Howha,
Using Mandrake 7.1 Standard-Installation with updates.
Problem:
After a little crash while compiling a new kernel I restarted my box.
When I type "startx" at the prompt it says:
---snipp---
...
_FontTransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
failed to set default font path 'unix/:-1
Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'
...
---/snipp---
OK, I figured out, that the problem is the xfs (Font-Server)
so I go to /etc/rc.d/init.d and type
"./xfs start"
It says OK, but "./xfs status" says:
---snipp---
xfs dead but subsys locked
---snipp---
In /var/lock/subsys is the xfs-lock-file.
I looked at /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs
and figured out how to start xfs directly with:
"xfs -port -1"
it says then:
---snipp---
_FontTransSocketINETCreateListener: Unable to get service for -1
_FontTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to create listener for tcp
FontCacheInitialize: hi=1048576, lo=786432, bal=70
---snipp---
Then xfs starts (why?)
netstat -a says then:
---snipp---
...
unix 0 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTEN 1230 /tmp/.font-unix/fs-1
...
---snipp---
2
After that I can start with "startx".
I put "xfs -port -1 &" in /etc/rc.d/rc.local now and it works,
but I feel I will get problems, when no Sockets could be opened.
Someone any hint?
Cheerio,
Eric
