I have a similar problem after doing an upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04 beta. Attempting to start gnome-terminal results in an error message saying "There was an error creating the child process for this terminal". And I'm left with an unusable window where my bash shell should be.
SSH'ing into the box results in an error: PTY allocation request failed on channel 0 Dropping into a console and attempting to run an xterm results in a similar problem: mich...@desktop:~$ export DISPLAY=:0.0 mich...@desktop:~$ xterm xterm: Error 32, errno 2: No such file or directory Readon: get_pty: not enough ptys or starting a gnome-terminal from the console: mich...@desktop:~$ gnome-terminal Failed to contact the GConf daemon; exiting. This is the second machine I upgraded to the beta. My laptop (the first machine) does not have this problem, so I am not sure what is different that would cause this problem to occur now. -- SSH results in "There was an error creating the child process for this terminal" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/332517 You received this bug notification because you are a member of GNOME Do Plugins Team, which is subscribed to GNOME Do Plugins. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~do-plugins Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~do-plugins More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
