startx启动失败的几个解决方法

  很多Linux用户有如此一个惨痛经历。当你和平常一样登陆和输入这可爱的startx时,你只是接收到错误信息。 Many of us gnu/linux users have had sUCh a terrible eXPerience. When you 很多linux用户有如此一个惨痛经历。当你 login and type the sweet startx as usual, you only receive scrolling lines 和平常一样登陆和输入这可爱的startx时,你只是接收到 of error messages. One copy of the error message is usually stored in 错误信息。错误通常存储在 /var/log/XFree86.0.log. If you can Access the log file, you will notice /var/log/XFree86.0.log。如果你读取这个日志文件,你将会注意到 the last lines of the file may look like this: 文件的最后一行通常如这样: Could not init font path element unix/:7100, removing from list! Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed' I have to admit that I was in panic when I saw this message in the first 我不得不承认我感到恐慌当我最初几次看到这些信息。 several times. As an intermediate user of linux system, I was not so 作为一个中级的linux系统用户,我感到用命令控制台拨号和用lynx冲浪不 comfortable using text console for modem dialup and surfing with lynx. So 舒服冲浪。所以 I had to spend a lot of time on another box and use Google to search for 我不得不花费很多时间在另一台电脑的使用Google在网上搜索帮助。 help on web. It was amazing that so many people like me have this exact 另人感到意外的是如此多人像我一样拥有如此 terrible experience and those replies in web forums and mailing lists 恐怖的经历和那些网上论坛和邮件列表的答复 generally offer more sympathy than real help. Using our common sense and 一般提供更多的同情心而不是真正的帮助。用我们一般的理解和 some research, most of us can figure out this failure has something to do 研究,我们大部分可以判断这是X字体服务的失败。 with X font server. After having done a little more research, now I believe that this failure 做完进一步的研究之后,我现在相信这 may not be so serious as it looks. Please follow me by doing the steps 不像人们想象中的那么严重。请跟着我做下面的这些步骤, below, in most of the cases you will get your X windows starting up again. 在大部分的案例中你将可以重新进入X windows。 Note: The following examples run on my Red Hat box. But I believe they are 注意:这些例子在我的Red Hat系统上。但我相信他们

general enough to be used for other distributions. 通常足够应用在其它发行版上。 1. Check if the X font server is running. 1、检查X字体服务是否正在运行。 Some people like me tend to suspect it is caused by bugs in the X font 一些人像我一样趋向于怀疑这是由X字体服务的bugs引起的, server, but it turned out that X font server is quite robust. We can run 但它证明这X字体服务是良好的。我们可以运行 the xfs script under /etc/init.d to see if the font server is running. 这xfs格本文件夹在/etc/init.d去看是否字体服务正在运行。 [root@localhost /root]# /etc/init.d/xfs status xfs (pid 1385) is running... In some cases, the only reason for the failure is that the font server is 在一些案例,唯一失败的原因是字体服务停止 dead. So, you need to restart font server like this: 所以,你需要重新启动字体服务象这样: [root@localhost /root]# /etc/init.d/xfs start Starting xfs: [ OK ] Well, my learned lesson is don't take this '[OK]' for granted. You have to 好,我的学习课程不承认OK是真的。你必须 check the status again to see if it is running. If it does run, you can 再次检查状况去看看是否正在运行。如果它不运行,你可以尝试 try startx to see if you can start X windows. If you still cannot start X startx去看看是否可以开始X windows。当字体服务运行时,如果你仍然不可以运行X server when the font server runs, it means you are having more serious 服务,它意味着你拥有更严重的错误。 trouble. You need to waste a little more time reading on the following 你需要花费更多的一点时间阅读以下的步骤。 steps. Note: In a weird case, my root partition was fully filled by two huge log 注意:在一个古怪的案例,我的根目录是被两个大于2GB的信息文件所占据满的。 files occupying more than 2 GB. The font server dies when it cannot write 当它不可能写进/tmp字体服务停止。 to /tmp. So the simple solution was finding the huge files and deleting 因此一些例子的解决办法是寻找巨大文件的删除掉他们。 them. 2. Check if the font 'fixed' is accessible. 检查是否字体“fixed”可以理解的。 Now it is time to ensure that the font 'fixed' is accessible. First, we 现在是时侯确保字体“fixed”是受影响的。首先 can use command fslsfonts to see if font 'fixed' exists in the search 我们可以运行命令fslsfonts去看是否字体存在在所寻找的路径: path: [root@localhost alex]# fslsfonts -server unix/:7100 -ll -fn fixed DIR MIN MAX EXIST DFLT ASC DESC NAME --> 0 255 some 0 11 2 fixed FONTNAME_REGISTRY FOUNDRY Misc FAMILY_NAME Fixed WEIGHT_NAME Medium SLANT R SETWIDTH_NAME SemiCondensed ADD_STYLE_NAME PIXEL_SIZE 13 POINT_SIZE 120 RESOLUTION_X 75 RESOLUTION_Y 75 SPACING C AVERAGE_WIDTH 60 CHARSET_REGISTRY ISO8859 CHARSET_ENCODING 1 COPYRIGHT Public domain font.

