Xorg Fails to Start: Could Not Open Default Font 'Fixed'

After an absence from my Arch system, I tried to fire it up today and found that Xorg7 now fails to load, telling me that it "could not open default font 'fixed'". I have done a "find" on my whole partition - there is no font file called "fixed*" at all on the system. Just for fun, since I have an older SuSE 9.3 on another partition on the same machine, I searched it too - no files called "fixed*" at all.
Does anyone recognize this error, and know what to do about it?
I haven't touched this partition in probably 6 months (long story). I do have a triple boot on this machine, with the SuSE I mentioned above and also Ubuntu Dapper Drake. I have been running the odd update on those two OS's - I suppose they might have crept onto my Arch partition and messed things up...
Anyway, any and all thoughts much appreciated. I am pretty much dead in the water with Arch. I am running Arch 0.7.2, on a 3.0 GHz Pentium IV HT with 1 GB of RAM.

Hi Guys, thanks for the help. I haven't been able to get back to this for a bit but I finally did tonight. sh___, your tip did the trick. I did the grep and sure enough, fixed WAS on the system, it just clearly was not in the font path. I started backtracking and found that it had been commented out of the font path in xorg.conf. As soon as I uncommented it, X11 was back. Phew!
HOWEVER, XFCE4 is totally borked. It appears that one of my Ubuntu updates wandered onto my Arch partition and kindly updated parts of XFCE4, leaving the whole completely unworkable. Happily, I also have KDE installed on Arch, and was at least able to get an X environment back from which to work on the XFCE4 problem. I am now updating XFCE4 completely to the current version - that should restore version harmony and hopefully all will be well. We shall see! Thanks again.

Xnewt dies: could not open default font 'fixed'

Maybe some of the [information from Chris Gerhard|http://chrisgerhard.wordpress.com/2010/01/11/more-sun-ray-on-opensolaris-build-130/] about getting Sun Ray Software to work on OpenSolaris build 130 can help you.
Note that Chris's blog is about OpenSolaris, not SXCE. SXCE 129 may have additional problems. I found the following information from someone working on X in Solaris:
Though I should probably also warn that if you installed snv_129 from SVR4
packages, many of the links in /etc/X11/fontpath.d will be broken - these
are okay in the IPS packages, and are fixed in the snv_130 X packages.
HOWEVER you probably only want to replace SUNWfont-xxx and SUNWttf-xxx
packages with the versions from snv_130, as I wouldn't be surprised if
Xnewt gets further broken by the snv_130 integrations of Xorg 1.7/X11R7.5
and the move from /usr/X11 to /usr of the programs & libraries.As the SXCE program has ended, you should consider moving to OpenSolaris. The Chris Gerhard blog also has information about getting SRSS to work on recent OpenSolaris builds (b132+).
Of course you'll always have to expect such breakages with new builds, as OpenSolaris is a rapidly evolving platform.

InfoSpoke fails with message "Could not open file on application server"

BW Experts,
I created an InfoSpoke that is configured to extract to a flat file. The name of the file is specified using a logical filename. During extraction, the infospoke reports the error message "Could not open file on application server" adnd marks the extraction process as red(failed). I have tried to run the InfoSpoke in background mode and in dialog mode and the same error appears. After i run in dialog mode, i checked SU53 for authorization errors and did not find any. I also tried changing the Logical filename setup in transaction FILE to a more "friendly" directory in which i'm sure i have authorizations (e.g. my UNIX home directory) and im still getting errors.
Can you please share your thoughts on this? Any help will greatly appreciated. I also promise to award points.

Hi Nagesh,
Thanks for helping out.
If i configure the InfoSpoke to download to a file using "File Name" option and also check the "Application server" checkbox, the extract works correctly (extraction to the defualt SAP path and filename=infospoke name). If i configure the InfoSpoke to download to the local workstation, the InfoSpoke also works correctly. It's only when i configure it to download to the application server and use the "Logical filename" option, that i encounter a failed extract.
Here are the messages is the Open Hub Monitor:
(red icon) Request No.147515

If i clink on the error message, no messages nor clues are displayed. Note, this is a new InfoSpoke that is currently in the dev system.

