Setting Gnome app fonts in .bashrc to work from within KDE
by Hugo Garcia 17 Aug '05

17 Aug '05

Hi I have SuSE 9.3 and I searched the mailing list in order to make the fonts from programs meant to be run in GNOME but launched from within KDE to show up properly. I found that you can call gnome-control-center and set the fonts and this will work BUT only for the current session. So... everytime I log on I have to call gnome-control-center. I wonder if I could use gnomecc and put it into .bashrc so that the fonts will be set properly and how would I go about doing it. thanks -H

Hi, Looks like 32bit cairo is not perfectly healthy on 64bit 10b1. Azureus (java based bittorrent client with shonky gtk-wrapped ui) crashes almost instantly stating; -- An unexpected exception has been detected in native code outside the VM. Unexpected Signal : 11 occurred at PC=0x67318A52 Function=(null)+0x67318A52 Library=/usr/lib/libcairo.so.1 NOTE: We are unable to locate the function name symbol for the error just occurred.

Screenshots HowTo
by houghi 17 Aug '05

17 Aug '05

As this is a mailinglist about Beta software, it could be that people want to take screenshots of the instalation (To show errors or show friends) Here ia a page that explains how this is done. This is just to take screenshots during the instalation. Instead of a floppy as explained on the page, I just mount something else. houghi -- To generalize is to be an idiot. -- William Blake

It doesn't look like he is using kdm as his display manager. Enter YAST, System, etc/sysconfig Editor, scroll down to Desktop - Display Manager and see if KDM is loading. There should be several selections, console (my choice since I don't use X), kdm, gdm (gnome), xdm & wdm. Let us know what is there. Cheers, ~James

Changing Window Managers
by Lucky Leavell 17 Aug '05

17 Aug '05

OS: SuSE 9.3 Pro Somehow this one system wound up with twm installed and I want to change it to kde, preferably without reinstalling. I tried changing /etc/sysconfig/windowmanager parameter DEFAULT_WM to "kde" and restarting but that wasn't sufficient. Please point me to the proper HOWTO, article, etc. Thank you, Lucky Leavell

Okidata B4350 Printers
by Lucky Leavell 17 Aug '05

17 Aug '05

Has anyone used one of these with SuSE 9.3 Pro, either directly connected or network? Okidata says they require Windows or MAC OSes but they support PCL, Proprinter and optionally Postscript 3 so it would seem they should work. (I have been using an ancient Okidata OL-410e with no problems.) Thank you, Lucky Leavell

quota and reiserfs on SuSE
by Robert Manfreda 17 Aug '05

17 Aug '05

Is anyone using qoutas on reiserfs in production enviroment? I'm asking this because I managed to set up quotas on my test machine (running SuSE 9.0), and it seems to work fine, but I want to make sure before I implement qoutas on my highly loaded production servers. robert

Moving servers without much interrupt?
by Ronald Wiplinger 17 Aug '05

17 Aug '05

I might want to move. I want to have less interrupt in my service. I use now: web, mail as one server and a database server on the internal LAN The distance is far, and involves several days customs. To overcome a periode of two weeks, I wanted to setup ONE server on the new location, which does everything, web, mail, database. The DNS is now also on the web server. As first I want to move the DNS to the other place, but with the old IP addresses for web and mail. What and how do I go next? bye Ronald Wiplinger
