Hey guys,
I just setup debian pocketworkstation on my zaurus running pdaxii13. Now whenever I run rxvt I get the follow error: urxvt: can't initialize pseudo-tty, aborting. Anybody know what the problem is??? Thanks, VirtusRex |

Rxvt on Debian or PdaXii13?
Have you tried other terminals? |

I also had this problem often in the past.
IIRC mounting devpts manually helped. CODE mount -t devpts devpts /dev/pts But I don't know why exactly this helped, and it also didn't always help. Somehow the amount of available pseudo-ttys was exhausted, maybe becuase the pseudo-ttys didn't get released again after usage. But this is all only a guess. Does anyone have definitive information? daniel |

But why??  daniel An old question, but for the record and the next one looking for a solution: Most probably because the card was mounted implicitly with -o nodev. Adding the option 'dev' in /etc/fstab for the sd-card (where I installed pocketworkstation) solved the problem for me. detlef |
