Package: xfce4-terminal Version: 0.6.3-2 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
Launching xfce4-terminal as normal user gives the following error message in an error window: "Failed to execute child grantpt failed: Operation not permitted" After closing the error message, the terminal window appears, but there is no shell started in it. If I gain superuser rights via su and execute xfce4-terminal, the terminal launches (with an error message saying "Failed to connect to session manager: [...]". Some reports on the internet suggested that this might be a permission problem with /dev/pts. However, I do not have an entry for /dev/pts in my /etc/fstab and the rights are as follows: devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,mode=600,ptmxmode=000) This (non-)behaviour of xfce4-terminal is fairly new, but I cannot pinpoint it to any recent update as I usually keep up just one instance of the terminal for some time.
