After upgrading from FC5 to FC6, I couldn't get X-Windows to run. A
look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log shows at the end:
Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'
Usually, this means the xfs server has failed. A look at the processes shows:
xfs -droppriv -daemon
I then tried to restart the server (/etc/init.d/xfs restart), and got
this response (in dmesg):
audit(1167838535.903:182): avc: denied { read } for pid=2850
comm="xfs" name="fonts.dir" dev=hda5 ino=3193250
scontext=root:system_r:xfs_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:usr_t:s0
tclass=file
I'm still too new at SELinux to know the fix for this. Any help is appreciated.
And could someone tell me if this was a failure of the upgrade, and if
so, should I report this?
Thanks!
Kirk
