Re: tmux not working

Remove the /dev/pts line from your fstab file.

Not a Sysadmin issue, moving to NC...

Remove the /dev/pts line from your fstab file.

Solved the problem for me. What's the purpose of /dev/pts?

According to this, it stands for pseudo terminal slave.

Re: tmux not working

Tmux didn't work because devpts was mounted with wrong rights but I removed the /dev/pts entry of fstab (and rebooted since then).
The wrong rights was: "devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,relatime,mode=600,ptmxmode=000)"
now I set a entry in fstab with correct rights in fstab:

devpts           /dev/pts  devpts       gid=5,mode=620                  0       0

now it works. :-)

but why do I need it? where and how does systemd it?

Re: tmux not working

What happens if you remove it altogether from fstab?
It's not about systemd using it, it's about systemd taking over from fstab: just like you don't need swap configured in your fstab, systemd will take care of it itself.

Re: tmux not working

the /dev/pts line was removed in fstab but it was then mounted after reboots with the wrong rights which I postet. I don't know why
