I’m building an appliance via SUSE Studio. I’ve run the live CD iso in virtualbox. I have also burned the iso to DVD and ran it directly on my laptop. Both methods gave the same results, so I know it’s not a virtualbox or computer issue.
It took three separate builds just to (finally) get it to load the GUI and get to the log in screen. I have linked to an image (below) so you can see what I see. The appliance just freezes with no mouse or tab response and the font (or lack there of I should say) on the user name and password fields are all little square zeros.

I’m not able to check right now but I think there was an error shown in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log in regard to “no local characterset to refer to” in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log. I thought I fixed it but I’ll check later and post back.
Re: jatan11 – I hope it will be that easy for me as well. I’ll give it a try later in the day or tomorrow and post back with the results. I had font errors and also tried adding most font options to fix the problem. I never would have discovered this on my own. Thanks so much…
Added the GNOME Factory 11.3 repo and it caused a few conflicts while building that I didn’t feel like dealing with at the time. I can think of easier ways to accomplish what I’m trying to do.
OK I was frustrated that day. I did add the ‘GNOME Factory 11.3 repo’ and it did fix the problem. I just went through the conflicts adding the repo caused to the existing build and all is well. So if this happens to someone else you will know what to do - 1. Add the GNOME Factory 11.3 repo 2. Fix conflicts (if any) 3. Rebuild your appliance.
