This has happened to me as well
X server wont start says:
could not init font path element , removing from list!
fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'
This has happened to me as well
I don't know for what reason exactly, but I have found that if you edit the unix/:7100 to unix/:-1 it works. This might be because the X font server xfs is not listening properly at unix port 7100.
Well it's worth a try. Copy your current /etc/X11/XF86Config to a *.old and edit the file XF86Config, do a startx and see if it works.
BR,
there is more but this is exacly what happended before to me and i had to reinstall, i really dont want to have to do that again! why is it doing this, i did nothing weird at all, i just moved a file from linux partition to windows via linux, then went into windows and then deleted it, then rebooted to linux and this happened (i have fat32 drive)
this happened before after i had tried to install something, and nver even had the windows drive setup for mounting so it cant be that, it also happened after about the same duration of time!
PLEASE HELP ME I AM A NEWBIE AND THIS IS NOT FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thanks
andy
