[FreeNX-kNX] could not open default font 'fixed' [kind-of solved]

[Paul Menzel]

Good morning.


Fabian, thank you for the quick reply.

I just do not get. First I tried everything you suggested (see below).
Getting a window started and seeing this message

Info: Not using local device configuration changes.

I started up the client computer again and commented the

AGENT_EXTRA_OPTIONS_X

in node.conf and nxloadconf. Then I restarted the server -- I think this
is not needed, since it is interpreted and not compiled?! -- and it
worked. I thought I tried this yesterday too.

Anyway, somewhere (I think in an ubuntu-forum) I read to add unix
to /etc/hosts, I had added it yesterday and removed it now and it did
not make any difference.

In Debian the package is called xfonts-base, according to the
description the 'fixed' font is included and I have it installed all the
time

$ dpkg -l xfonts-base

Since I was working on the server, I could omit to log in via ssh. I got
the same results.

No, it did not!? A window opened with the !M-Logo popping up for a short
time. This is the output I got.

I tried to try this, but I always got an error about an unknown option
"font path options".

$ /usr/lib/nx/nxnode --agent

I did not get to this point.

Sorry, for bothering you. I have no idea why it did not find the font
fixed yesterday.

I will add this to the Debian Wiki [1].


Thanks
