If X cannot come up and is broken:
If X is broken and the connection fails, most of the time it has this error messages:
_ FontTransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
failed to set dafault font path 'unix:-1'
Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed' |
This is likely due to xfs not finding the correct port for the Font Server. To resolve this, check steps 1 and 7 above. Make sure all the ports are pointing to (port) 7100 and make sure you have the following fonts installed (if not re-install the XFree86 font packages):
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/CID"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi" |
Use the command startx (on local) to restart the X server (or use telinit 5).
If Exceed has no respond:
In this case, most likely your xdm (or gdm, depending upon which is used in /etc/inittab) is not starting correctly. Issue the command: ps -ef | grep gdm (or ps -ef | grep xdm if xdm is used).
If the process is not running, check step 8 on the setup above (make sure there are no typo's and that the correct path is given). Restart X using the command telinit 5.
