 |
|
[EDIT]
see here for details.
Hi all,
I'm having a bit of a chroot problem. If I chroot into my 32bit environment, change to my user and try to open another xterm I get the following error:
| Code: |
james@athos james $ xterm
xterm: Error 32, errno 2: No such file or directory
Reason: get_pty: not enough ptys
james@athos james $
|
I am using the following script to log into my chroot enviroment:
| Code: |
#!/bin/sh
# mount 32 bit folders
mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo32/proc/
mount -o bind /dev/ /mnt/gentoo32/dev/
mount -o bind /tmp/ /mnt/gentoo32/tmp/
mount -o bind /home/ /mnt/gentoo32/home/
mount -o bind /usr/portage/ /mnt/gentoo32/usr/portage/
mount -o bind /usr/share/ /mnt/gentoo32/usr/share/
# start & configure 32Bit env
linux32 chroot /mnt/gentoo32/ /bin/bash --login
env-update
source /etc/profile
|
Anyone know what might be the problem?
Cheers,
Roboguy

Check your kernel config, under "Device Drivers --> Character Devices" and see if you have PTY support and what the maximum number of instances is.

The thing is I can open new xterms as a normal user from my x86_64 environment no problem so I don't think it's anything to do with my kernel. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with being inside the chroot.
I'm using devfs (haven't gotten round to upgrading to udev). Could that be the problem?
Cheers,
