Problem Serving Fonts After Upgrading X from slink to potato
Upgraded my Debian slink system to potato last night. This machine,
besides being used as a workstation, is set up as a server for PC-based
X Terminals. While I've fixed the problem with the PC serving fonts to
itself, I'm having trouble getting fonts to the X Terminals.
When starting X on the X Terminals, I receive the following snippet of
output:
__FontTransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
failed to set default font path 'tcp/xserver:7100,tcp/xserver:7101'
Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'
..
_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
giving up.
xinit: Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.
In the server's XF86Config file, the FontPath lines are as follow:
FontPath "unix/:7100" (xfs)
FontPath "unix/:7101" (xfstt)
this was changed from
FontPath "tcp/127.0.0.1:7100" (xfs)
FontPath "tcp/127.0.0.1:7101" (xfstt)
in order to work for the server.
In the X Terminal's XF86Config file, the FontPath lines are as follows:
FontPath "tcp/xserver:7100" (xfs)
FontPath "tcp/xserver:7101" (xfstt)
with all others are commented out.
Thanks,
