Hello community ! In my Workstations i use Fedora Core 6. Daily, i
run yum upgrade -y command for upgrade the OS. Yesterday i have a
surprise when finished the yum upgrade and reboot ............ X11 did
not start. Tracing the logs, i found that the XFS Font Server did not
start. NVIDIA driver was correct. Next, put my actions: # startx .....
..... could not init font path element unix/:7000 FATAL: could not
init default font fixed # service xfs status xfs is died, but pid file
found # service xfs restart Starting xfs .... Ok # service xfs status
xfs is died, but pid file found # xfs many of errors indicating:
ignoring font path element (bad font path desciptor) ignoring
/usr/share/X11/fonts/misc (bad font path desciptor) ....... XFS fatal
error: element #0 of font path is bad I am confused, i reinstall the
package xorg-x11-xfs and reinstall the fonts xorg-x11-fonts-base* and
nothing !!! The problem init when the yum upgrade finish the last
actualization. What happend ?, i still continue with the problem, help
!!! Thanks

This wont help you fix the current problem, but I would recommend
against using -y for updates.
It's better to review the packages first, then you can determine if you
really want them
all to be installed.
I might use -y if I am installing a particular package (such as mplayer).
