X won't start!!!!!!
I tried to start x by typing startx after I logged in and I got these error messages:
Could not init font path element unix/:7100, removing form list! Fata Server Error: Could not open default font 'fixed' and XIO: fatal IO error 104 (connection reset by peer) on X server ":0:0" After 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining I was playing around with WINE and I installed Bochs, but it didn't work. Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!!! -Seriv |
make sure the xfs X font server is running
|
how do I do that?
|
Type in
ps ax | grep xfs |
I get the same errors.
|
When I type in that command I get the output:
1396 ? S 0:08 xfs -droppriv -daemon Check if you get something a like. If you don't, then you don't have the xfs font server running. /alm |
sorry, i saw the startx error above it:
2583 ? S 0:00 [xfs] 3626 tty1 s 0:00 grep xfs |
So the xfs should be in order.
Try running this: "chkfontpath" and post its output |
current directores in font path:
1: /usr/x11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled 2: /usr/x11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled 3: /usr/x11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled 4: /usr/x11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc 5: /usr/x11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 6: /usr/x11R6/lib/X11/fonts/speedo 7: /usr/x11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic 8: /usr/x11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF 9: /usr/x11R6/lib/X11/fonts/OTF 10: /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1 11: 12: /usr/lib/openoffice/share/fonts/truetype 13: /usr/share/fonts/ISO8859-2/misc:unscaled 14: /usr/share/fonts/ISO8859-2/75dpi:unscaled 15: /usr/share/fonts/ISO8859-2/100dpi:unscaled 16: /usr/share/fonts/ISO8859-2/misc 17: /usr/share/fonts/ISO8859-2/75dpi 18: /usr/share/fonts/ISO8859-2/100dpi 19: /usr/share/fonts/ja/misc:unscaled 20: /usr/share/fonts/ja/misc 21: /usr/share/fonts/KOI8-R/misc:unscaled 22: /usr/share/fonts/KOI8-R/75dpi:unscaled 23: /usr/share/fonts/KOI8-R/100dpi:unscaled 24: /usr/share/fonts/KOI8-R/misc 25: /usr/share/fonts/KOI8-R/75dpi 26: /usr/share/fonts/KOI8-R/100dpi Hope this helps, I had to copy it out by hand! -Seriv |
That is the similar to the output I get too. Maybe it is irrelevant (sorry) anyways....
Type "service xfs status" and see if you get the output xfs (pid: <pid>) running... |
If you just want X up and don't care too much about the truetypes it should be possible to rem the following line in the X86config file.
# FontPath "unix/:7100" You can find it in etc/X11 Here is a list of common tools for configuring X: Redhat 7.3 down - the setup utility leads to several config tools Redhat 7.3 up - redhat-config-xfree86 You might have one or more of these tools/files on your system: XF86SetupTricks and hints XFree86 -configure Xconfigurator xf86cfg xf86config xconf The redhat-config-xfree86 might just be what you need to run in order to get things back to normal... |
it says xfs (pid 2583) is running.....
and redhat-config-xfree86 crashes!!!!!!!! |
thanx, removing unix:7100 worked
|
Now try the config tools :) might put things back the way they ought to be!
|
Thanx, I will, and Thank you so much to all that helped me!!!!!!
