I would have thought google would return thousands of hits for a message like 
that. But it didn't, so you have a funny one :-)

This error seems to relate to not having access to the tty device. Here's a 
good place to start:

Also check obvious things like UNIX98_PTY is enabled in your kernel, and your 
user does have permissions on the console devices /dev/{p,t}ty*

Normally, it user root, group tty and the user is in the tty group
