Description Mike Chambers 2002-02-11 02:17:59 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; Q312461)

Description of problem:
When starting xfs via services xfs start, get error message that fonts.dir is 
bad/missing.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Upgrade system from 7.2 with updates to 7.2.90
2.service xfs start
3.
	

Actual Results:  Get error message that fonts.dir bad/missing

Expected Results:  xfs should start error free

Additional info:

This is from a 7.2 install w/updates, no extra XFree86 packages.  Then updated 
to 7.2.90.

I commented out the two chmod lines for the fonts.dir and that stops it from 
looking.  I've attached my xfs script file.

Hmm. Odd.  Could you stop xfs, then uncomment those lines, and add a
line to the top of the xfs initscript right underr the umask line
that says:

set -vx

then start xfs back up with:

service xfs start &> xfsinit.log

Then attach the resultant log file for me to ponder.

Thanks Mike.

Please try the XFree86-4.2.0-6.39 package from rawhide and let
me know if the problem goes away or not.

Comment 7 Yil-Kyu Kang 2002-03-11 20:06:35 UTC
Tested with beta2 and recieved expected behavior. Please test again with beta2.

Comment 8 John A. Hull 2002-03-14 17:13:02 UTC
Agree. Appears to be fixed in beta 2. Will let mike close bug if 
he agrees.

Comment 9 Mike Chambers 2002-03-14 23:58:07 UTC
Don't know about the XFree packages in beta 2, as I had problems with that 
version for voodoo3.  But the ones in rawhide fixed that and don't see any 
problems with the fonts.dir so I'll close it as rawhide.
