Konsole and Yakuake stopped showing prompt...[SOLVED]

Hi,
Probably a very obvious but I could not find the culprit. After I updated my system (32Bit plain Arch) to KDE 4.11, Konsole and Yakuake stopped showing prompt, just a cursor on top left and most importantly, they do not accept input. Xterm and rxvt-unicode is installed, I reinstalled them, and I also checked konsolerc, but nothing is wrong there. Also, when I use krunner using Alt-F2 to summon a program like gparted with "kdesu gparted" it returns "su cannot be located, check your PATH". I check, and su is in path.

There is something I miss, but what? Help please.
Thank you in advance.
Anil

Thank you very much. I made the change in /etc/fstab as stated in the post you pointed, remarking out /dev/pts line, I restarted the PC and everything is fine now.
Thank you again.

Not solved in my case. I've had had no prompt in konsole/yakuake for about 4 weeks now. My fstab did never include /dev/pts. This seems to me like a new issue.

Instead of trying to overtake an old (solved) thread, it would probably be better if you started your own.  You have already established that you likely have an entirely different issue.  So I am not entirely sure what you hoped to accomplish by posting here in the first place.

As WonderWoofy states, it is time for a new thread.  Feel free to start one and, if you feel it appropriate, include a link back to this thread.  Thanks.

Closing.