Photoshop won't start: Could not open a scratch file because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file.

Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended
"Could not open a scratch file because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file."
I've tried finding and checking and fixing permissions but no success.
This happened from one day to the next. I think it has to do with the sn attached to the disk rather then the motherboard. I have the suite co-installed with Symphony 5.05. I've tried reinstalling.
What's to b done? The rest of the Creative Suite 6 (AE, AI etc.) works fine.
Anyone...?

When you have a oracle server running on the same physical machine, why do you need client to support your needs?
As you said, your oracle client installation might be an error, u can always point BIN on app server to your server installation and start the server.That was true up to Oracle 11.1 because the 32bit librairies were shipped in ORACLE_HOME even if that one was a 64bit installation.
It has been dramatically changed within Oracle 11.2 though. The 32bit libraries are not coming anymore within the Oracle 11.2 64bit, you have to explicitely install a 11.2 32bit client to make it work with Peoplesoft on Windows. And configure your Peoplesoft installation to work within that 32bit client.
Consequently, if you have all together installed on the same server (Oracle database 11.2 64bit and Peoplesoft), you must have two Oracle homes : one for the 64bit database, one for the 32bit client.

Hi Patrick ,
What user did you use to start JSPM? Was it <sid>adm? Also based on the error it seems there is something wrong with DataModel.xml JSPM uses. And you've mentioned it was copied from another system if I get it right.
So as a quick workaround you could try removing:
- Jspm.DataModel.xml
- Jspm.J2EE.DataModel.xml
- Jspm.JSPM.DataModel.xml
from ../j2ee/JSPM/data/variables directory and give JSPM another try.
Please make sure the rest of the XMLs are in place otherwise JSPM won't start.
Regards,
Vasil

Can't start Photoshop - 'Could not open a scratch file'

Hi, I recently installed Photoshop CS5, however every time I open the application, I am receiving this error message at the loading screen:
"Could not open a scratch file because the file is locked or you do not have the necessary access privileges. Use the ‘Get Info’ command in the Finder to unlock the file or change permissions on the file or enclosing folders."
I've looked online for solutions everywhere, but I've obviously been unsuccessful and I'm at the point where I have no idea what else to try, other than a clean install of my OS, however that is a last resort as I currently do not have an external hard drive to transfer my files to do so. So far I have tried these things:
Reinstalled Photoshop many times, even the CS6 BETA is giving me the same error.
Deleted preference files within /Library/Preferences/
Used the cmd+alt shortcut when starting Photoshop to select a different scratch disk location.
Used the cmd+alt+shift shortcut to delete the settings file, which I cannot do as the error message mentioned above appears before the window for deleting the settings file does.
Tried rebooting several times, even into safemode and I still get the same message.
Tried changing the permissions on the Applications folder, Adobe folder, CS5 folder and CS5 application, however they are all set to 'read & write access' for me. I am also set as an administrator.
Cleaned my cache of any unneccessary files.
I have also repaired my permissions using Disk Utility, but that didn't solve the problem.
I have a 2010 Macbook Pro, 4GB RAM running OS X Lion 10.7.3 with 2 patitions on my harddrive (OS X and Windows 7). I have 15GB free on my OS X partition currently, which may not seem like much, however I have run Photoshop CS5 previously as a trial and other versions of Photoshop and the small amount of harddrive space has never affected the software's ability to create a scratch file.
The strange thing, however, is that I can use Photoshop CS5 & CS6 on a guest account that I created recently, which means that the problem I am having is permissions based. Logging into a seperate account is a good enough solution for now, but it is incredibly tedious to keep changing accounts just to use Photoshop.
Has anyone got any other ideas? As I mentioned previously, reinstalling is a last resort as I currently don't have the neccessary resources.
Thanks.

