I an not able to start an "xterm" as apposed to the
gnome-terminal. This is an inconvenience under normal
X sessions, but also means that the "safe session" does
not work.
On starting an xterm, either as a normal user or as root
I get the message:
xterm: fatal pty error 23 (errno=22) on tty /dev/pts/3
The gnome-terminal, or perhaps gnome-pty-helper, is able
to create /dev/pts/<nn> device files.
Anyone using xterm successfully?
Any hints?
