I think your problem is in your fstab file , try to fix the problem in it.



Backup your fstab :



sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.backup


Add this line at the end your fstab :



gksu gedit /etc/fstab


add this line at the end :



devpts                  /dev/pts        devpts           rw             0 0

  • I don't have that in my system. Why you think he needs it?

  • I agree with Braiam, messing around with fstab (and not even suggesting to backup it before) is really dangerous.
