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

DVD playback...
by Matthew 14 May '04

14 May '04

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? Matt

Re: [SLE] Laptop Wireless
by Branton Boehm 25 Sep '03

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?

LILO & triple booting
by lee 23 Aug '03

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.

Abit ic7-g and suse 8.2 support
by Josef332 13 Aug '03

13 Aug '03

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

Is there a open source search engine?
by Greg Freemyer 24 Jul '03

24 Jul '03

All, I've got a Samba fileserver working pretty well, but it would be nice if I could have a web interface that allowed end-users to search for documents on the fileserver. Sort of like a google interface to the fileserver. The trouble is that a lot of the docs are in word, acrobat, etc. Does anyone know an open source search engine that has converters? I've looked at a couple of commercial search engines that would do the job, but I found the prices shockingly high.
