PTY allocation request failed on channel 0

stdin: is not a tty

To fix this do the following:

Add the following line to /etc/fstab (in the domU):

none /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0

Then run:

mkdir /dev/pts
mount /dev/pts

Enjoy!

#!/bin/bash
clear
while [ 1 ]
do
 uptime
 df -h | grep Filesystem
 df -h | grep rootfs
 df -h | grep usb
 echo ""
 Temp1=$(cat /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/lm90/0-004c/temp1_input)
 Temp2=$(cat /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/lm90/0-004c/temp2_input)
 echo "MB T  = "$Temp1
 echo "CPU T = "$Temp2
 sleep 1
 clear
done

Insert it in a file. I called it stats.sh

chmod a+x stats.sh

and run with ./stats.sh

It updates every second and returns:

• uptime with load
• Disk space and usb disk space
• MB temp
• CPU temp

You can add all you want in there or remove what you don’t need :-)

apt-get install xserver-xorg-core xorg
apt-get install gdm (or xdm/kdm)

Just in case run

mkdir /dev/pts
mount -t devpts /dev/ptmx /dev/pts

add the above code to run on bootup and make the file executable

Alternate solution 1:
Add the following at the end of your config file

extra = 'console=hvc0 xencons=tty'

Alternate Solution 2:

chmod 666 /dev/ptmx
chmod 666 /dev/null
