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

I have a fileserver running SuSE 8.0 with 2 IDE Drives and a
SCSI RAID (RAID5). The system boots up to one of the IDE drives,
and the SCSI RAID drive runs as a mounted filesystem (/dev/md0).
(all filesystems are REISERFS).
Problem:
The SCSI RAID drive has crashed (won't boot up), and I need to
recover it (repair it, through some utility).
Further:
The software does not seem to want to mount the disks, even though
the SCSI BIOS (Adaptec) recognizes the disks, and they are listed as
OPTIMAL.
I tried to repair the disk(s) (with reiserfsck), but it produced an
error message:
reiserfs_open: bread failed reading block 2
reiserfs_open: bread failed reading block 16
reiserfs_open: neither new nor old reiserfs form found on /dev/md0
The literature suggested that this error message is hardware related
(either a disk is physically damaged, or maybe the RAID isn't
recognized), but again, the disks are recognized (and therefore,
so is the SCSI Card).
I tried to boot up with SuSE CD 1 in Recovery mode, but not sure
what to do there (i.e., after the root prompt - just run reiserfsck?).
Literature suggests there are plenty of tools to handle disk recovery,
and especially RAID support, I can't find reference to them
anywhere.
The installation of the RAID was trivial (using the YAST2
partitioning GUI window on startup), and yet recovery seems to be a
mystery. This can't be right.
Does anyone know where there are "decent" and "usable" recovery tools?
OR ... does anyone know what "specifically" to do in this case? Can
I re-partition without formatting, and recover the existing data?
Any help is appreciated - I'm sure I'm missing something "obvious", but
can't find "obviously" what to do in the literature, docs, etc.
Thank you.

We received a copy of 9.1 today at work and I have installed this on three
machines with dissapointing results.
The first machine was an IBM Thinkpad R40 with a Centino 1600 CPU. This
machine worked fine and the performance was great.
The second and third machines were unusable, KDE takes serveral minutes to
start, attempting to start YAST for instance will take about a minute for the
SU box to appear and then another minute for YAST to load. I get similar
results for all applications I have tried, in all instances the system
performs like a P100 with very little RAM.
The machines that run slowly are both Athlon XP based machines, one being an
Athlon XP 2400 with 1GB of DDR RAM on an ECS Elite motherboard.
The second machine is an XP2000 with 512MB of PC3200 RAM on a PCChips
motherboard.
I have applied all the updates with no effect.
Any ideas would be appreciated, I've had to switch back to 9.0 as the whole
9.1 experience is unuseable has anybody got any ideas?

Good day,
Yes there are legal reasons why SuSE cannot have DVD playback of those
pesky movies, but what be done? Would it be too expensive for
Novell/SuSE to license a codec?
Seems like there is a new copyright law in Germany that has made PackMan
be more cautious.
No one has made a player for Linux that is 100% legal, is it due to
expense?

Hi Folks,
I can't seem to get any of the Screen Savers to start in Gnome, though
they are all working in KDE... or are they only for KDE?
They are in the Gnome menu:system Screen Savers.
Thanks (i know they aren't so important)
I'm reposting this, because I think that it's been pushed down far enough
that people aren't seeing it. Basically, I've got my internal wireless card
setup as my eth-pcmcia-0 device. Someone said something about how it should
be bridged to eth1 and then I can use it. It doesn't seem to be doing that.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Branton

Speaking of time, please check yours. Your email showed up with a date of
March 2, 1999...
Thanks,

Yes, I'm a time traveler you see, I'm only in this time segment now to check
on a few stock investments I had in mind...thanx for the tip Stan..

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.
Hello fellow Susers. I want to install Suse 8.2 on an Abit IC7-G with an
intel 875 chipset.Is the hardware supported by this version of the Suse
distro? All the HDD's to be installed along with it are SATA so I
presume tehre may be a problem installing them? Previous experience with
sata disks in linux had them working very slowly and I could no possibly
install the OS on them. Any experiences that a fellow user may have had
with this kind of motherboard/chipset would be welcome.
Thanks