Here, we can see that

当“fixed”是可用的,这是通常输出的情况,我们可以看到 'fixed' is actually an alias for the font “fixed”实际上是字体的别名。 '-Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-SemiCondensed--13-120-75-75-C-60-ISO8859-1'. If there is no font 'fixed', we first need to gain knowledge of the search 如果不是字体“fixed”,我们首先需要获得更多的信息在字体的所在路径。 path for fonts. We can use command chkfontpath to look at those paths: 我们可以运用命令chkfontpath去看那些路径: [root@localhost alex]# /usr/sbin/chkfontpath Current Directories in font path: 1: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled 2: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled 3: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled 4: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc 5: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 6: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo 7: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID 8: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi 9: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi 10: /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1 11: /usr/share/fonts/default/TrueType 12: /usr/share/fonts/ja/TrueType 13: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/latin2/100dpi:unscaled 14: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/latin2/100dpi 15: /usr/share/fonts/ISO8859-7/misc:unscaled 16: /usr/share/fonts/ISO8859-7/75dpi:unscaled 17: /usr/share/fonts/ISO8859-7/100dpi:unscaled 18: /usr/share/fonts/ISO8859-7/misc 19: /usr/share/fonts/ISO8859-7/Type1 20: /usr/share/fonts/ISO8859-7/75dpi 21: /usr/share/fonts/ISO8859-7/100dpi 22: /usr/share/fonts/ISO8859-9/misc:unscaled 23: /usr/share/fonts/ISO8859-9/100dpi:unscaled 24: /usr/share/fonts/ISO8859-9/misc 25: /usr/share/fonts/ISO8859-9/100dpi 26: /usr/share/fonts/KOI8-R/100dpi:unscaled 27: /usr/share/fonts/KOI8-R/100dpi 28: /usr/share/fonts/zh_CN/TrueType 29: /usr/share/fonts/zh_TW/TrueType 30: /usr/share/AbiSuite/fonts These are the font paths on my box. It shows that xfs looks into these 这些字体路径在我的电脑上。它显示当它被修复的时候xfs观察这些路径寻找一个特殊的字体。 paths seeking a specific font when it is required. There are two types of 有两种类型的重要文件: important files: fonts.dir in each of these paths, and fonts.alias in some fonts.dir在每一个路径中,和fonts.alias在一些路径中。 of the paths. For example, let's go to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi, 例如,让我们进入/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi, and open the files. The files look like this: 和打开文件。文件象这样: [fonts.dir] 775 UTI___14.pcf.gz -adobe-utopia-regular-i-normal--19-140-100-100-p-104-iso10646-1 UTBI__14.pcf.gz -adobe-utopia-bold-i-normal--19-140-100-100-p-109-iso10646-1 UTI___12.pcf.gz -adobe-utopia-regular-i-normal--17-120-100-100-p-89-iso10646-1 UTI___24.pcf.gz -adobe-utopia-regular-i-normal--33-240-100-100-p-179-iso10646-1

The first line specifies the number of fonts under current directory. 这第一行详细说明字体的数量在当前目录。 Following lines map file names to font names. 以下几行是字体文件的名字。 [fonts.alias] lucidasans-bolditalic-8 -b&h-lucida-bold-i-normal-sans-11-80-100-100-p-69-iso8859-1 lucidasans-bolditalic-10 -b&h-lucida-bold-i-normal-sans-14-100-100-100-p-90-iso8859-1 lucidasans-bolditalic-12 -b&h-lucida-bold-i-normal-sans-17-120-100-100-p-108-iso8859-1 lucidasans-bolditalic-14 -b&h-lucida-bold-i-normal-sans-20-140-100-100-p-127-iso8859-1 lucidasans-bolditalic-18 -b&h-lucida-bold-i-normal-sans-25-180-100-100-p-159-iso8859-1 lucidasans-bolditalic-24 -b&h-lucida-bold-i-normal-sans-34-240-100-100-p-215-iso8859-1 ... This file maps font alias to font names. So it is clear that once font 这个文件显示字体文件的别名与原名。因此清楚知道从前字体的“fixed”是需要的, 'fixed' is needed, the font server search fonts.alias in each font path 字体服务在比赛中寻找字体别名在每一字体路径中。 for a match. If the match exists, the corresponding font file is specified 如果比赛是存在,那相应的字体文件是指定在fonts.dir。 in fonts.dir. If no match exists, which is a rare situation, the X server 如果比赛不存在,那是非常罕见的情形,字体服务不可以运行我们需要重建字体列表。 cannot start and we need to rebuild the font lists. The rebuilding process 这重建的过程 will generate new fonts.dir and fonts.alias files. 将会产生新的fonts.dir和fonts.alias文件。 3. Rebuild font list. 重建字体列表。 Font list can be rebuilt using the script file xfs under /etc/init.d. 运用格本文件xfs在/etc/init.d下,字体列表可以被重建 Following is an excerpt of the script: 以下是格本文件的摘录: ... buildfontlist() { pushd . &> /dev/null for d in $(/usr/sbin/chkfontpath --list cut -f 2 -d ':') ;do if [ -d "$d" ]; then cd $d # Check if we need to rerun mkfontdir NEEDED=no if ! [ -e fonts.dir ]; then NEEDED=yes elif [ "$(find . -type f -cnewer fonts.dir 2>/dev/null)" != "" ];then NEEDED=yes fi if [ "$NEEDED" = "yes" ]; then ... } ... start() { if [ -L /usr/X11R6/bin/X ]; then echo -n $"Starting $prog: " [ -x /usr/sbin/chkfontpath ] && buildfontlist rm -fr /tmp/.font-unix daemon xfs -droppriv -daemon ret=$?

For readers not familiar with shell programming, this excerpt means that 因为读者不熟悉运行命令程序,这格本文件的意思是每次xfs格本在运行, each time xfs script is run, it will check whether there is a fonts.dir 它将会检查是否有fonts.dir在列表中的每一个字本路径中。 file in each listed font path.
