Guest Violator Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 Thanks to all of you for the great help and especially to bvc :) ! I managed to start X finally. I reinstalled it, as bvc suggested and it placed the misc folder back on its place. I had to start mkfontdir after that but it finally works! However, now I have a very weird problem. The "Sans" font (and some others, too) is not displayed the same way in when I log in as "root" and as a regular user.. I mostly prefer to log in as a regular user and the Sans font looks very bad when I am not logged as root. This affects not only KDE but the gtk apps, too... I suppose there are some broken files in my /home/regular_user directory but I don't know which are those... Does anyone have an idea?

devries Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 Good to hear (almost) everything works again... :D In your $HOME you find a .fonts (hidden) folder, a .fonts.conf (with the location of the fonts) and a .fonts.cache-1 (which you can delete). If I remember correctly when people had problems with 'Sans' they changed to 'Luxi sans' (use the kde control center for that). (BVC :D ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 sweet! welll, almost, but I would look into devries suggestion for the Sans prob. Other than that, you could either remove it with drakfont (I doubt you want to touch that) or manually delete it>service xfs restart>manually put it back>service xfs restart.

Guest Violator Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 I tried a few things but nothing good happened and I went and deleted the whole user account and created a new one. I lost the settings but hey, now EVERYTHING WORKS FINE!! Thanks again to all for your help!! :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
