Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xorg
After switching apt/sources.list from dapper to edgy today and doing an
update and dist-upgrade, I rebooted and X failed to start. First thing I
found was that xfs was not installed (is this necessary any more?). the
real problem seems to be /usr/share/X11/fonts directory had the right
structure to hold fonts, including the metadata files, but no fonts.
Xorg looks in this directory, then dies says "cant find default font
fixed".
I symlinked /usr/share/fonts/X11 to /usr/share/X11/fonts and Xorg starts
up now. startx though still reports Xorg has a startup problem.
my system still doesnt start X on bootup but at least I can run "sudo
Xorg & sleep 3; gnome-session" to get things going by hand.
** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu)
