Hi Akhiezer,
I found the KDE Konsole problem. Again it is a permission problem in /dev/ptmx
!!!!
It seems that the entire udev rules is not acting properly. I also have problem
with permission in /dev/tty0, /dev/tty1.
I have no idea what triggers this problem. The system was running properly
until one fine day I just restarted the computer and came accross all of these
problems.
I tried with 40-fix-permission-rules in /etc/udev/ but it seems it is no taking
any effect.
As a temporary solution I have changed the permissions in /etc/bashrc file.
I ask myself what might went wrong that caused these problems ?
What we did was playing with printing related stuff, but it has a actually
nothing to do neither with Xorg permission nor with /dev/null
Do you it is time to uninstall and reinstall udev?
As per as the printing is concerned,
I have decided not to do anything for the moment ( I have little time anyway
for the moment). I just keep it as it is.
Regards,
Roy

In case it needs saying explicitly: I'd recommend quite strongly that you
_don't_
launch into the printing stuff, _until_ you're reasonably (sensibly) sure that
your underlying system is behaving normally: otherwise you'll very likely be
wasting your time. The reported issues with can't-start-kde (/dev/... problem),
konsole (possibly /dev/... issue), X11 stuff having its permissions changed,
&(?)usw, should at least give pause for thought.
For a common-usage desktop kde setup you'd at least want to be able to do the
following reliably and repeatably:
---
* login & logout of KDE.
* clean boot & shutdown of machine.
* xterm/konsole shell environment works OK for everyday stuff.
* links/lynx/konqueror/... can show and navigate basic websites ok.
* imap/pop & smtp email (even if just through a secondary isp account) works
ok.
NB this is as distinct from webmail.
* jpg/png shows onscreen OK (maybe as part of browser tests).
---
Without (approx.) those foundations in place, for 'a common-usage desktop kde
setup' type of machine, then I'd say it's not sensible to try to build more on
top of that at this stage.
rgds,
akh
