Arora:
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'
Ricky:
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
--- Code: ---service xfs restart
--- End code ---
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.
