Hi, I installed a package from the debian repositories called 'vncserver.' Not very discriptive I know, because it doesn't say which vncserver it is, but in any case it seemed to fit the bill for what I needed.
The problem is though that whenever I try to run it, I get a fatal vncserver crash, and it quits complainig about not being able to find quite a few font paths on my system.
I have updated to the latest xorg build and I did run the fix-fonts script and the 'fix-xorg7" script - but both of these also produced errors relating to missing fonts:
Code:
#./fix-xorg7.sh

xserver-xorg is already the newest version.
mesa-utils is already the newest version.
xkb-data is already the newest version.
fix-fonts is already the newest version.

So again, I seem to have some pretty big font path issues. (I wonder if this might explain why it takes xorg so long to start up too? I have a 3.4GHZ machine with 1GB of RAM - but sometimes it takes as long as 6 minutes for KDM and xorg to start (and that is after the rest of the system has fully booted).
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?
