I have a STRATO V-PowerServer running with Ubuntu 10.10 for my stuff but lately have problems connection to the server via ssh.
Basically all I have is ssh-access to the server and if necessary I can boot into a recovery-mode where all my stuff is in /repair so that I can do any fixes on the system.
The problem is, that when I try to connect to the server via ssh I get this error:
Using username "florian".
florian@mydomain.de's password:
Server refused to allocate pty
Linux hwn36335 2.6.18-028stab070.5 #1 SMP Fri Sep 17 15:37:23 MSD 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
Ubuntu 10.10
Welcome to Ubuntu!
* Documentation: https://help.ubuntu.com/
/home/florian/.zlogin:1: command not found: display_info
So the shell doesn't open and I can't enter any commands. I've already tried to google for "Server refused to allocate pty" but couldn't find anything that helped, though the problem has happened to other people before. Additionally, I sometimes even get a different error: "pty allocation request failed on channel 0" instead of the other error. For this problem all I could find was this:
http://blog.dinotools.de/2010/10/03/fehler-pty-allocation-request-failed-on-channel-0
But unfortunately it didn't help...
Does anybody have an idea why this error is caused and what I could try to fix it?
Would be great if you could give me tips. I know some basic things and know how to work with my server but if it goes this deep into problem-solving I am at my limits... ;-) Thanks!
