Greetings -
I'm trying to get vncserver running properly on my new server which is
currently running Fedora Core 5 (hereafter, FC5). It came with vncserver
4.1.1, which I have running as a as a service.
The problem is, when I connect to the remote desktop, all seems fine,
but when I try to run various applications, I get a number of 'fonts
missing' errors. So, I had a look at the .log file in .vnc, and that
provides a clue - here is the log generated after restarting the
vncserver, using the following arguments with the standard
./vnc/xstartup script:
VNCSERVERARGS[1]="-geometry 1152x864 -nohttpd"
Fri Jul 28 16:43:00 2006
vncext: VNC extension running!
vncext: Listening for VNC connections on port 5902
vncext: created VNC server for screen 0
Could not init font path element /usr/share/X11/fonts/OTF, removing from
list!
Could not init font path element /usr/share/X11/fonts/CID/, removing
from list!
X Error of failed request: BadLength (poly request too large or
internal Xlib length error)
Major opcode of failed request: 134 (VNC-EXTENSION)
Minor opcode of failed request: 1 ()
Serial number of failed request: 65
Current serial number in output stream: 65
So, clearly, lots of problems. Moreover, when I look at xstartup, there
are a couple of lines I don't understand:
[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
OK - but I don't have an .Xresources file in my (or any other) user
directory.
So, I'll start by asking for some guidance/help on interpreting the
'Could not init font path...' errors in the .log file, and follow with a
general query on what I should do to make my xstartup file - especially
vis a vis .Xresources
Thanks in advance - apologies if this is a FAQ, but after much
searching, didn't find much that seem directly related.
