should look like this: ls -hl /dev/pts insgesamt 0 crw--w---- 1 <user> tty 136, 0 30. Dez 21:37 0 crw------- 1 <user> tty 136, 1 2. Jan 01:20 1 crw------- 1 <user> tty 136, 2 1. Jan 21:15 2 crw------- 1 <user> tty 136, 3 1. Jan 23:19 3 crw------- 1 <user> tty 136, 4 1. Jan 21:31 4 so the question is, where did it get borked. To clear something up, what did you emerge in the time before this happend? Also, useflags for kdelibs please. > I have rebooted multiple times to no avail. yeah because something sets the permissions wrong. > > I also tried googling, but haven't found anything that made any sense to me. > try googling pts permissions. When you cat mtab, do you find something like this: /etc/mtab: devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620 0 0 is the devfs initscript run? does it look ok? (having this: devpts /dev/pts 0755 ,gid=5,mode=0620 devpts ) -- #163933
