Failed to open PTY in xfce4 tigervnc desktop

[fengxue-jrql]

I can't run xfce4-terminal in xfce4 desktop,but I can run xfce4 terminal on TermuxExager version 2.0.but the version 2.1 speed is higer tan 2.0. The error is :Failed to open PTY,I search the error in the internet,I find it maybe caused by the /dev/pts not mount,but the script have the line :proot_command+=" -b /dev",so I think this error is caused by inadequate permissions.it maybe also caused your's Mount mode。 the speed start winetricks gui is quickly,this is good.

Correct me if I'm wrong but one reason why you are not getting the same problem is that you might have built exagear from source code on your phone on termux and that might have made it to only work perfectly on your phone's username so my bet if you build the source code on a deferent device you won't get the Failed to open PTY problem and there are two ways to fix this the first is to public the modified source code and give document how to build it or find a way to make it work on any user id/username

lmao, Exagear is closed-source, that is, proprietary, So it is unlikely to be the problem. The problem appeared after the commit https://github.com/ZhymabekRoman/Exagear-For-Termux/commit/ec461d57cc7e888b7c8e8d641e8e23a47bd8f954 and only two files were changed in that commit - bin/vpaths-list and start-exagear.sh

[ZhymabekRoman]

I have implemented a workaround that solves this problem. To do this, you need to run start-exagear with the parameter --old: start-exagear.sh login --old
