Bug#202250: x-window-system:
Package: x-window-system
Version: 4.1.0-16
Severity: critical
My XF86Config-4 begins with the standard section
Section "Files"
FontPath "unix/:7100" # local font server
# if the local font server has problems, we can fall back on these
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi"
EndSection
After a few minutes of playing with xfontsel, my X hanged up.
Keyboard and mouse didn't react on my action.
M-C-fX and M-C-Backspace didn't work too.
But it seems my computer was still alive because I was able connect to it
from a remote host. I did it and a top of top looked like this
24622 root 20 -10 326M 24M 10392 R < 99.2 2.4 38:22 XFree86
^^^^
After I killed this process, my work station became absolutely unusable
and I rebooted it.
I'm not sure but it seems to me this happened because of broken X Font Server.
