Package: installation-reports Version: N/A; reported 2003-06-11 Severity: important
When upgrading from potato (Debian v2.2r0) to woody (Debian 3.0r1) and exactly following the instructions on this page:
http://www.debian.org/releases/woody/i386/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html
... then X will not work after the upgrade. The relevant line in the transcript is this:
Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed'
I suggest that these instructions:
> If you were upgrading from Debian version 2.0 or earlier, and have the > X Window System installed, give the following commands: > > apt-get remove xbase > apt-get install xfonts-base xfonts-75dpi xfonts-100dpi xfonts-scalable
be changed to read: "If you were upgrading from Debian version 2.2 or earlier"
Following the instructions during an upgrade from potato fixes the problem, and X starts working again.
