Title: X doesn't load in Quantal, downgrading libxfont1 to Precise version fixes it : could not open default font 'fixed' Status in libxfont package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: As was first pointed out in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1965997&page=11 X won't start any more in Quantal. A workaround is to install libxfont1 1:1.4.4-1 from Precise instead of the 1:1.4.5-1 currently in Quantal. I reproduced this bug myself just by logging out after upgrading. Virtual terminals wouldn't work for me either.
