RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
Missing Requires: libXfont
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
tigervnc-server-1.1.0-5.el6_4.1.x86_64
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. clean install, minimal Desktop
2. install/configure tigervnc-server
3. attempt to start tigervnc-server service
Actual results:
[dix] Could not init font path element /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc, removing from list!
[dix] Could not init font path element /usr/share/X11/fonts/100dpi, removing from list!
[dix] Could not init font path element /usr/share/X11/fonts/Type1, removing from list!
[dix] Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1, removing from list!
[dix] Could not init font path element built-ins, removing from list!
Expected results:
normal startup
Additional info:
workaround:
yum install libXfont
tigervnc-server requires "libXfont.so.1()(64bit)", which is provided by the libXfont package.
If you now try "yum remove libXfont", does it say it will need to remove tigervnc-server as well?
This is working for me as of now (both on install and remove) on EL6.7:
Installing:
tigervnc-server x86_64 1.1.0-16.el6.centos base 1.0 M
Installing for dependencies:
libXfont x86_64 1.4.5-5.el6_7 updates 137 k
xorg-x11-font-utils x86_64 1:7.2-11.el6 base 75 k
xorg-x11-fonts-misc noarch 7.2-11.el6 base 5.8 M
