    No More PTYs, Sorry could not find a PTY


    I get this error when trying to run the following command:

    screen ./start.sh

    I'm trying to start a battlefield 2 server, and I'm NOT logged in as root (for security reasons). However, when I try this WITH root, it does work, and I don't get this error. I've also tried checking the permissions in /dev and they're all CHMOD 666 which should work, right?

    Thanks,
    SamnTheMan

    Is the user you're doing this with a member of the group tty?

    usermod will allow you to change what groups a user is in; groupadd will allow you to add a group.
