bvc Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 (edited) Well, debian/ubuntu developers have repeated history. They have managed to break, and upload, a borked xorg and font system. Why do tey do everything else so well and are clueless with X? Upon upgrading half of X is missing and there seems to be some mix of the past and future. Links aren't updated, files aren't reconfigured. It's a disaster. I've managed to fix, I think, everything but one. The default font fixed isn't found. I've verified locations and edited the paths but somethng isn't right. Since I am dialup, I've spent a few days getting cairo cvs and e17 cvs ...and their deps requires stuff from breezy. Since I am dialup, I'd hate to start over again and would love to fix this. Since the ubuntu forums are down and I can't search there, I was hoping someone here would have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf from breezy they could post. Thx!

bvc Posted August 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 see what I mean...xutils wasn't installed after I installed it I did apt-get install --reinstall xfonts-base it was reconfigured, w/o errors this time, and I'm in X.

pmpatrick Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 I think debian sid is really messed up right now. I saw a lot of complaints on the kanotix board over borked X after an upgrade. The recommendation was to wait until the mess is cleared up before even trying an upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
