I seem to be having an issue with devpts being mounted at boot. Since I
upgraded to 9.04, updates fail since it cannot create the pty for apt.
I had been getting around this by echoing the devpts init line into my
/etc/mtab file. I came across this bug report today, and did a
I added the following to my /etc/gdm/PreSession/Default to work-around
this issue:
#Synergy Server (root)
/usr/bin/synergys --config /etc/synergy.conf
This starts synergy automatically before login, as root. This also give
me the ability to log out of my X session and still traverse to my mac.
