Synopsis: This article will help Ezeelogin Gateway users fix the error encountered while logging into OpenVZ containers using vzctl, which displays the message "Unable to get term attr: Invalid argument".
Example: When the gateway user 'alex' attempts to access OpenVZ container through Ezeelogin and encounters the error "Unable to get term attr: Invalid argument" then the admin user need to login to the Ezeelogin GUI and disable virtual shell option for that user. After this modification, 'alex' can log back into the container without encountering the error message again.

Emergency CLI Method:
