Ubuntu :: Twm: Unable To Open Fontset "-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*"
Oct 14, 2010
that's what i get on one of my 2 new lucid boxen when i try to run twm (1:1.0.4-2ubuntu2) inside vnc4server 4.1.1+xorg4.3.0-37ubuntu2). any idea how to fix this? the xfonts packages are installed, and no problem with twm on the console. and no problem with twm inside vnc4server on the other lucid box. both were installed via netboot (minimal), both were fleshed out with apt-get lubuntu-desktop, though there were presumably inconsequential differences, on the one that works fine:
Code:
apt-get install twm
apt-get install vnc4server xvnc4viewer
apt-get install lxde-core
apt-get install lubuntu-desktop

I'm on slackware64-current. When I start xfig, it issues a warning "Unable to load any usable fontset". Then, it exits/aborts as soon as I try to browse the library (Shift-l, select a library, bang).Couldn't find much via google about the message. Does it work on your slack current?
$ xfig

I recently upgrade from 11.3 to 11.4, KDE 4.6.1. I have /home on a separate partition and it was unchanged in the upgrade. If I open Personal Settings-Application Appearance-Fonts, one of my font choices is Adobe Helvetica. If I open Gimp, open a new file, I can select Adobe Helvetica as a font and insert text in my new file. If I open Inkscape (svg drawing application), I can select Adobe Helvetica as a font, text is inserted but when I reselect it for editing, the window indicates that the font is just Sans. (Inkscape has some font selection wierdness, but keep reading). If I open LibreOffice, Adobe Helvetica is NOT on the font list for selection.
If I run
Code:
fc-list |grep Adobe
Adobe Courier:style=Bold
Adobe Utopia:style=Italic
Adobe Times:style=Bold
Adobe Helvetica:style=Bold Oblique
Adobe New Century Schoolbook:style=Bold Italic
Adobe Utopia:style=Bold
Adobe Utopia:style=Regular
Adobe Helvetica:style=Oblique
Adobe Courier:style=Oblique
Adobe New Century Schoolbook:style=Italic
Adobe New Century Schoolbook:style=Bold
Adobe Utopia:style=Bold Italic
Adobe Times:style=Regular
Adobe Times:style=Bold Italic
Adobe Times:style=Italic
Adobe Helvetica:style=Bold
Adobe Helvetica:style=Regular
Adobe New Century Schoolbook:style=Regular
Adobe Courier:style=Regular
Adobe Courier:style=Bold Oblique
However, I cannot find any files named Adobe Helvetica or Helvetica in /usr/share/fonts/* and I am not really sure it is installed. My suspicion is that the upgrade process preserving /home has the system looking at some old information, and that gimp and Inkscape are doing font replacement, while LibreOffice is doing it's own thing. What is the best procedure to refresh the system info on what fonts really are loaded?

using the application manager and yum, however, I need to install an executable that is in neither. It isn't an RPM either. $ file results in :

running:

I don't know too much about the licensing issues surrounding fonts, but I would like to install Helvetica on my machine for my own personal use. I haven't been able to find a whole lot about this on Google.There are a lot of Helvetica alternatives out there, but I want Helvetica itself.

I'm using fedora 13 (64 bit) distro. I had installed adobe reader recently through the "bin" file.
everything installed correctly in the "opt/adobe" directory. But after installation when I tried to open a pdf document using adobe reader it doesn't respond anything. Even when I tried to open it through the kernel I got the error message as follows...
Code: [pradeep@localhost ~]$ acroread
/opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread: error while loading shared libraries: libxml2.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[pradeep@localhost ~]$ s
Should I do anything else after installing that bin file?

I've installed in Lenny with the 2.6.26-2-686 kernel, the xorg-xserver-input-evouch package, I've edited the xorg.conf, as described in this howto [URL]. It works to the where I am trying to start the calibrate.sh script. When I start it, the X screen pops up, but in the console I get a message, that failed loading font '*-helvetica-*-12-*'. After that the calibration tool dies.

