unable to open a suitable terminal device

[MrAhmad]

Hi

every time I click in konsole I get "unable to open a suitable terminal device"


any help ?

What happens if you launch Konsole as root? What happens if you open another term (rxvt for example) and enter konsole into that terminal?

I have posted this problem earlier. When I bootfloppy from a remasterd CD there will be no
1. sound in /dev
2. ppp in /dev
3. pseudoterminals in /dev.
I wrote a script that I execute that fixes this.
You want to do at least the first 4 lines and then you will hear the lady again and you can use xterm.

Here:
#!/bin/bash

# sound stuff
alsa_snddevices
# pseeudo terminals
cd /dev
su -c 'MAKEDEV -v pty'
# ppp
su -c 'mknod /dev/ppp c 108 0'
# X configuration
su -c 'rm -f /etc/X11/XF86Config-4'
XFree86 -configure
mv /XF86Config.new /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
# gpm
su -c 'cp -a /cdrom/KNOPPIX/etc/gpm.conf /etc/gpm.conf'
/etc/init.d/gpm start
# gtk stuff for mozilla
su -c 'mkdir /home/root'
su -c 'cp -a /cdrom/KNOPPIX/home/root/.gtkrc /home/root/.gtkrc'
su -c 'cp -a /cdrom/KNOPPIX/home/root/.gtkrc /.gtkrc'
# kde setup
su -c 'cp -r /cdrom/KNOPPIX/root/.kde /root/.kde'
# mc setup
cd /
su -c 'cp -r --reply=yes /cdrom/KNOPPIX/.mc /'
su -c 'cp -r --reply=yes /cdrom/KNOPPIX/.mc /ramdisk/home/root'
# desktop to wmaker
su -c 'cp -a --reply=yes /cdrom/KNOPPIX/etc/sysconfig/desktop /etc/sysconfig/desktop'
# ppp provider
su -c 'cp -a --reply=yes /cdrom/KNOPPIX/etc/ppp/peers/provider /etc/ppp/peers/provider'
su -c 'rm -f /etc/chatscripts/provider'
su -c 'cp -a /cdrom/KNOPPIX/etc/chatscripts/provider /etc/chatscripts/provider'
