Adding fonts?
by Tracer Bullet 22 Aug '16

22 Aug '16

Hi all, Reading some mails on the GIMP mail list, I ran across the procedure to install some more fonts for not only Gimp, but the system and StarOffice to use also. Well, I installed the fonts, went to the shell and issued the command xset fp+ <font directory> and then the rehash command and all fonts are there! Ok, that went well, but each time I restart the system, I have to do it all over again? Is there a way to make it permanent and read the new fonts like it does the ones the system installs or is that a no-no? end of line Tracer Shell commands: xset fp+ <new font directory> xset fp rehash -- ---KMail 1.2--- SuSE Linux v7.2--- Registered Linux User #225206 /tracerb(a)sprintmail.com/ *Magic Page Products* *Team Amiga* http://home.sprintmail.com/~tracerb

LILO & triple booting

23 Aug '03

Before I do research on how to do this, it is possible to do this right, on a 2 drive box, with SUSE 8.0 on 1 drive, Debian and 98se splitting the other? I'm already dual booting fwiw.. Thank you for your time.

Dell 2650/Perc3 Raid Controller easy switch??
by shado＠mc.net 25 Apr '03

25 Apr '03

I am currently using a Dell 2650 Poweredge server without a raid controller. It's using the standard adaptec onboard SCSI as it stands. I'm wondering if anyone has installed the Perc3 raid controller and had the Linux install just pop right up (assuming the megaraid module was loading)? I wouldn't need to reformat if all I was doing was switching controllers and hardware mirroring, right? Thanks, Rich shado(a)mc.net

APC Back-UPS CS 350VA USB and SuSE 7.3
by Christopher D. Reimer 24 Feb '03

24 Feb '03

Greetings! I'm thinking about getting an APC Back-UPS CS 350VA USB to automatically shutdown my small file/DSL/firewall server (AOpen micro-ATX motherboard, Cyrix M2-333Mhz, 128MB, 10GB IDE hard drive, SCSI cdrom drive, and no monitor). Does anyone have any experience with this particular UPS? Does the stock SuSE 7.3 kernel support a USB UPS or do I have to hack and patch the kernel to make it work? Recommend a similar model with serial support for under $100 USD? Thanks! Christopher Reimer

Samba Server And Suse 8.0 Setup.
by jonathan 23 Jan '03

23 Jan '03

Hello I have basically a suse samba server setup. Eth0 is for the internet connection (cable). Eth1 is my internal network. I use eth1 for my samba server. When i have the shares/ drive letters mapped, whatever, Ill goto access them and that computer will just lockup or timeout for about 1 minute, then it will resume operation normally. I have approx. 5 comptuers on the suse server, and they all do this from windows xp to windows 98se. I am using set up addresses of 192.168.0.x, where is greater than 2. My question is have or is there something Ive setup wrong to cause this pause to occur. ? Its becomming very annoying..and frustrating. Im using kernel 2.4.18-64GB-SMP with a dual processor setup. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. Every package installed is orginal versions from the suse install cdroms. (no updates done). Anything come to mind. btw, ive replaced the switch, with a new netgear one, and all the networks at startech ST100 Realtek 8139 chipsets on 100Tx. Anyone... !

how to mount a vfat filesystem with mod 777 ?
by Ulrich Schneider 23 Dec '02

23 Dec '02

Imagine the following situation: - computer 1 has linux running and there is a vfat partition mounted - computer 1 is running samba on that vfat partition (i.e. the vfat partition is a share of samba) - computer 2 wants to have write acces on the samba share The problem is, that computer 2 has no write acces, because the vfat partition is mounted 755. The samba.conf file is the following: [public] comment = Schreibbares Verzeichnis path=/home/sure/netzwerk/public public=yes readonly=no browseable=yes create mask=777 How can I make the partition mounted as mod 777 ? Thanks in advance ! Ulrich Schneider
