Are you able to run xterm, rxvt or gnome-terminal?  Unfortunately the PTY error message is shown by Konsole for a variety of unrelated problems as well.

But if it is a PTY error, that can be debugged using the strace tool, which can be installed using "apt-get install strace" under debian.

If you are able to run xterm, then start it using Alt+F2 and run these commands from there:

strace -e trace=stat64 konsole 2> log
cat log | grep pts
