Hi, Installed kdebase and x-window-system-core packages. However, "startx" results in the "could not open default font 'fixed';" error. According to the http://wiki.x.org/wiki/FAQErrorMessages#head-a570197d15005a2c71cbb5e565114e2c04a573a3 it may be because "There is also a possibility that the [fontpath]/misc/fonts.alias file is missing."
On my system, I do not have "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.alias" file. In fact, it appears that there's no "fonts.alias" file installed anywhere: # dpkg -S fonts.alias dpkg: *fonts.alias* not found. Any ideas? Thanks ------------------------------------------------------------------ # cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log ...

Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed'; the X server's font paths might be misconfigured, remote font server(s) may be unreachable, and/or local fonts may not be installed or are not configured correctly. People inexperienced with the X Window System should have either the "x-window-system" or "x-window-system-core" packages installed. # apt-get install x-window-system-core # apt-get install x-window-system Other useful commands to run include: $ dpkg --status xserver-common $ dpkg --status xfonts-base $ zmore /usr/share/doc/x11-common/FAQ.gz _______________________________________________ No banners.
