Hi all, The update to glibc-2.18 removes pt_chown which is a security risk. It is not needed on an Arch system given we have /dev/pts. However, some people appear to have /dev/pts in their /etc/fstab file, which generates it with the wrong permissions. This will result in errors like "grantpt failed: Operation not permitted". To fix this, remove that line from your fstab file. systemd will take care of generating /dev/pts with the right permissions. Allan
