From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Date: Wed, 20 Oct 2004 10:13:41 -0500 From: Karl Sackett To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu Message-ID: <20041020151341.GA1466167@hiwaay.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.4i Subject: [9fans] plan9port: 9term won't connect Topicbox-Message-UUID: f1b21192-eacd-11e9-9e20-41e7f4b1d025 I have plan9port installed under Fedora Core 2. When I run 9term from a bash shell I get this: sstbpc65$ 9term 9term: no ptys The frame of the 9term window opens, then closes as the error message comes up. When I run strace on 9term I get this: ... open("/dev/ptya0", O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENXIO (No such device or address) open("/dev/ptya1", O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENXIO (No such device or address) open("/dev/ptya2", O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENXIO (No such device or address) ... open("/dev/pty80", O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/dev/pty90", O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) write(2, "9term: no ptys\n", 159term: no ptys ) = 15 exit_group(0) = ? No ptys? Nonsense: sstbpc65$ ls /dev/pty* |wc 256 256 2816 sstbpc65$ ll /dev/ptya0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 2, 176 Feb 23 2004 /dev/ptya0 sstbpc65$ ll /dev/ptyzf crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 2, 175 Feb 23 2004 /dev/ptyzf So it's running through all the pty devices and can't find any of them. Any suggestions on how to fix this? I have plan9port running on two Debian machines and I've never encountered this problem before. -- Karl Sackett K4KRS krs@hiwaay.net "I am not allowed to mount a bayonet on a crew-served weapon."
