Summary: font-alias shenanigans
Description:
XOrg7 doesn't start - could not open default font 'fixed'
It does seem to work if I have the XOrg-fonts-base module installed, from
XOrg (6.9.0); however I'm continually reminded that this module conflicts
with all of XOrg7.

you have font-misc-misc installed?
if not... you didn't install the XOrg7 profile (or you adjusted yourself)
if you do i want feedback :)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
El_Angelo - 05-22-07 11:23
----------------------------------------------------------------------
and did you remove your old xorg.conf file? you need to create a new
vanilla one...
and before you test this... remove that Xorg-font thingy...
cheers,S.

yeah i have font-misc-misc X11R7.0-1.0.0 installed
so remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf and have it create a new one?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
El_Angelo - 05-22-07 11:34
----------------------------------------------------------------------
that is correct
remove XOrg-fonts-base, lin font-misc-misc, remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf (or
back it up) and create a new one...
and plz next time choose a sensible bug report title :)
gr,S.

lin font-misc-misc didn't quite work:
/usr/bin/ucs2any: Can't read mapping file
'/usr/share/fonts/util/map-ISO8859-1': No such file or directory!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
El_Angelo - 05-22-07 11:56
----------------------------------------------------------------------
of course.... you had that conflicting package installed...
after lrm Xorg-fonts-base you should run lunar fix :)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
albinoloverats - 05-22-07 12:59
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I still get the same error message - I'll add the output from the install
if that will help.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
El_Angelo - 05-22-07 13:09
----------------------------------------------------------------------
can you paste me the output of lsh run_checks font-util ?
and yes plz paste the output of the failing compilation on
http://devnull.lunar-linux.org/p
(do paste the complete make process not just the part that fails
----------------------------------------------------------------------
albinoloverats - 05-22-07 13:17
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I've added the build process output to http://devnull.lunar-linux.org/p
And there was no output from lsh run_checks font-util :( unless it went
some place other than stdout
----------------------------------------------------------------------
El_Angelo - 05-22-07 13:19
----------------------------------------------------------------------
do you have font-util installed? if so please relin it (lin -c font-util)
... Are you sure you did run lunar fix ????
----------------------------------------------------------------------
albinoloverats - 05-22-07 13:27
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes I ran lunar fix, it didn't output anything so I guess that nothing
needed fixing - however, having just run lin -c font-util and then lin -c
font-misc-misc it all seems to have installed okay :)
I'll now remove xorg.conf and (I presume) regenerate it with xorgconfig
----------------------------------------------------------------------
El_Angelo - 05-22-07 14:53
----------------------------------------------------------------------
can i consider this as fixed now?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
albinoloverats - 05-22-07 15:07
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, everything starts okay now :) Thanks for the help.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
El_Angelo - 05-22-07 15:21

There is nothing to be fixed.
Just make sure that:
1. Do not install conflicting modules (Xorg-fonts-base)
2. Make sure all modules (dependencies) of XOrg7 are working and installed
(font-utils and font-misc-misc in particular)
3. DO NOT USE THE OLD xorg.conf (the paths to the fonts in that one are
still /usr/X11R6 which is a deprecated file location and no longer used
for XOrg7.x
cheers,
Samuel