Everything was working great with my FC12 box. I think the Fedora Gods must be punishing me as I had recently downloaded an image for another distro, but was only trying to install it to usb and play with it on another computer!
Then I tried to boot and I got an error message:
Code:
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[code]....
Can't mount root filesystem
Boot has failed, sleeping forever. I obviously don't understand the boot process well enough to fix this problem, so I'll describe what happens in more detail. (Feel free to correct my terminology so I can communicate in a more concise manner next time!)
1) Bootloader comes up fine and I'm able to select my kernel. (This problem affects all kernels)
2) Then as usual a whole bunch of text goes flying across the screen identifying hardware.
3) During this hardware identification, at the point where all my disks are being identified sd 1, sd 2, sd 6... I get the error shortly/immediately after this.
I cant tell for certain if its immediate because so many mount messages are spewed and I am not sure how to 1) pause the screen or 2) scroll the screen or 3) output this information to a file. But it does sit long enough on the disk identification which is right before the mount errors. I was able to look at a previous dmesg and noticed that dracut comes right after the disk identification, so I think the mount errors are being generated in dracut. (Now whether dracut is the problem or not is another issue) I am able to boot using a rescue usb and mount my LVM manually and then browse the root filesystem, so at least my data seems to be safe!
my /etc/fstab:
Code:
UUID=7acf1074-64bb-4a73-9558-f9657f712756 /boot ext4 defaults 1 2
/dev/mapper/vg_willowtree-lv_swap swap swap defaults 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0

I am using Debian 5.0 (Lenny) upgraded from Debian 4.0 ( Etch). Being an upgraded install seems to make quite a difference in a number of areas as I am still running several applications which are no longer available due to lack of maintenance. I am running a number of applications that would simply not be available on a clean Debian 5.0 install.
I installed Adobe Flash 10 not from the Debian repository but using dpkg -i and the Ubuntu deb package from the Adobe website. The Flash version in the Debian repository was down level from the version I wanted installed. The install ran fine and the verification of flash in Iceweasel, Iceape, Chrome and the Gnome web browser all verified as version 10 on the Adobe web site.
Subsequently I discovered that Iceweasel was being misidentified as not running Flash 10 on a web site that required Flash 10. This was not happening with any of my other browsers. I looked in Tools/AddOns/Plugins in Iceweasel and found that Flash 9 and Flash 10 were both present. Disabling the Flash 9 plugin caused Flash verification to fail as if Flash were not on my system.
I did an apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree which appears to have removed all traces of Flash 10. Now all of my browsers verify on the Adobe site as Flash 9 and work properly on all sites that require Flash 9 or lower. Looking in /usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins I see no flash plugin library at all. A Flash plugin library was in this folder until I did the above remove operation.
I do not understand how Flash 9 can be installed and operational and not have a library appear in the Iceweasel's plugins folder. Using dpkg -l as well as Synaptic I cannot seem to find a package to remove that would remove Flash 9.
Anyone know the name of a package I can remove to uninstall Flash 9?
Anyone know in what folder I might look for the Flash 9 library?
Anyone know if a fresh install of Iceweasel supports the automatic installation of Flash when visiting a web site that requires flash? This may well be how Flash was installed originally and part of the reason why I can find no reference to it in the expected folders.

I'm sure there is an easy solution for this but I can't figure it out. Just recently installed F13 and I'm trying to load Java and Adobe Reader, but I can't get installer to come up. I have tried both Firefox and Chrome to download it. I have tried to install by command line, but no luck.

When system is playing a media ( e.g. sth.mp3 ) by a media player like Totem, then I open a browser and forward to a page that should play sounds, but everything is pretty normal except the sounds ( I mean there's no sound ).
When firstly open a browser to surf the pages. If there's sound played in the browser, I can't play a audio media in a standalone player ( e.g. Totem ) before I close the browser. But If there isn't any sound played in browser, the outside player will work normally.
The 2 situations happens between no matter Chrome or Firefox and a outside player. I guess there maybe a conflict between gstreamer and adobe flash player. But I am not sure what happened in my system.

On a Debian system, I installed Adobe Acrobat Reader using the Linux binary (AdbeRdr9.4.2-1_i486linux_enu.bin) downloaded from Adobe's website. I realized there's a way to install it from a Debian package as opposed to Adobe's binary (and be able to keep up better with security updates), so I want to remove Adobe's version and install the Debian package. What's the right way to uninstall Reader when it was installed this way?
