pmam,
A few things to check.
grep PTY /usr/src/linux/.config, you need | Code: | | CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS=y |
If thats OK, the filesystem needs to be mounted. It will show in mount as
| Code: | | devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620) |
If thats missing, mount it manually and tell the error, if there in one.
A long time ago you used to need an entry in /etc/fstab like
| Code: | | devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620 0 0 |
I still have it but the automagiic is supposed to do the mount for you.

NeddySeagoon,
| Code: | | CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS=y |
This ok.
but I do not know what to do with this:
| Code: | | devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620) |
Need to add it to /etc/fstab?
I added this line to /etc/fstab:
| Code: | | devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620 0 0 |
and get some error during booting. I found this in /var/lo/messages:
'Failed login /dev/tty1 FOR root...' - I dont have X server so can not copy here.
what do you mean by that:
| Quote: | | mount it manually and tell the error |
If I need to hit this command in terminal, Please note the exact command.
It is very important to me to know if I did something wrong,
or if I can prevent it in the future because it is not nice problem -
I do not have X server, no network (causing to distcc issue...) and so on - Please advise!
Thanks

pmam,
If all is well when you issue the command, the output should include the line.
| Code: | | devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620) |
If thats missing, try | Code: | | mount -t devpts devpts -o rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620 /dev/pts |
and post the error message.
In /dev, what does | Code: | ls -l /dev/null
ls -l /dev/console |
show?
I get | Code: | crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 May 12 2013 /dev/null
crw------- 1 root root 5, 1 Feb 2 17:30 /dev/console |

pmam,
pts is a directory. Try | Code: | mkdir /dev/pts
mount -t devpts devpts -o rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620 /dev/pts |
This will drop out every reboot but it should get you going.
Something (udev?) should create /dev/pts and mount devpts there for you in early boot.
What does mount say about /dev?
| Code: | | dev on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,nosuid,relatime,size=10240k,nr_inodes=4072251,mode=755) |
is what one of my systems gives.

after this no error.
| Quote: | | What does mount say about /dev? |
I have this line:
| Code: | | devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620) |
what to do now - reboot?

pmam,
That worked. If you reboot, you will be back to where you started.
We need to determine why /dev/pts is not created but with the steps you have done, your system should work until you reboot.
What does mount show for /dev?
Thats where /dev/pts will be created.

NeddySeagoon,
I made reboot by mistake and now I dont know how to repeat this process -
| Code: | mkdir /dev/pts
mount -t devpts devpts -o rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620 /dev/pts |
It says that files exist and already mounted but mount do not show this line:
| Code: | | devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620) |
EDIT: sorry, I see this line!!! but how to go a head - there is no X server and no network...
| Code: | | devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620 0 0 |
Need to add this line to /etc/fstab?

pmam,
It sounds like you now have a static /dev as /dev should be created in RAM, yet /dev/pts persisted over a reboot.
What does mount show for /dev?
I get | Code: | | dev on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,nosuid,relatime,size=10240k,nr_inodes=4072251,mode=755) |
but only | Code: | | dev on /dev type devtmpfs |
matters here.

mount show this line only:

I dont have something like you have:
| Code: | | dev on /dev type devtmpfs |
Thats not.

pmam,
That confirms that /dev is not being mounted. That is the cause of your problem.
A few things to check. First in your kernel
| Code: | $ grep DEVTMP /usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_DEVTMPFS=y
CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT=y |
you neet the first one but the second one is optional.
Both | Code: | grep TMPFS /usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_DEVTMPFS=y
CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT=y |
are required.
If you don't have them, do not rebuild your kernel yet.
Now udev.
Is udevd running?
| Code: | $ ps -Alf | grep udevd
Warning: /usr/src/linux/System.map has an incorrect kernel version.
5 S root 1554 1 0 80 0 - 7247 - 2014 ? 00:00:00 /sbin/udevd --daemon
0 S roy 30113 30085 0 80 0 - 1672 - 22:21 pts/1 00:00:00 grep --colour=auto udevd |
The important bit is /sbin/udevd --daemon
Is this a laptop?

NeddySeagoon,
My outputs:
| Code: | grep DEVTMP /usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_DEVTMPFS=y
# CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT is not set |
| Code: | grep TMPFS /usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_DEVTMPFS=y
# CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT is not set
CONFIG_TMPFS=y
CONFIG_TMPFS_XATTR=y |
I dont rebuild kernel.
| Code: | | ps -Alf | grep udevd |
Output only one line - dont have the line of /sbin/udevd --daemon.
Yes.
Thanks

Please inform me if this problem can be resolved or
it requires a new system installation?

pmam,
If you have laptop-tools installed please downgrade it, if thats possible.
There is a better fix, I've seen it posted a few days ago.
The symptoms are identical. udev is not starting.
I will try to find you a link to the forums thread.
It seems that starting udev is the answer.
udev should be in the sysinit runlevel. Add it there if | Code: | | /sbin/rc-update show |
shows that it is missing.
Downgrading laptop-tools was the answer to a different issue.

I guess you meant to laptop-mode-tools - I dont have it.
| Code: | | /sbin/rc-update show |
I see that udev has sysinit - but why it is not starting???
Waiting for your link.
Thanks

pmam,
I edited the post above to add the link.
Do yod get an error if you stort udev by hand ?
It maybe started and crashed.
Try | Code: | | /etc/init.d/udev start |

According the thread you gave me, I checked with eix command and found:
openrc installed rev: 0.12.4 - the same as available rev.
udev-init-script installed rev: 27 -but available rev is: 26-r2 - Is this a problem?
EDIT: and there is a '?' sign near it - not like 'I' as for openrc - Is it means it is not installed??
In the thread there is another issue regarding firmware -
I assume it is not relevant for me - Right?
Thanks

pmam,
I've just installed eix to attempt to answer your questions.
Thank you for pointing it out to me.
As I'm new to eix, please post exactly what eix shows you.
My server gives | Code: | eix udev-init-script
[I] sys-fs/udev-init-scripts
Available versions: 26-r2^t{tbz2} 27^t{tbz2} **9999^t
Installed versions: 27^t{tbz2}(16:44:33 09/02/14)

NeddySeagoon,
Since I do not have gui I will try to describe the output of:
| Code: | | eix udev-init-script |
-
| Code: | [?] sys-fs/udev-init-scripts - Here instead of [I] I get [?] - I do not find what does it mean in eix -h, but I saw it in other packages - maybe someone in the forum will explain.
Available versions: 26-r2^t 27^t **9999^t - same as yours but without {tbz2}.
Installed versions: 27^t (02/02/15)
Homepage: http://www.gentoo.org
Description: udev startup scripts for openrc |
EDIT: maybe re-emerge it with chroot ( I dont have network)?
In my desktop it is also with [?]
P.S:
| Quote: | I've just installed eix to attempt to answer your questions.

I consider this as a joke - I showed you something new... 
Thanks

pmam,
Its not a joke. eix is new to me. Its looks very useful but I will need to learn to use it.
Having read the man page several times, I don't see the ? as in | Code: | | [?] sys-fs/udev-init-scripts |
being explained
Lets go back to your error | Code: | | 'ERROR: udev needs service dev-mount' |
In the past, this has been caused by openrc updates.
When you updated openrc did you also use etc-update to update the scripts atd configuration files that it depends on?

I dont remember regarding openrc in particular, but I used etc-update, and maybe I did it -
how can I check it?

My pleasure - Yes it is a nice useful tool.
