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

Hi: I just bought this printer, thinking it would work right out of the box. I'm running SUSE 9.3 with CUPS, and it does not seem to support this model. Anybody got this printer to work? Any pointers would help. Best regards. -- Alfredo Cole-Tuckler

Problem with procmail

by Carlos E. R.

-----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.

USB still broken in SuSE's 2.6.18 kernel

I have been trying to get a fairly simple memory card reader working with SuSE 10.1.

I tested two different hardware configurations, both running the 2.6.16.21-0.25 based kernels, with no luck. Then I tried with the latest Knoppix 5.0 distribution, using a 2.6.17 based kernel, and got no errors! Thinking that the problem was fixed in a later kernel I downloaded all the 2.6.18.1-6 bits and pieces from the Factory but still it doesn't work. Arghh! This is the last thing stopping me chucking Windows off my parents PC. Actually it is already chucked and I need to get this back up and running pretty soon and I really, really want to keep SuSE as that is what I use on all my machines.

SUSE9.3 - SUSE Plugger problem with USB Serial port cable

by Bruce Samhaber

Hi, I am using a USB to Serial port cable. Initially when I start the computer and linux then insert the USB Serial port cable the device is set as /dev/ttyUSB0. If the USB Serial Port cable is removed then reinserted it becomes /dev/ttyUSB1. Each time the USB Port cable is removed then reinserted the device name is increased by one. It appears to me that upon removeal of the device that SUSE Plugger is no removeing the device from the device list. Has anyone seen this problem? Does anyone have any suggestions to fix this? Thanks, -- Bruce Samhaber Senior Hardware Design Consultant Tel: 613-724-5987 112 Kenora St. Fax: 613-724-5987 Ottawa, Ontario Cel: 613-297-6961 K1Y 3L1 mailto: bsamhaber(a)sympatico.ca http://www3.sympatico.ca/marypat/

Slow 3D with NVidia.

by Carlos E. R.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 SuSE 10.1, stock plus YOU updates Pentium 4, 1800 Mhz, 1GiB ram GeForce2 MX/MX 400 (supported according to http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_18897.html) I wanted to check FlightGear, therefore I had to activate 3D and accel. I downloaded the newest nvidia driver, NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8776-pkg1.run. I modified /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the same way I had done previously in 9.3 where it worked, and rebooted. I try "glxgears", small window: cer@nimrodel:~> glxgears 3596 frames in 5.0 seconds = 719.072 FPS 4023 frames in 5.0 seconds = 804.191 FPS 4011 frames in 5.0 seconds = 802.194 FPS full screen 697 frames in 5.0 seconds = 139.220 FPS 652 frames in 5.0 seconds = 130.221 FPS The gears turn slowly, and the main cpu soars to 100%. This is not normal. 3D games like ppracer (Planet Penguin racer) And Flight Gear (Flight simulator) do work, but slowly, play may stop and jerk for a second now and then. At least ppracer worked fine a year ago with SuSE 9.3. But the fact that they work prove there is 3D, otherwise they would refuse to work. I have switched from a depth of 24 bits to 16, but I don't see much difference: 7878 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1575.520 FPS <-- small window 7657 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1531.376 FPS 6948 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1389.504 FPS 7800 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1559.852 FPS 2162 frames in 5.0 seconds = 432.110 FPS <--- Full window 1394 frames in 5.0 seconds = 278.762 FPS 5008 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1001.516 FPS cpu at 100% (90% for process glxgears).
