Package: installation-reports
Version: N/A; reported 2003-06-11
Severity: important
When upgrading from potato (Debian v2.2r0) to woody (Debian 3.0r1) and
exactly following the instructions on this page:
http://www.debian.org/releases/woody/i386/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html
... then X will not work after the upgrade. The relevant line in the
transcript is this:
Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'
I suggest that these instructions:
> If you were upgrading from Debian version 2.0 or earlier, and have the
> X Window System installed, give the following commands:
>
> apt-get remove xbase
> apt-get install xfonts-base xfonts-75dpi xfonts-100dpi xfonts-scalable
be changed to read: "If you were upgrading from Debian version 2.2 or
earlier"
Following the instructions during an upgrade from potato fixes the
problem, and X starts working again.
