[SuSE Linux] wall and tty
![](https://seccdn.libravatar.org/avatar/bbf87248adb60d39eadeea22a02c2d2e.jpg?s=120&d=mm&r=g)
To whoever was having the "wall" tty error on shuting down:
I have been having the same problem. I'm running SuSE 6.0 w/ KDE 1.0. My
xterm should be new, I assume. Seems that KDE does not know how to shut down
the tty/xterm window properly. Thus the error on shutdown.

Interesting. I haven't noticed this in KDE 1.1, but then I'm not using xterm. If you use a program called 'rxvt' (has all the functionality of xterm, it's a little lighter and it duplicates the arguement syntax mostly), the problem should go away. Rxvt doesn't open tty's, so there aren't any to close. The other solution of course is to hack KDE... Jeff -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GCS/M/>P d-(pu) s+:- a17>?
