Hello group I've got a strange problem on this machine : FreeBSD bat.xxx.xxx.org 5.3-BETA2 FreeBSD 5.3-BETA2 #0: Mon Aug 30 19:03:00 BST 2004 tom@xxx.xxx.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 On this machine i installed a few jails, each jail has it's own root, procfs, devfs so the typical jail is like this : /dev/ad0s3f 4.8G 546M 3.9G 12% /usr/jails/j3 procfs 4.0K 4.0K 0B 100% /usr/jails/j3/proc devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /usr/jails/j3/dev I installed vncserver from ports along with xorg to give users a graphical workspace I installed blackbox windowmanager from ports I launch vncserver after modifying my xstartup script and it powers up blackbox with a xterm. but impossible to open another xterm from the blackbox menu... it doesn't do anything nor produce any output, so i look in the I first think of maybe the $PATH wasn't set correctly so i modified the menu so it uses the absolute path, but that didn't change anything and on the initial xterm, i did a quick echo $PATH which reported this : 19:53|tom@bat:~/.vnc> echo $PATH /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/tom/bin 19:57|tom@bat:~/.vnc> which xterm /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm So i checked the VNC log, and saw this cat $HOME/.vnc/`hostname`:1.log xterm: Error 14, errno 2: No such file or directory Reason: spawn: open() failed on /dev/tty xterm: Error 14, errno 2: No such file or directory Reason: spawn: open() failed on /dev/tty xterm: Error 14, errno 2: No such file or directory Reason: spawn: open() failed on /dev/tty xterm: Error 14, errno 2: No such file or directory Reason: spawn: open() failed on /dev/tty xterm: Error 14, errno 2: No such file or directory Reason: spawn: open() failed on /dev/tty Thanks in advance for *any* help on this. -tom
