Testing kills shm and pts
 

So I enabled testing, community-testing and kde-unstable
updated yaourt -Syu and reebooted. Now when ever I boot the
machine the /dev/shm and /dev/pts get mounted so that
only root can write into them. So I cannot use shm as
a normal user and no terminal emulator can create
a /dev/pts/0 node.

Please don't top post.
Anyways, this sort of thing really belongs in bugs.archlinux.org

Um what? You're going to need to be a little more specific. --Kaiting.

This is still very broad and not very specific. You updated to a lot of
packages from testing and unstable repositories. Since you updated so
many, it is difficult to track down which package caused this problem.


It would be good if you could say specifically what package you updated
to caused this problem.


Unless this is scratch system you are going to blow away, my advice is
that you boot with some other medium, mount this install, and use pacman
from the other medium to downgrade the install (after you have fixed
/etc/pacman.conf on the broken system).


If you want to continue down this path, once you are back to a normal
system, one at a time you could make these repositories higher priority,
update and reboot until it breaks, then fix again, then you'd have a
better idea what package it was that caused this problem.

What is the contents of your /etc/fstab? What are the permissions of
/lib/udev/devices/{shm,pts}?

Cheers,

drwxr-xr-x root root
for both in /lib/udev/devices
same in /dev after boot.

Ah, sorry, didn't notice.

To fix shm you should add "mode=1777" to the options. What is your use
case here btw? Pulseaudio?

Glibc should be able to create pts devices in /dev/pts even if it is
owned by root (using /usr/lib/pt_chown). However, if that does not
work you could try adding "guid=5,mode=620" to the options. Out of
curiosity, how exactly do you reproduce this bug?

Let me know how it goes.

Cheers,

Tom

PS

Does anyone else out there know why our standard /etc/fstab is not
something like:


# <file system> <dir> <type> <options>
<dump> <pass>
devpts /dev/pts devpts nosuid,noexec,guid=5,mode=620
0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs nosuid,noexec,nodev,mode=1777
0 0
