Re: ..could not open default font "fixed" ..

 

Hej Poul-Erik
Tak for dit bidrag. Der er mange forskellige meninger om den sag. På nettet har jeg bl.a fundet

---
That error message is misleading.  It means that one of the sources for the 
fonts messed up while it was loading (in this case, it's the font server).  Fix 
the font server, and the message will go away.
---
I actually figured out this probablem and thought i'd pass on the fix....
The problem was that the server was using the wrong configuration file.  It
happened to be a backup file i had made.  The line:
(==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/XF86Config-4"
tipped me off.
I moved my backup config files out of the /etc/X11 dir, and everything
started working!  I have no idea why the server would use a different file
if the real one actually exists, but that was it!
---
The problem might lie with the font server, check to see if it's up and running
before the startx.
$ ps ax | grep xfs
I have a vague memory that this happened to me at some point, but I can't
recall with what distribution or if it was something I had done.
---
Ended up reinstalling the xfs rpm from 3.6 which worked fine.  Never did
figure out what was wrong with the 4.0 xfs.

Ca signifie qu'il ne peut pas trouver la police par défaut, nommée 'fixed' ;-)))
Va faire un tour sur http://www.lea-linux.org/ et cherche la section relative
aux problèmes de fontes sous X, il y a la solution (il suffit de rajouter une
ligne de texte au fichier XF86config, je crois...).

På lea-linux stod
Configuration de X pour utiliser le serveur de fontes : 
Il suffit de modifier le fichier /etc/X11/XF86Config, et d'ajouter une ligne FontPath dans la section Files. 
Par exemple : 
Section "Files"  
RgbPath    "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"
FontPath   "unix/:-1"
EndSection
-hvor 2. sidste linie foresloges tilføjet.

Men... der er altså ikke noget af det der virker på min maskine...!

Til gengæld så jeg nu at der er meget lidt plads på hda1 hvilket jeg har på fornemmelsen ikke er sundt. Kender du en kommando som viser direktorier på en partition? Det hele bliver jo mountet under /, så hvordan finder man ud af hvad der ligger på hda1..?

Mange hilsner
Knud
