Error in creating the child process

[Abbyss]

Ok so I am absolutely a newbie at this but I’m going through a major problem with my Gnome-terminal. Actually it was working very well then I affirmed to compile Linux source so I was able to go on my way with aircrack-ng and the fatal stopped working it says 'There was an error creating the child process for this terminal" I have installed it reinstalled it uninstalled it. Then on this Google it and found that it was bug 178164. I’m on ubuntu the "fix" I found did not work I tried recopying the etc/fstab file editing it through the code it told me to. Still nothing any help would be really great full.

I want to ask you something actually I want to know that did you ever obtain an answer to this question? I just ongoing am having the similar problem myself. And I am facing this from so many days. And it is really an overwhelming to observe no one has responded much to your post. That is why I think it is a bad sign. But leave this as soon as you get it post it over here I will try to solve this issue.

I have also faced this but do not worry because when I was suffering from this at that time the solution which I got it works in most of the cases. So I think now you do not have to worry only thing is that you have to follow my suggestion. Actually I was getting this in Fedora 11 after latest updates. So in this you just try to adding yourself to 'tty' group. As I mentioned that it works for me.

Thanks! That was the answer for me on ubuntu also. I consider this really relates to a permissions difficulty when using VNC. So for any user who requirements to do vnc'ing you will need to do

adduser theusername tty

and the users will require to kill their existing vncservers. Log in with a new SSH session and start new vncservers. So regarding this if you have any suggestion then share this.
