Details as follows: Fresh install of FBSD 10 FreeBSD fbsd10.purplehat.org 10.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT #0: Mon May 13 00:54:58 UTC 2013 root@snap.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64) I've installed XFCE4 and Fluxbox as a play-around/test WM along with x11/aterm. Everything seems to be working perfectly aside from the fact that I can no longer use the 'aterm' command. Any time I try to start an instance of 'aterm', I get the following error: aterm: ca't open pseudo-tty aterm: aborting So, of course, my immediate reaction/thought is that I'm out of TTY's. However, I'm only one user and there is only 2 TTY's being used (my initial login and my X session). In the mean time, Xterm and rxvt work perfectly fine. No errors, no issues. Is there something that has changed with FBSD 10 regarding the Unix98 PTY support or something? There are many people that don't seem to have this issue at all using the same default snapshot. What am I missing here? As always, thanks in advance. I wouldn't mind switching terminal emulators. I just find Aterm to have a ton of options for the size and ease of use. I would certainly be disappointed if it were no longer available for FBSD 10. :( Regards, Janky Jay, III
