Hello Managers,
I am trying to use Xvfb on one of our 4.0B machines. When
I run it, using:
/usr/bin/X11/Xvfb :1 -screen 0 1152x900x8 -fbdir /tmp,
I get the following error messages as root:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
failed to set default font path
'/usr/lib/X11/fonts/decwin/100dpi/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/,/usr/lib/
X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/'
Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've read that you don't need to run this as root, so when I run
it as myself, I get:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fatal server error:
Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already
running
unlink: No such file or directory
unlink failed, errno 2157
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So I have two questions:
1) What do I need to do to have root start this up (i.e., at boot time)?
2) Can I not run this if I am already running a "real" X server? I
didn't think there was such a restriction.
Thanks for any help,
