FWIW, your mounts should look like this (or very similar):

$ mount | egrep "pts|shm"
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=0620)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev)

Likewise:

$ cat /etc/mtab | egrep "pts|shm"
none /dev/pts devpts rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=0620 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev 0 0

(You could copy the above two entries into your /etc/fstab, or modify
the ones there accordingly in case they already exist.)
