Hello,
I have a PIII
system with RedHat Linux 7.1 (kernel 2.4) installed. Till now i had no problems
whatsoever with Linux. I always login as root.My graphics display on Linux has
been working fine and I've worked in almost all the desktop
environments(GNOME,KDE,Enlightenment).Yesterday on entering KDE i found that the
icons floppy,cdrom and Trash were displayed on the top lefthand corner of the
screen. They had been there everytime but yesterday i decided to get rid of
them. I right clicked on the Desktop and selected Configure Desktop and then
changed the Desktop path to /root/empty (an empty directory). Everything went
fine until the next time i entered KDE the icons were there again. Just for fun
i changed the Desktop path to /root and found that everything under /root got
displayed on the screen. Again simply i changed the path to /tmp with the same
results. But then i couldnt find the directories under /root. Its then that i
understood that changing the path automatically moves the contents of the old
path to the new path.So i moved everything under /tmp back to /root. The next
time i rebooted and ran startx but an error message appeared saying that there
was no directory as /tmp. I couldnt believe it. Anyway i created /tmp an ran
startx again. This time the screen just when blank. So i ran Xconfigurator and
everything went fine and i got the graphics display. But again startx didnt
work. When i ran xinit this was the displayed message
Could not init font path element
unix/:7100,removing from list!
Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed' XIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0" after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining. When i shutdown Linux this message appears
Shutting down xfs [FAILED]
Plz help
bye
