[Lxc-users] "PTY allocation request failed on channel 0 - stdin: is not a tty"

[Patrick Kevin McCaffrey]

Sorry for the late reply, but it was a holiday weekend here in the US.  Thank you for your input.  Creating the devpts.conf as you described allows me to SSH into my running container.  However, lxc-console is still unresponsive.  When I run the command ("lxc-console -n container_name") it says "press ctrl+a q to exit" but anything I do after entering the initial command doesn't do anything.  The terminal still lets me type, but lxc-console doesn't appear to work.

At least I can SSH into my containers now.  Thank you for that, as it allows me to continue forward with the implementation that I had planned to use.

Pat

I have configured the container using the methods described at http://blog.bodhizazen.net/linux/lxc-linux-containers/ and http://blog.bodhizazen.net/linux/lxc-configure-ubuntu-lucid-containers/.  However, I'm running into a problem when trying to connect to my container via ssh or the lxc-console.  When I try to connect I get the following:

hi,

Try this:

$ cat /etc/init/devpts.conf
start on startup

exec mount -t devpts none /dev/pts -o rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=0620
