The above font messages are just warnings, unless you end up with no fonts at all. Are there any fatal messages beginning EE? –meuh Sep 30 '15 at 9:47 @meuh, it's more convenient for me to post images. –アレックス Sep 30 '15 at 10:09 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 2 down vote You probably meant to run: Xvfb :1 -screen 0 1024x768x16 & where the :1 is an argument on its own and means use the default network connection +1, i.e. you will need to export DISPLAY=:1 in the environment to connect to this display. Also, the X11 server may run under the name X instead of Xorg. share|improve this answer answered Sep 29 '15 at 17:46 meuh 1

don't immediately lead to a fatal server error (and the termination of the server) are marked in the log file by a (EE) at the beginning of the line. An error that leads xquartz cannot establish any listening sockets to immediate server termination usually prints the line Fatal server error: followed by some addscreen/screeninit failed for driver 0 explanation. I keep getting the error message: could not open default font 'fixed' I keep getting the message: "kernel module version _xservtransmakeallcotsserverlisteners: server already running jenkins is 1.1.1 but 1.3.1 or later is preferred." I keep getting the message: "AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0" I keep getting the message: "failed to initialize core devices" I keep getting the message: "Server is http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/232749/xvfb-screen-cannot-establish-any-listening-sockets-make-sure-an-x-server already active for display 0" I keep getting the message: "Cannot establish any listening sockets..." I keep getting the message "Unable to load required base modules, Exiting..." I keep getting the message: "no screens found" I keep getting the error message: could not open default font 'fixed' This was once by far the most popular Frequently Asked Question. It should no longer be seen on any recent X server release since https://www.x.org/wiki/FAQErrorMessages/ the required fonts are now builtin to libXfont. The remaining answer mostly applies to old X server versions. To run X you need at least the font 'fixed' and 'cursor' to display a cursor image and be able to print meaningful error messages. If these fonts are not present the server doesn't start. My Xserver refuses to start and gives me the error message: Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed' When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send the full server output, not just the last messages. This can be found in the log file "/var/log/Xorg.0.log". Please report problems to xorg@lists.freedesktop.org. There may be different reasons for this: Somewhere (pretty much at the beginning of the log) there is a message: Could not init font path element unix/:7100, removing from list! This message tells that the Xserver is trying to contact a font server which appearantly isn't running. So you need to get your font server up and running before you start X. How this is done depends heavily on the OS and/or the distribution you use. Please contact your vendor support on how to do this! Please note: The use of the font server xfs is deprecated due to several bugs in it.

To cut a log story short i'd been using Ubuntu 10.4 for nearly 3 months after installing it over Windows 7 cannot establish any from a USB, and it worked fine untill one day. I tried to install the Intel Fortran Compiler Trial and the PC crashed. So i did a hard reboot and tried to log on, and it'd just take back to the log on screen. So i hit Ctrl-Alt-F1 and dropped into the terminal and logged on, entered: Code: startx and got: Code: Fatal server error Sever is already active for display 0 Slightly intimmidated i decided to rienstall linux, all my inportant files were in cloud storage so i wans't to bothered. So 1 hr later i had the exacut same system i had before. Reboot, couldn't log on again. So i did some searching and couldn't solve the problem so i reinstaled and this time decided not to install the mandatory updates. It still did not work when logging on. Rienstalled again, installed a different set of programs to what i normally used, didn't update still did not work. Here what i've done so far in my latest atempt (that i can remember): Code: :~$Startx Fatal server error: Server is already active for siplay 1 If this server is no longer running, remove /temp/.X0-lock and start again Havving tried and failed using startx -- :1 before i skipped it and did exacully what it said: Code: :~$sudo rm /temp/.X0-lock :~$startx _XSERVTransSocketUNIXCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed _XSERVTransMakeA11COTSServerListeners: server already running Fatal Server error: Cannot estab

Instead, the screen flashes a few times and blacks out. I can log in through command line in tty2 to 6, but not tty1 and tty7. Code: dmesg | grep error returns several errors like this one: Code: gdm-simple-slav[1644]: segfault at 2d140283 ip 00484a4f sp bfaf99ac error 4 in libc-2.11.1.so I also tried to stop Xserver with: Code: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop And reinstalled nvidia's graphics drivers from their website, then I tried starting it again with Code: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start and got this: Code: gdm-binary[2775]: WARNING: Unable to load file '/etc/gdm/custom.conf': no such file or directory gdm-binary[2775]: WARNING: Unable to dinf users: no seat-id