I managed to fix this myself, almost by accident, after failing every method suggested that I came across.
My problem was due to 'read only' access being set to some folders in ~/private/ on my main account, meaning that Photoshop could not create an important, temporary scratch file in this location.
To anyone else who comes across this thread due to having the same problem, here's the solution:
Open finder, then go to 'Go' in the menu bar and select 'Go to folder'
In the window that opens, enter '/private/' and click 'Go'
Then, right click on the folder 'tmp' within /private/ and select 'Get info'
In here, scroll to the permissions section and change the relevent user permissions to 'read and write'
Before closing this window, click on the gear icon underneath the list of users and select 'Apply to enclosed items' and hit 'Ok' in the next window.
Finally, repeat steps 3 - 5 for the folder named 'var', also within /private/ and you're done. Photoshop should now open as intended!
Although this solution was ideal for my home laptop, giving 'read and write' access to important folders like these can probably lead to lowered security so please do it at your own risk.

Could not open error log file ''. Operating system error = 5(failed to retrieve text for this error. Reason: 15105).

Hello
When I try to start the SQl server service i get the following error:
Event id 17058
Could not open error log file ''. Operating system error = 5(failed to retrieve text for this error. Reason: 15105).
As a test I have made sure the errorlog file ,and the entire drive it is, has everyone full control permissions, but to no avail. Does anyone have any ideas to resolve this issue?
Thank you

Hi,
Try running:
SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('ErrorLogFileName')
Then verify that the account being used to run the SQL Server service account has access to the path output above. If possible, you could try logging onto the server with the same account used to run SQL Server then navigate to the errorlog folder.
Thanks,

SQL Server running under NetworkService account and has full control on this files..
from Config Manager ....
The request failed or the service did not respond in a timely fashion....
From Event log..
initerrlog: Could not open error log file 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Log\ERRORLOG'. Operating system error = 5(Access is denied.).
Any idea or workaround..?
Thanks..

Finally I found solution and was able to bring back online the SQL Services...
I had a very similar issue with the following error (event log):
Description:
The SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) service terminated with service-specific error 17058 (0x42A2).
For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
Event Type: Error
Event Source: MSSQLSERVER
Event Category: (2)
Event ID: 17058
Date: 19/05/2012
Time: 10:20:14
User: N/A
Computer: NSQLXX
Description:
initerrlog: Could not open error log file 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\LOG\ERRORLOG'.
Operating system error = 5(error not found).
In this case the ERRORLOG file had been marked as read only. This was following a scheduled automated boot. -This
was culprit
MSSQL wouldn't not start until this file had been changed.

Launcher means shortcut to execute any file which is inside folder in Linux.Launcher are created on desktop to execute by one click of mouse.You need to create a command file that contains the required instructions to run putty with whatever relevant command line switches in order to start the remote program/process on Linux.
For example, you have a trusted ssh connection (no password prompting) between your Windows account and the Linux vmware account. You need to execute command line +/home/vmware/bin/vmstart myVM+ on Linux.
Your command file in Window will look something as follows:
@echo off
"c:\program files\putty\pssh.exe" vmware@my-linux-server "/home/vmware/bin/vmstart myVM"Once you've create this command file (.cmd file extention), you can create a desktop shortcut for it and assign an icon to it.
However, first test the command file via an interactive console session to ensure it works. Also, I'm not sure you can script telnet using putty - but putty's ssh does support the standard ssh command line and one can execute programs/commands on the remote server in this fashion.
Setting up trusted ssh connections is also important as passwords is a weak security mechanism. It requires a secret to be used and coded into scripts/software that needs to be authenticated.
With ssh you generate a public/private key combination, and provide the public key as unique identifier for your o/s user and platform to a remote server (e.g. Linux). This now enables your platform and o/s user to be authenticated via the privatre/public key pair when your platform establishes a connection with the server.
In putty, generate a ssh key (RSA). Copy and paste the public key into the Linux server account's "+home/vmware/.ssh/authorized_keys+" file. Make sure that the +.ssh+ directory and key have user read/write permissions only. And that's it - no password needed by your account to ssh into the Linux server account. No secrets that need to be kept secret (and that can be stolen and used from any other platform to gain access).

