Post by Sreeman »

Hi Guys, need some urgent help.

I have installed solaris 10 u11 on vcenter 5.1. now when i powered on.

the biggest problem is : my font is not working, i mean when i type anyting..i can see only junk characters.
"Could not init font path element /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/misc:scaled, removing from the list
Couldnot open default font "fixed"

Thanks in advance.

I think that you are in the wrong forum. You do not seem to be running a Solaris host nor are you having problems with VirtualBox, but with VMWare. Furthermore,

If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.

Please ask this question on a VMWare support site.
