 |
|
Does anyone know if it's possible to log in to a Gentoo minimal CD via SSH?
I thought it was, but trying it today (with the correct password) I just get the
error message "PTY allocation request failed on channel 0" and a solid hang.
I have to close the terminal window to clear it. Is there a way around this,
am I doing something dumb, where will it all end, what does it all mean,
and answers to other useful questions gratefully received.
Thanks - Will

Hello
I managed to do it a few month ago...
On an usb stick (made by UNetbootin with the gentoo minimal iso) I modified a file (I don't remember which one...) to made the default boot option to :
| Code: | | gentoo-nofb dosshd passwd=foo |
If you have a screen, which was not my case, you can launch this boot command manually...
PS : sorry for my bad english |

Whatever the problem was, it's now gone away, and I can log in as I expected
to. I thought it might be something to do with the "Out of PTYs" messages,
which I still get, but apparently not.
