Fork Pty3

The terminal process failed to launch: A native exception occurred during launch (fork(pty3) failed.).

Solution

• Mount arguments were incorrect?
• Need solution to “failed to fork PTY” and “error creating the child process” problems (linuxquestions.org)

The link says to put this in /etc/fstab

devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=620 0 0

I actually used

devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,seclabel,gid=5,mode=620,ptxmode=000

A working box showed the following output

mount | grep pts
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,seclabel,gid=5,mode=620,ptxmode=000)

My broken box showed

mount | grep pts
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,seclabel,mode=600,ptxmode=000)
