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

HP Laser 1020

by Alfredo Cole

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

It is eminently fair and for the most part, accurate. I think any inaccuracies could be attributable to unfamiliarity rather than bias. If this reviewer hadn't been what I would call a 'Power-user', and had instead been someone converting from Windows, not only would they probably not have had a successful install, but would have an article that Microsoft would probably have printed in full page ads throughout the world. As it is, it should wake up Senior Management in SuSE. regards Richard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] SUSE SWAMP

by Ciro Iriarte

Anybody tried it?, is it actually being used on the Opensuse project?. Looks interesting.... Maybe it can replace workflow apps on Domino/Notes... Webpage: http://swamp.sourceforge.net/ SWAMP - The Workflow Platform SWAMP is a workflow processing platform. Workflows are processes with many people involved in many working steps. In a real world scenario these workflows are highly dynamic, but still many systems try to hardcode the business logic. That leads to raising efforts to adapt the system. Here is where SWAMP steps in: The workflow is designed in a XML based meta language in one file which is read by SWAMP. Workflows can be built from different workflow 'patterns' like simple actions, decisions, selections, loops, but also custom code and external events if required. SWAMP builds a HTML GUI from the workflow definition file that guides different users through the whole process, sends notifications if required, assembles overview pages over all running processes and much more. A SOAP interface can be used to integrate external systems into the workflow. These are SWAMPs main Features: * Support of many different workflow patterns * Flexibility in workflow design: A workflow can be specified in a single XML file * Workflow evolution: Workflows can be developed while in operation (versioning) * Ease of use: clear and straightforward XML based workflow definition language, no coding skills needed * Workflows can attach data and files * Automatic web-GUI generation for handling individual tasks and administrating workflows * Running on Linux + Windows with OS-independant tools: Java, Tomcat, MySQL * MySQL + LDAP authentication possible * User and Role management, workflows/tasks can be restricted * Mail notification system included * Unlimited amount of different workflow-types on one server * Scheduler to control time-critical workflow paths * SOAP interface allows interaction with external systems * Openness: Custom code allows unlimited functionality, event- and data gateways * Customizeable overview lists with filters -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Display oddity when upgrading from 10.0 to 10.3

by jfweber＠gilweber.com

Hello, everyone. I am writing using my wife's account on the SuSE list. I recently upgraded my desktop from 10.0 to 10.3 (clean install). Now when I view images (for example, a powerpoint slide, or a .jpg) what previously had displayed as a perfect rectangular landscape image instead shows as almost a square (and in some cases actually is a square). The page size setting in Powerpoint is correctly set at the default and I confirmed that it is the same as on another computer (SuSE 10.0) that displays properly, so that's not the problem. I have looked everywhere in Powerpoint and in Gwenview for a setting (e.g., aspect ratio) that might be off but have not found anything that changes the aspect ratio or any other setting so that what is now appearing as a square or nearly a square will instead display as a proper rectangle. I also looked at various images on my 10.0 laptop which displays properly and copied those images to the 10.3 desktop. When viewed on the desktop the image (e.g., a screen shot) is squished. :o( Any ideas on how to get this 10.3 pooter to display images correctly? Many thanks for your wise suggestions.

[opensuse] openSUSE contributor survey

by janfst＠student.matnat.uio.no

Hello, My name is Jan Fredrik Stoveland, and I am a masters student at the University of Oslo writing a thesis on firm-sponsored open source communities. openSUSE is the main case for the study. I have been granted permission to send you this email by the openSUSE management, and I hope you do not mind receiving it. I would like to ask all active members of this mailinglist to participate in a brief, anonymous electronic survey targeted at active contributors in the openSUSE community. So if you regularly post messages on this list to help other users, I would appreciate if you participate in the survey. Other users may participate too. The research is funded by the University, and is independent of any commercial interests. The link to the survey is here: https://nettskjema.uio.no/answer.html?fid=38823&lang=en The questions in the survey concern your current engagement in the openSUSE community, your reasons for participating in the community and your affiliation with Novell. I expect the survey will take you maximum 10 minutes to complete, unless you find any questions difficult to answer. What do you get in return for doing this? The results from the survey will be published on opensuse.org, and the thesis with other interesting findings about your community will be published around May next year. Hopefully this will be of interest to you. But first of all I hope you will contribute for the sake of research itself. Thank you very much for your help!

[opensuse] 10.3 Kernel problem with P5A-B motherboard.

by Roger Hayter

I should be most grateful for advice on how to investigate this problem further. I have installed opensuse 10.3 on a P5A-B motherboard (Aladdin V chipset) with 512MB of SDRAM, Cyrix MII-300 processor. This runs slowly, with somewhat garbled graphics (ATI Radeon 7000) if I use X windows. Without X windows, in run level 3, the load average after booting (and after it has done various database things and settled) is about 0.50. Even if I start it with so-called safe mode and remove all loadable modules apart from those needed to drive the IDE interface the load average never falls below about 0.20. In the first case the CPU usage is about 60% idle and about 30% "si" (is this context switching?). In the second, CPU is about 95% idle, but the load average varies from 0.16 to 0.22. I assume some driver or high priority kernel process too fundamental to show up by "ps" is in a loop occupying processor time. Certainly the machine is even more sluggish than the hardware should warrant (and I am using older hardware in a router running SuSE 10.1 with load averages about .01 to .02). This is clearly too vague for a bug report, can anyone suggest how I can pin this down more, for instance find out where the CPU is spending most of its time?

[opensuse] rsync - keys - no-password question

by James D. Parra

Hello, I want to stop the password request when running rysnc on a second source server. I have a single target machine that has ssh keys from a source machine (source A). I want to connect a second source machine (source B), using rsync over ssh, to the target machine, however I see keys in the target machine's /etc/ssh directory. If I create keys on 'source B', they'll have the same name as the keys from source A on the target machine. Sorry if this is a stupid question, but how do you accomplish having the ssh keys set properly on the target machine from two different source machines?
