Hi. I've encountered the following trouble: 1. Boot the system. devpts has correct mount options and vte terminals work fine: vadim@aquila:~$ mount -t devpts devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000) 2. Run mkarchiso init. In my case, it is run from a script: vadim@aquila:/media/stuff/Проекты/Личные/AL/al-iso$ su -c 'bash /media/stuff/Проекты/Личные/AL/al-iso/build.sh -v' mkarchiso init executes command mount -t devpts devpts ${work_dir}/root-image/dev/pts Executing that command seems to drop mount options of /dev/pts, now we have both devpts mount points have the same options: vadim@aquila:~$ mount -t devpts devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,mode=600,ptmxmode=000) devpts on /media/stuff/Проекты/Личные/AL/al-iso/work/i686/root-image/dev/pts type devpts (rw,relatime,mode=600,ptmxmode=000) And vte terminals stop to work after that, of course. -- Regards, Vadim Ushakov
