Description Carl Michal 2006-02-19 22:08:14 UTC

nxserver running on a box that has been transitioned to modular X dies a silent death when a remote session is started because it can't find fonts.  It looks like the font path: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts is hard coded into NX's libX11.

In the monolithic X installation this directory is symlinked to /usr/share/fonts but in the modular X install it doesn't exist.

Hi,

Thanks for the bug report.  We'll get this fixed for you.

Best regards,
Stu

I will look at this immediately. I have xorg 7 and it's been failing. This may be why. Or, the x11 ebuild can generate this symlink? I will see what I can do. :)

The svn has been updated with a fix for this. Though, I may change to a patch later on. The for loop with the sed command takes some time to complete, so a patch may be better. I will think about this.

Hi,

We've added a new version of nx-x11 to the tree, which should work with modular X now.  Could you unmask the latest packages and test?

Best regards,
Stu
