newbie: Problems with startx on debian (woody)

Post by M. Weis » Sat, 15 Jun 2002 02:58:29



Hi all,

I'm new to debian and got a tiny problem, launching X on a debian-server. I
installed the needed packages (no problem occurred), configured the X by
xf86config (which created XF86Config) and startet to run startx. I went into
trouble and fixed some small ones (xfonts-pex needed to be installed, unix/:7001
could not be found, so I removed it from the list in XF86Config-4), and now
startx does not mention any further error. It shows up some warnings, but no
error... but... it ends up with "waiting for X server to shut down".

I really don't know what else to do, so I hope for any hint...

Find the Log from startx below.

Thanks and regards.

I think your Debian is missing some needed packages (fonts for example).
Try to add these with apt-get, so for example on my box these packages
are installed:


rc  xf86setup       3.3.6-11potato X server configuration tools
ii  xfig            3.2.3.d-rel-6  Facility for Interactive Generation
ii  xfonts-100dpi   4.1.0-17       100 dpi fonts for X
ii  xfonts-75dpi    4.1.0-17       75 dpi fonts for X
ii  xfonts-base     4.1.0-17       standard fonts for X
ii  xfonts-pex      4.1.0-17       fonts for minimal PEX support in X
ii  xfonts-scalable 4.1.0-17       scalable fonts for X
ii  xfree86-common  4.1.0-17       X Window System (XFree86)
ii  xfs             4.1.0-17       X font server
ii  xserver-xfree86 4.1.0-17       the XFree86 X server

So an "apt-get install xfonts-pex" would install this package on your
system for example. Also, try to use "XFree86 -configure" instead of
"xf86config" as this will try to find your graphic adapter, mouse,
monitor etc. automatically.
