Hello managers,
we have an environment with several different unixes (solaris, linux,
aix, irix). For the distribution of fonts we still use (for "historical"
reasons :) the aix-fontserver xfs (which is a good reason for bad
feelings each day) So we try to move over to the sun-fontserver,
which is started by inetd.
Usually it works to "say" xset +fp tcp/<sun>:<port> without problems.
(<sun> means our sun-host and <port> the port for the fontserver)
But now and then the above command results in the following error-message
(on my linux-based "Xterminal-PC")
X Error of failed request: 86
Major opcode of failed request: 51 (X_SetFontPath)
Serial number of failed request: 9
Current serial number in output stream: 11
This does not mean anything to me :( aside from "it is not working".
A "kill -HUP <inetd_PID>" does not help.
But a reboot (of the sun) does help. My linux-session continues
while the sun reboots.
So what is my real problem? This is solaris-2.7 with most recent patches.
With regards,
Bernt Christandl