Unable to start Photoshop CS6 - could not open a scratch file because the file is locked (Windows)

When I first installed Adobe Photoshop CS6 I was unable to run Photoshop or Bridge CS6. Photoshop would give me an error about "could not open a scratch file because the file is locked. If I ran either of these programs as an administrator they would run without issue, this led me to believe that there was a permission issue somewhere. After some digging I found out the both Bridge and Photoshop try to create a temp file (similiar to Photoshop Temp2777223910092) on the c:\ drive of the computer. In my case the user that I was logged in with did not have access to write to the root of the C:\ drive. Note that you run the program as the administrator and change the scratch disk location as that changes the preference for the administrator user and not the user that you are currently logged in as.
To get around this issue I first had to give the user that I was logged on with write permissions to the root of the C:\ drive. Next try and run Photoshop, you will get an error another error about the scratch disk and about and invalid or missing setting file. To correct this you need to have run Photoshop as an administrator, next you can go to Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings and copy Adobe Photoshop CS6 Prefs and/or Adobe Photoshop X64 CS6 Prefs to Users\<your logged in username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings.
Photoshop and bridge should now start up with no issues.
I hope that this can help others out there as this caused me a great deal of frustration when upgrading to CS6.

OK, here comes the explanation of what the scratch disk does and why it's optimal to have it on a physically separate internal drive (not partition!) other than your boot drive
I probably shouldn't say anything since it could complicate this thread, but the rules of thumb can be different under special circumstances when SSD is involved.
IF you have a LOT of empty space on your SSD-based system drive, then Photoshop can actually work great with it's scratch setting pointed at the system drive. This is because a) SSD transfers are much faster than spinning hard drives and b) there's no seek time, so simultaneous transfers to/from scratch and swap files aren't devastating to performance, and you can see a net gain because of the increased I/O throughput over what's possible using a separate spinning drive for scratch.
But if you don't have a huge amount of free space (hundreds of GB) on the system SSD, it's definitely better to use a separate drive, as station_two has said.
Also, up to about a year or so ago, you had to try to severely limit write activity to your SSD drive, since you could actually wear them out by repeated high data write activity. That's pretty much a non-issue now with the advent of things like the SandForce in-drive controller that does wear-leveling inside the drive. Modern drives will last 10 years or more in normal typical use, without special consideration.
As it turns out, making a RAID array of SSDs is a great way to boost performance across the board, have bunches of free space, and ensure even the heaviest usage doesn't shorten the drive life. I have done so, creating a 2 TB system drive C: made from 4 SSDs and Photoshop's swap file (and pretty much everything else) pointed to C:. This system flies, and I can barely tell when Photoshop and/or Windows "goes virtual" and starts using its scratch/swap files heavily. I don't even notice Photoshop auto-saves.
Sorry for the SSD diversion.
Back on topic:
Pretty much everyone who's successfully using a computer - Mac and PC users alike - comes to realize after a while that the task of integrating things on their computers and making everything work falls on THEM, not the developers of applications like Adobe. Some applications pose unique challenges, but to think you can just throw up your hands and try to make it someone else's problem when something goes wrong simply isn't a viable strategy. Maybe that's how things should be, but it's not how it is.
For those of you struggling to get Photoshop to run properly, bear in mind that it's on you to get things working. It works for most folks. It could be a configuration or setup choice you've made that may need revisiting, or some kind of restorative activity that you need to do, or even something very minor like clearing your Photoshop preferences, but it may well take your learning new things and doing things you didn't think you'd have to do to get back to where you can edit photos. It's no one's problem but your own.
So let us here on the forum help you - when we say to do something, try it. We're not here to jerk you around; we're users just like you who have already found the ways to make things work, and we'd like to help you do the same.
