After upgrading from openSUSE 11.4 to 12.1 I've got the same error message. "Cannot read input: bad stream or EOF." The problem was a the missing "/dev/tty" device. Instead of an character device I found an empty regular file. # ls -l /dev/tty -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 26 11:03 /dev/tty So I removed that file and created the right character device again. # rm /dev/tty # mknod /dev/tty c 5 0 # ls -l /dev/tty crw-r--r-- 1 root root 5, 0 Jan 26 12:16 /dev/tty Happy days! Everything is back to normal. PS: I'm not hundred percent convinced that this is reproducible. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
