Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: udev
Summary: If udev is stopped you can't launch any graphical terminal
(tested: gnome-terminal, xterm)
Reproduction:
- open a terminal
- type "sudo /etc/init.d/udev stop"
- try to open another terminal
I read that this is caused by the absence of /dev/{shm,pts,console} but
I don't know if this is true.
Why this is a bug to me:
A lowlevel service should not be a requirement for something like a graphical
terminal. I can't see any good reason, why these device nodes (if they are
needed) are not created statically at boot time.
