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!)

suse 10.0 ftp installation
by Kai Zhang 05 Apr '06

05 Apr '06

Hi, i am downloaded and burned the first CD OSS installation CD. Due to limited number of CD and fast internet connection, i wish to install via ftp. After mounting the NIC, I can't find installation file on ftp server. I am using ftp://mirror.ac.uk/edunfs/mirrors/sites/ftp.suse.com/i386/10.0/iso/ Is this the right place to install via ftp? If not, can you point me to a right directory. I am fast access to mirror.ac.uk and wondering if there is direct installation files available on the ftp server. Thanks for your help! Regards, Kai

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
