Re: [XFree86] startx error
Also remember that if a graphical login manager (like xdm, kdm, gdm, wdm and the like) is being used, the xserver *is* running and you need to kill that display manager if you want to start X from the command line. Panther On Tuesday 09 December 2003 09:52 am, Keith Tang stepped up to the podium, took a deep breath and intoned: It's a file created when x windows is started. It gives that error message if you type startx in a terminal while xwindows is running. The file can also be left in the /tmp directory if xwindows crashes. If xwindows is not really running and that error is displayed just delete the file. rm -f /tmp/.X0-lock You may have to be root to delete it. Then try the startx again. ktang - Original Message - From: Chikonga Maimbo [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 09, 2003 8:51 AM Subject: [XFree86] startx error Hie I am a newbie to linux redhat.

Re: [XFree86] strange fonts after updating to 4.3.0
Heya. If no one here knows anything about this, does anyone know where else I might find some information? Is there a mailing list for xft or otherwise dealing with fonts in X? I've found no readme, faq or archived message with relative information anywhere. Panther On Wednesday 03 December 2003 02:01 pm, Panther Wyvern stepped up to the podium, took a deep breath and intoned: Hi. I recently updated to Xfree 4.3.0. Everything has gone smoothly but for a strange font problem I've not found mention of anywhere. Truetype fonts seem to be the problem. They all replace capital letters with odd characters. For instance, Google's web site uses font family: Arial. When I load that page, all the lower case letters are in uppercase and the capital letters are changed so that Google becomes 'OOGLE, Search becomes 3EARCH, Directory becomes $IRECTORY, News becomes .EWS and the like. There's also an awful lot of spaces between some of the words. I've found the same to be true in all KDE applications that can change fonts, Mozilla, Opera and Open Office.org. Testing in a word processor shows the problem happens with Time New Roman, Arial, Bookman L Ee (though not Bookman L), Century Schoolbook and Chancery L Ee (though not Chancery L), among others. The test further shows that when using the fonts that have the problem, typing a to z in lower case shows all uppercase and typing A to Z in uppercase shows: !#$%'()*+,-./0123456789: As I pointed out previously, in some similar fonts (like Chancery L Ee and Chancery L), it happens with one and not the other. I'm not sure what further information to give at this point that would be relevant to my issue. I might add, maybe, that I'm using Linux on x86 architecture. I hope someone can help me with this.

Re: [XFree86] XKeeps Crashing!,
On Thursday 04 December 2003 08:59 pm, Shantanu Gupta stepped up to the podium, took a deep breath and intoned: Sir, In the past one week, I had to install RH9 third consecutive time today because some failure in X server. I am attaching the log file, please reply back with possible cause of the problem. Thanking You, I remain Yours Sincerely, Shantanu Your problem seems to be that it's not finding a font, as suggested at the end of the log, repeated here: Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed' I don't know why this is beyond the fonts not being installed and haven't heard of similar instances. If the fonts are not installed, a good question might be how are you installing your distribution? If it's by the retail CDs, then it sounds like RH9's installation is messing up, which seems strange. If you can get RH9 installed and running without X, you might want to see if you can find the rpm containing the necessary fonts and install it from the command line.
