The fonts.dir and fonts.alias files in their respective directories in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/* look undamaged. I assume the below "unscaled" is an argument" as it is not a file.On Thu, 22 Jul 2004 17:38:46 -0700, Austin wrote:
When I boot RH 9, Linux 2.4.20-8 the x server will not start, and the monitor cycles on and off. There is a "Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed'"
I can get to XF86Config but I've mucked around with the font paths here before with no luck. Does any anyone know how to fix this problem without reinstalling Linux?
Not enough information to decide on what has been damaged. Is the font server (xfs) running? service xfs status If not, enable it and start it before you try to start X again. (chkconfig xfs on ; service xfs start)
Yes it is. ps -ef | grep xfs xfs 3661 1 0 10:12 ? 00:00:00 [xfs]
There is no /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 backup. It was working fine yesterday, and when i booted this morning x would not come up. I might have make some resolution changes yesterday before shutting down. " rpm -qa --last | tac | tail" shows nothing.
More details needed. What XFree86 packages are installed?
$ rpm -qa 'XFree86*'
Verify all of them:
$ rpm -qa 'XFree86*' | xargs rpm -V
Post your /etc/X11/fs config file, too.
Then still the fonts.dir and fonts.alias files might be damaged.
The /var/log/XFree86.0.log is huge so I won't post it unless it's helpful... however I neglected to post the "Could not init font path element unix/:7100, removing form list! message.
