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.) -leif -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
