Re: Yum upgrade damage 3 of my systems yesterday

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



And remember my problem:

# startx

could not init .... unix/:7000
....
FATAL: Not found font 'fixed'

This error is because XFS is not listening. The problem target is XFS.
Now, XFS say this:

# service xfs start
Starting XFS .... OK

# service xfs status
xfs was died, but pid file found

# xfs
Many of errors indicating:
Ignoring font path element tararara (path of the fonts) (bad
descriptor font path)
FATAL: Element #0 bad font path ....

I can't restore my systems !!! help !!!

Yesterday i probed with:

1. Reinstall NVIDIA driver (from vendor and last version that work
perfectly) - Result: Nothing.

2. Rebuild RPM database - Result: Nothing

3. Uninstall packages related to xfs, and ALL fonts of the system.
Then, i install them again. - Result: Nothing

4. Search in Google for: (bad font path descriptor) error from XFS:
Incredible but google not have info about this !!!!

that 3 of my systems damage with the same update !!!!
