Xen problems: SSH to new domain gives "PTY allocation request failed on channel 0" and "stdin is not a tty"

| | Comments (0)
If you've created a new domain using xen-tools you might run into the situation that the console works, but if you SSH in you get:

"PTY allocation request failed on channel 0" and "stdin is not a tty"

You need to install udev. Connect via console (xm console <domain id>) (you can get <domain id> with xm list) and simply run:

apt-get install udev

And restart / stop+start. Problem solved!

PS: Don't forget to apt-get install build-essentials
