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

Problem with procmail
by Carlos E. R. 16 Jan '07

16 Jan '07

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I'm having a problem with some mails handled by one particular rule in procmail - all the rest are being handled ok. The .procmailrc goes like this: VERBOSE=on LOGFILE=$HOME/procmail.log ... cut :0 * ^Received: from correo.foo.es { :0 * ^Received: from (ruebert.ieee.org|engine.ieee.org|hormel3.ieee.org|boldfish.ieee.org|aries3.…) $HOME/Mail/in_ieee :0 * ^FROM_DAEMON $HOME/Mail/in_daemon :0 $HOME/Mail/in_foo } The problem is that mail matching the "^Received" clause above goes to the "/var/spool/mail/cer" folder instead of the "$HOME/Mail/in_foo" that corresponds. The log is this, showing a write error: procmail: No match on "^List-Id: <husky-discuss.lists.sourceforge.net>" procmail: Executing "/usr/bin/spamc" procmail: No match on "^X-Spam-Status: Yes" procmail: No match on "^^rom[ ]" procmail: No match on "^From.*FETCHMAIL-DAEMON(a)nimrodel.valinor" procmail: No match on "^To.*virusalert(a)nimrodel.valinor" procmail: No match on "^From.*(MAILER-DAEMON|postmaster)(a)nimrodel.valinor" ... procmail: Match on "^Received: from correo.foo.es" procmail: No match on "^Received: from (ruebert.ieee.org|engine.ieee.org|hormel3.ieee.org|boldfish.ieee.org|aries3.…)" procmail: No match on "(^(Mailing-List:|Precedence:.*(junk|bulk|list)|To: Multiple recipients of |(((Resent-)?(From|Sender)|X-Envelope-From):|>?From )([^>]*[^(.%@a-z0-9])?(Post(ma?(st(e?r)?|n)|office)|(send)?Mail(er)?|daemon|m(mdf|ajordomo)|n?uucp|LIST(SERV|proc)|NETSERV|o(wner|ps)|r(e(quest|sponse)|oot)|b(ounce|bs\.smtp)|echo|mirror|s(erv(ices?|er)|mtp(error)?|ystem)|A(dmin(istrator)?|MMGR|utoanswer))(([^).!:a-z0-9][-_a-z0-9]*)?[%@> ][^<)]*($.*$.*)?)?$([^>]|$)))" procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/home/cer/Mail/in_foo" procmail: Opening "/home/cer/Mail/in_foo" procmail: Acquiring kernel-lock So far, normal. procmail: Error while writing to "/home/cer/Mail/in_foo" procmail: Truncated file to former size A write error.

print from K-Mail run together
by Doug McGarrett 01 May '06

01 May '06

I don't remember seeing this problem on the list. KMail print on screen is clear and most letters are separated. When I print out a mail, some letters, particularly the "t", the "si" and the "sk" combinations are scrunched together with adjoining letters. I am printing to an HP 2200D laserjet. The typeface on screen (and on paper) is a sans-serif font. Even on screen, it is slightly scrunched in spots. "ri" and "ti" and "tt" and "th" are too close together. Suggestions? TNX--doug

Can't open Transcode tarball or it doesn't exist
by Peter B Van Campen 29 Apr '06

29 Apr '06

Hi Folks, I have been trying to get a tarball of transcode to compile on my SUSE 9.2 system. Every pkg I have d/l'd from the sites listed on the Transcode Wiki page: http://www.transcoding.org/cgi-bin/transcode are unopenable. Every one, including the beta versions. Have I made one of those embarrassing newby errors? Konqi Filemgr says : "The file does not exist" even tho it lists it. Is there a location for a transcode I can open and compile? PeterB p.s. The pkgs are unopenable on my SUSE 8.2 sys also -- -- Proud SUSE user since 5.2 Loving SUSE 9.2 My BLOG == http://vancampen.org/blog --

screen, mouse, kb lockup
by Doug McGarrett 26 Apr '06

26 Apr '06

While attempting to stop a video playing on Macro Media Flash Player 7, I managed to lock out everything. I could not move the mouse cursor, the arrow keys and the rest of the kb didn't work, ctl-alt-del did nothing. None of the function keys did anything. (The video was something downloaded from the 'net via Firefox.) I wound up pulling the big switch, as us hams like to say. Is there anything else I could have done? I'm trying to put Linux to practical use, and this is the first time I've seen 10.0 crash, so it's good, but not fool-proof. (If something can be broken, this fool will break it!)

stopping dictionary attacks on sshd
by Dan Abernathy 30 Mar '06

30 Mar '06

Hello all I notice several automated break-in attempts appearing in /var/log/messages regarding sshd. A small sample: Nov 7 14:34:10 d8400 sshd[18607]: Invalid user a from 71.129.198.189 Nov 7 14:34:11 d8400 sshd[18609]: Invalid user aaron from 71.129.198.189 Hundreds of entries like the above, working their way through every English letter using common first names, also names of services like Apache. I ran across this Novell Cool Solutions article: http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/trench/16341.html It describes the use of a shell script, run once per minute using a cron job, that parses information from /var/log/messages and adds offending IP addresses to /etc/hosts.deny. I saved the script as ssh-block.sh in my home folder, in a subdirectory named cronjobs. I used su to become root and ran crontab -e, and added the script to run once per minute. Entries in /var/log/messages confirm that the shell script is indeed being run every minute, but the contents of /etc/hosts.deny hasn't changed at all, despite the presence of failed sshd log-ins (also written to /var/log/messages). Can someone knowledgeable about shell scripts take a look at the URL above and see if there is a problem with the script? If not, what did I do incorrectly? What's the proper way to run this job regularly? I assume it must be run as root, both to read /var/log/messages and to write to /etc/hosts.deny. Dan

TV spool
by Carlos E. R. 27 Feb '06

27 Feb '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Is there a program in Linux, that allows me to save the TV stream to a file, then watch that file somewhat later, at the same time you are saving the program? There are hardware boxes that do this. You know, you are watching a program, somebody phones you, so you press a key, and later you continue watching from the point you stopped, while the box continues saving the rest of the program that is still on air. But to do that on a PC, in Linux? - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFDcKEHtTMYHG2NR9URAjhGAJ4zENessY1F846qOYQQQlql7EE9MACfVo+j kWFCdTZLa39Rrm+1k9BBaMk= =AQcO -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
