the problem itself, even though I was unable to open the terminal inside the environment, I was able to ssh in from another machine and continue to emerge --sync, and emerge -uDNv world regularly. I don't recall seeing udev-init-scripts any of the times I did that, but I could have very easily overlooked it.
This one solved itself!! I guess it's a testament to the importance of keeping your system up to date!
Thanks
