Re: Partially successful installation/startup

"Norm" <ndrez@xxxxxxx> · Wed, 9 Mar 2005 13:09:06 -0500

RESENDING BECAUSE I GOT A MESSAGE THAT THE POSTING HAD BEEN DELETED BECAUSE
OF AN ATTACHMENT.

Sorry for the delay but I don't get on the 737 very often any more.

Anyway, while I was watching it boot today, I noticed that during the boot
process it said that the startup of the Font Server failed.  That's probably
why we can't execute 'init 5' to start X Window.  Since we can execute the
'startx' script, everything we need is obviously there, but, I'd guess, not
in the right places.  What do I need to do to get the Font Server to start
up during bootup?

    Thanks
        Norm
