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!)

Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG under SuSE 9.2?
by Jesper Andersson 20 Feb '06

20 Feb '06

Dear everyone, I wonder if anyone has any experience of getting the wireless eth-card in a Dell Latitude D600 to work for SuSE 9.2? The card is an Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG. It is recognised by the system as such, and I am able to configure it in Yast without any obvious problems. However, it doesn't get an IP-address. This is in contrast with the same laptop in the same location booting the XP partition, in which case it finds the network, gets an IP and chats away happily. The setup is the same for SuSE and XP: DHCP, named ssid, WEP-ASCII-5char encryption. The following may be relevant version numbers Kernel 2.6.8-24 wireless-tools 27pre26-10 ipw-firmware 3.3 During boot I get the following messages (some of which sound a bit omnious, but I am not certain how serious they are) that I interpret as related to the problem <4>ieee80211_crypt: unsupported module, tainting kernel. ("tainting is bad, right?") <7>ieee80211_crypt: registered algorithm 'NULL' <4>ieee80211: unsupported module, tainting kernel. . . <4>ipw2200: unsupported module, tainting kernel. <6>ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200 Network Driver, 0.8 <6>ipw2200: Copyright(c) 2003-2004 Intel Corporation . . <6>eth1: Setting MAC to 00:0e:35:ad:e3:81 <3>ipw2200: Calibration and the later on when trying to connect eth1 device: Intel Corp.

Please also be gentle with me if/when replying. I am a bit of a beginner and don't handle jargon very well. Puss Jesper

External disk choice
by Maura Edelweiss Monville 11 Feb '06

11 Feb '06

I have a 4-year old DELL desktop with a heavy CRT monitor that I'm going to give away soon . I also have a 2 month old laptop. Both computers run Linux/SuSE. I would like to buy an external disk to save most of my s/w development now residing on my old desktop. But I would like to be able to use it also with my laptop. Both computers have some USB ports so I daresay an external USB disk would be fine .. I'd appreciate some suggestion about a USB reliable, large capacity but portable, external disk or any alternative solution. Thank you in advance. Maura
