37 Since my last response, I have checked that /dev/pts is mounted and it
38 is. The console-kit-daemon appears to be running. I checked
39 permissions of /dev/pts - they look okay, but I'm not sure what they
40 should be because I've never had an issue like this before. This is
41 what they are:
42
43 total 0
44 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Jan 1 17:06 .
45 drwxr-xr-x 17 root root 4680 Jan 1 17:07 ..
46 crw------- 1 colleen colleen 136, 0 Jan 1 19:07 0
47
48 I have rebooted multiple times to no avail.
49
50 I also tried googling, but haven't found anything that made any sense to me.
