Subject: Linode Issue

Alfredo,

This is an issue I am currently working with Linode to resolve. I believe the issue is due to a recent security upgrade they have applied to their systems. To work around this issue, the following needs to be done:

Go to your Linode Manager -> Click the Linode -> Remote Access… Launch LISH AJAX Console and log in as root with your credentials.

With the LISH AJAX console opened, do the following:

nano /etc/fstab

type the following after the last entry:

none /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0

Press CTRL – O to save the file. Restart the Linode through Linode Manager, or if you can’t restart immediately, 

you can also type the command in LISH AJAX console:

mount -t devpts devpts /dev/pts

rm -f /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
