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

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

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.

SUSE9.3 - SUSE Plugger problem with USB Serial port cable
by Bruce Samhaber 05 Dec '06

05 Dec '06

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?

GIMP will not start...
by Johnny Ernst Nielsen 27 Jul '06

27 Jul '06

Greetings, SUSE Linux 10.0 on an old pentium 400Mhz After the initial setup dialogs on first run, nothing happens. Subsequent starting attempts simply does nothing at all. I have tried "strace gimp 2> outdata.txt" It gives 2357 lines, of which the last 20 looks like this: read(4, "", 4000) = 0 close(4) = 0 gettimeofday({1137533030, 236061}, NULL) = 0 mmap2(NULL, 32768, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x411e4000 munmap(0x411e4000, 32768) = 0 mmap2(NULL, 32768, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x411e4000 munmap(0x411e4000, 32768) = 0 open("/home/hanne/.gimp-2.2", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_LARGEFILE| O_DIRECTORY) = 4 fstat64(4, {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 fcntl64(4, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0 getdents64(4, /* 23 entries */, 4096) = 720 getdents64(4, /* 0 entries */, 4096) = 0 close(4) = 0 mmap2(NULL, 32768, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x411e4000 munmap(0x411e4000, 32768) = 0 open("/home/hanne/.gimp-2.2/gimpswap.10230", O_RDWR|O_CREAT| O_LARGEFILE, 0600) = 4 close(4) = 0 unlink("/home/hanne/.gimp-2.2/gimpswap.10230") = 0 --- SIGILL (Illegal instruction) @ 0 (0) --- +++ killed by SIGILL +++ I am completely blank. Everything else on the computer runs just fine. Can anyone help? Let me know if you need more information, since I have no idea what may be relevant to solve the problem. Best regards Johnny :o)

bug fix support by community
by jdd 18 Jul '06

18 Jul '06

I wonder If we a numerous enough do do so right now, but it could be an idea to go. I beleive that in the near future the Novell Programmers will be very busy working on the new distributions, as they do with 10.1 right now. one of the consequencies is that the debugging of the stable version is short. I know that security debugging is done (and I think well done), but, specially, Yats bugfixes are no more wellcome. However there are still many. many cosmetic (typos, translations), some of them worst (problems in adding inst-sources). In the same time, new SUSE Linux version are more and more hardware demanding. Using 10.0 on a 5 years computer is pretty straight forward, 10.1 is questionable, 10.2 or 3 probably not possible if all goes as it do now (5 years ago, 128Mb ram was current, 256Mb very high end). I understand why this is. But I try to keep all this nice hardware living and I'll hate to revert to debian :-((( I understand also that user using, say, SUSE 9.0 (or 10.0 two years in the future) can afford to update manually the problematics packages (kernel...) for security reason. I know some people use still 7.x versions. But nobody can fix yast alone :() why not us? Yast is a fine piece of code, but a big part is scripts, translations are texts files, openSUSE builder should ease the process. So could the community be more involved in this? As I am, I could take the french translation part and be assigned the translation fix (for example) from bugzilla. what do you think of the idea (the setup is to be discussed after if necessary) jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos

Printing problems
by Art Fore 19 Jun '06

19 Jun '06

These printing problems are about to drive me up the wall in Suse 10. Don't know if it is Suse 10 or Linux in general. I open a PDF file in Opera which opens KPDF. When I print, it prints A4 eventhough the printer is setup for letter in Yast, CUPS, and KDE print manager and the file itself is a letter size document. If I save the file, and open it in Acrobat, it prints OK, but openening it in KPF still wants to print A4. Why is this? Is there some hidden configuration file somewhere I am not aware of? Art
