Re: Gnome-terminal doesn't show prompt

[James Henstridge <james daa com au>]

Is the gnome-pty-helper program setuid root?  It is located in the
$(prefix)/sbin directory.  The permissions shown when you run look at it
with ls -l should be something like "-rwsr-xr-x" (note the s).  If they
are not, run the following as root:
  chown root.root $(prefix)/sbin/gnome-pty-helper
  chmod a=rx,u+ws $(prefix)/sbin/gnome-pty-helper

(where you replace $(prefix) with whatever prefix you installed gnome
under).

James.
