    vncserver startup fails on "default font 'fixed'"

    Any ideas what to do about this?

    reinstalling vnc

    BTW, uninstalling and reinstalling vnc doesn't help.

    Edieren von /etc/vnc.conf hilft

    als root /etc/vnc.conf edieren:
    Zeile mit "# Example $fontPath = "";" suchen
    Zeilenwechsel nach Example: einfuegen, dass also die Zeile $fontPath = ""; entsteht.
    Kommentar von alle folgenden Zeilen bis zu "...freefont.." (sind 8 oder so) entfernen

    Voila!

    Oh sorry, Now in english:

    login as root
    Edit /etc/vnc.conf.
    Search for # Example $fontPath = "";
    Insert newline behind "Example:", this makes a new line: $fontPath = ""; Remove comment at all lines until "...freefont.." (these are ca.

    Voila!
    Best regards

    Font fixed... libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 problem

    Thanks for the font fix. Now I get this error:

    Xvnc: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2: cannot ope
    n shared object file: No such file or directory

    I also receive the same error when running the Netscape and Mozilla installers.

    Tips for solving lib problems

    On my system the correct libs are installed, but witches and wizards are everywhere...

    If you don't want to reinstall, try this:
    Code:
    cd /usr/lib 
    ls libstdc*so*
    Remember the name of the listed file e.g. libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3
    If no file is listed, you must reinstall, because important files are missing.
    Code:
    ln -s libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2
    This is a solution if the used subroutines have not changed from version 6.1.1 to 6.2.2.

    Good luck!
