Comment 13 for bug 523148

OK, I'll try to straighten this out.

- This bug was opened against Karmic, reporting an issue where attaching to the console would give 'Permission denied' (see the subject of the bug).
- Jules D and myself tried to use the console in Lucid and ran into an issue with error "unable to open tty /dev/pts/3 : No such file or directory". bug 542324 was opened to address *that* issue in lucid, which was not present in karmic. bug 542324 was fixed using the git commit that Chuck pointed at in this bug, backported to 0.7.5.
- The debian bug (567818) above should not be attached to this bug. However, there is apparently no way to un-attach a linked bug.
- The "Permission denied" error that is the subject of this bug is not fixed in 0.7.7 that I know of. The RedHat/Fedora generally discusses that this is not a trivial thing to fix, and rather a feature that needs to be added.
