Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'

[Heiner E. Lennackers]

On what platform and what OS your are running the vncserver?

It seems that some fonts for your X server are missing. Is any X server installed on your machine other then vncserver(Xvnc)?

SO HP-ux 11.i

I had a similar problem when the local font server was not started. You can start that with /sbin/init.d/xfs start after editing /etc/rc.config.d/xfs and setting:

RUN_X_FONT_SERVER=1

If that doesn't work go into /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc and see if there is a file named fonts.alias. This should have a "fixed" entry in it.

If not, you will need to find a sub-directory of /usr/lib/X11/fonts that does contain a "fixed" entry in its fonts.alias, or make your own. Then you will probably need to tell VNC about that directory using the -fp option. Or edit vncserver script in /opt/realvnc.

vncserver is ready starting, but I´ve a problem, when the user connects this have de user ROOT, how can do to this connection be a another user, thanx..

Alberto,

Just start another vncserver session using whatever account needs to host it.

telnet nonroot_user
nonroot_user# vncpasswd

nonroot_user# vncserver :NN -depth 16 -geometry 1024x768 ...etc..
