Bug#484504: vnc4server: could not open default font fixed

2008-06-04 Thread Georg Hoermann
Package: vnc4server
Version: 4.1.1+X4.3.0-26
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


The system does not start up, this bug exists for months now and I
did *not* find a solution. I am no X guru, my other machine has
exactly the same problem. I did not change x configuration etc.,
XWindows on the PC is o.k., I just cannot use vncserver. This
also concerns other vnc packages (vnc4server)

Bug#484504: vnc4server: could not open default font fixed

2008-06-04 Thread Ola Lundqvist
severity 484504 important
thanks

Hi Georg

I'm lowering the severity because I know that it works for many users.
It works perfectly for me for example. It must be something related
to the configuration.

A couple of things for you to check:
* Have you any font server in the X configuration file? If so remove it please.
* The list of font paths seems a bit short, can you send me the config
  file for X so I can take a look at it.

Best regards,

// Ola
