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