Subject: bug#18081: openpty fails on standalone guix
Date: Tue, 22 Jul 2014 12:54:27 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87tx695o70.fsf@yeeloong.lan> (raw)
openpty fails for unprivileged users on standalone guix. For example,
running 'script' or 'screen' fails, and running M-x shell within emacs
results in a bash without job control, because emacs uses pipes to
communicate with the subprocess instead of pseudo-ttys, apparently
because it was unable to use openpty.
I've found that I can fix the problem by unmounting /dev/pts and then
remounting with the same options that LFS uses for its /etc/fstab:
"gid=1004,mode=620". That gid corresponds to the 'tty' group.
