Weblog entry #7 for eric
See all weblog entries made by eric.
(as this problem concerns Debian and Xen... i post it here, maybe not the best place) Hi all,
As I use testing now at home, i'm a little bit frustrated with stable at work on my desktop. So i used Xen to made a clone of my system (with dd) and 'apt-get dist-upgrade' it. All worked fine, but now i can't make my Vnc+Gdm work (made following this article), and I need it to work.
I got this kind of errors in my Xorg.0.log :
Fatal server error: xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (No such file or directory) (WW) xf86CloseConsole: KDSETMODE failed: Bad file descriptor (WW) xf86CloseConsole: VT_GETMODE failed: Bad file descriptor
When i launch vncserver in a ssh, with
vncserver -geometry 2304x864 -depth 24it works well... and I can connect to it
Its strange because it's exactly the same line i have in my /etc/gdm/gdm.conf Anyone got an idea ?

Strange, it still works fine for me with GDM + VNC.
The lack of /dev/tty0 seems weird. Does that exist in your virtual system?

I have a /dev/tty and many others /dev/tty* and... oh, i also have a /dev/tty1 but no tty0.
I have googled and found nothing interesting about this error message

Run this inside your Xen instance and reboot it to see if it helps:
cd /dev ./MAKEDEV consoleonly
(This will create a /dev/ttyS0 entry.)

(This will create a /dev/ttyS0 entry.)You want to mean /dev/tty0?
No success, i already tried the MAKEDEV method but without reboot.
But i got this message
udev active, devices will be created in /dev/.static/dev/and in fact i have a /dev/.static/dev/tty0 device.
Now, how can i associate it with /dev/tty0 (a symbolic link won't survive a reboot i think)?
