On a perfectly well running installation (Mdk 8.2), all of a sudden the X server - installed as the "-4" version - does not want to start up any more, quits with "font 'fixed' not found". Bizarre. The attempt to re-install the basic XFree86-fontfile packages (for shure they _had_ been installed, and the machine _was_ running with this X the day before, but a rpm-check said "package[s] not installed": bizarre too) results in a lot of errro-messages, all claiming "not enopugh space on device". Puzzled control gives indeed, the 2 (!) GB root-"/" partition being "100 % used" - ultimate bezarrerie, as quite lately before, it was checked (precisely in view of an eventual, and quite bulky addition of Java) and found filled up to 73 % only; but nothing, _absolutely_ nothing had been changed, re- or newly installed since.
AND X had run perfectly as usual at the last boot before. ?!? (And note that the machine boots up well into command line mode as usual; all filesystemchecks therewith indicate "clean", etc.) :((( // Heimo Claasen //<revobild at revobild dot net>// Brussels 2002-11-02 The WebPlace of ReRead - and much to read ==> http://www.revobild.net - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
