Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/1' - please check.

"Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/1' - please check."

I get this error after I ran a CSS server and typed "screen -x pancha-css". I run one CSS server from u1096 and one from pancha users in system. u1096's CSS server works fine but in pancha I get this error. What to do?

Server specifications:
Virtual Dedicated server (VDS) running on XEN.
256 Mb RAM.
Debian GNU/Linux Sarge
Kernel 2.6.16

If you run libc6-2.2.4 then upgrade to libc6-2.2.6 this will fix the problem.

[get]

normally this ocurs when you log in tu the machine using root and then su - to user who starts the screen

try to log in directly as user
even done type:
screen -wipe

and then:
screen -r pancha-css

I did like get said, now I get this error:
"Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/3' - please check."

k2chris1983, how can I check what version of libc is installed or whether it is installed at all?

[k2chris1983]

dpkg -l | grep libc6

That should give you the info you need, sorry i have been out of the state. Snowboarding (SnowShoe)

Oh yea,

Do you know what the chmod of that pts is? There could be a problem with chmodding, and if you have the latest Ver of Linc6 which you should!! Try chmodding PTS to allow others read/write access....
