What is the output you get from this command: ls -lL /dev/ptmx ? Check the release notes and see what the bugs are before you "pkg image-update" to a bleeding edge unstable / development build: http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/indiana-discuss/2009-December/017260.html In particular I think your problem might have something to do with this bug (something about the permissions on "/dev/ptmx" being screwed up and "pfexec chmod a+rw /dev/ptmx" fixing it (see links below): http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=445126 http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=437064 http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=12380 http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=13300 http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=12527 Yeah.... I hate the X-windows bugs in build 130 too (see links): http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=120664&tstart=75 http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=120685&tstart=75 If you noodle around with build 130 for a bit and still can't get everything working in a way that satisfies you, then I recommend that you use the "beadm" command to roll back to the ZFS snapshot of your old 2009.06 boot environment until snv_131 comes out. But before you do that, try the chmod /dev/ptmx thing and see if it works. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
