I am unable to start X , when i run startx it gives following error :
Could not init font path element unix/:7100, removing from list!
Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'
-
Its not able find fonts or unable to connect to xfs server.
You can try following..
1. See if xfs server is running, restart if its dead
do service xfs restart
then do startx
if did not work then
OR
2. See permissin of /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.alias and make it sufficient enough to be accessible (use chmod)
If that too not works
OR
then
3. Edit xorg.conf and there FontPath "unix:7100"
to
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts"
And let us know.
