Xvfb Error- "Could not init font path element catalogue:/etc/X11/fontpath.d"
 
I am trying to start X virtual framebuffer (xvfb) on one of my dedicated server which is not having a X server.

I installed Xvfb on the server, and when I am running the below command I am getting the errors.

[root@fedora ~]# Xvfb :1 -screen 0 640x480x24 -nolisten tcp -audit 4 -auth X1.cfg & export DISPLAY=:1 &

[1] 32729
[2] 32730
[root@fedora ~]# error opening security policy file /usr/lib/xserver/SecurityPolicy
Could not init font path element catalogue:/etc/X11/fontpath.d, removing from list!

Can anybody know how to fix this? My OS is Fedora 7.

Solution for Oracle 6.3 for "Could not init font path element catalogue:/etc/X11/fontpath.d"
 
I have Oracle 6.3 and found that Xvfb refused to recognize the fontpath.d directory

"Could not init font path element catalogue:/etc/X11/fontpath.d"

I verified X was working by sending xclock to my display, so it was Xvfb centric problem.

I took advice and did the following: from - http://singcheong.blogspot.com/2013/...ith-fixes.html

sudo yum -y install libXfont


This got rid of the error and Xvfb is now running!!!

This worked also form me!!
In my case, the Xvfb worked properly for a while, then, after a reboot, it refused to start.
Fixed by this update.

Thanks
