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

[opensuse] About Backing Up
by Dennis J. Tuchler 18 May '07

18 May '07

I have seen advice on listservs not to back up to a CD ROM. I never understood why. Why is it a bad idea to use CDROMS as storage media? -- Best regards, Dennis J.

[opensuse] Partition Resizing
by Colonel Orange 17 May '07

17 May '07

I've been running OpenSuse 10.1 and subsequently 10.2 on a dual boot machine for some time now quite successfully. I'd like to ditch the Windows partition(s) altogether given that it hasn't been used for over 6 months and I can do everything I need to on OpenSuse. Is it possible to simply remove the Window partitions and reallocate to OpenSuse? Partition info: /dev/hda Disk 37.2G /dev/hda1 HPFS/NTFS 35G 18G 18G 50% /windows/C /dev/hdb Disk 74.5G /dev/hdb1 HPFS/NTFS 29G 25G 3.5G 88% /windows/D /dev/hdb2 Extended 33.3G /dev/hdb6 Linux Native 13G 8.6G 4.2G 68% / /dev/hdb7 Linux Native 19G 17G 2.3G 89% /home Ideally I would like to reallocate /dev/hdb1 to /dev/hdb2 then /dev/hdb7 Is this possible to do without loosing my / and /home data and if so which would be the most suitable tool. The Yast2 partition tool will not for example allow me to edit /dev/hdb2.

[opensuse] Install SuSE 102 along side 10.1 - What happens?
by Brian S. Schang 16 May '07

16 May '07

Hello: I'm writing in an attempt to understand how the SuSE installer will accommodate my existing installation. Background: (1) I have SuSE 10.1 successfully installed. (2) I have three hard drives connected: - /dev/sda : the "main" hard drive with SuSE 10.1 and swap - /dev/sdb : a new drive that is blank - /dev/sdc : data (3) I want to leave my SuSE 10.1 intact (untouched) on sda and want to install SuSE 10.2 on sdb. OK, the easy part. I can boot from the SuSE 10.2 DVD and install on sdb. This should be a piece of cake. Presumably an install of SuSE 10.2 on sdb will not touch sda or sdc. Now, the question -- what happens to the boot sequence?? For my setup today (if I understand this properly), I'll boot from sda. Upon boot the master boot record (MBR) will be read from sda and will launch grub on /dev/sda2/boot. The menu.lst file will define the "presets" and default that I have. What happens when I install SuSE 10.2 on sdb? - Will the machine still load the MBR from sda? [I think this is a hardware/BIOS issue?] - Will the machine still load grub from /dev/sda2/boot? - What will happen to my existing menu.lst file? Will it be overwritten (to only contain a 10.2 option) or will it be modified/appended (10.1 and 10.2 options)? The bottom line is that I don't much care, but I do want the option to boot into my working/existing 10.1 versus my experimental 10.2 setup. Will the install program handle this for me? Will I need to make some manual configuration changes after the SuSE 10.2 install? Thank you.

KDE Remote Desktop (VNC) troubles

07 May '07

Hello all, I'm repeating this question and I'd really appreciate any help. I cannot connect to a remote server via KDE Remote Desktop Connection anymore. When trying, I got an error: Connection failed, server does not accept new connections On a server there is: - no krfb processes - netstat -anp | grep 590 returns: tcp 0 0 :::5900 :::* LISTEN 2030/kdeinit: kded therefore someone is waiting for connection - this is SuSE 9.0 Is there a way to restart KDE's VNC on this server without restarting KDE completely? Thanks for any hint and best regards Janko

[opensuse] Kaffeine/DVD
by Billie Erin Walsh 21 Apr '07

21 Apr '07

"The source can't be read. Maybe you don't have enough rights for this, or source doesn't contain data (e.g: no disc in drive). (Error reading from DVD.)" When I try to watch some DVD's in Kaffeine I get the above error message. [ Region 1] [ 10.2 ] It seems that the ones that do this open to a folder called video_ts in Konq. Inside the folder are what I assume are the movie files [ ifo, bup, and vob files ] Konq just lists them as type:unknown. Mediaplayer says there is no media on the disk Some will play through the FBI anti-copy message then stop in Kaffeine. I have watched some of these movies on my other computer with Kaffeine just fine. [ 10.1 and 10.0 ] I just finished watching another DVD on this machine without any hitches. [ Region 3 which brings up another question ] I've downloaded and installed all the Kaffeine and xine updates from Packman. Installed libdvdcss. I've read everything on the wiki and some other sites dealing with playing DVD's in Kaffeine and don't see anything I missed installing. Is there something I just overlooked? About the other question: In a certain Windows DVD player it said that if I watched three DVD's from a certain region it would "lock" into that region only. Does anyone know if Kaffeine does the same thing? -- (o:]>*HUGGLES*<[:o) Billie Walsh The three best words in the English Language: "I LOVE YOU" Pass them on! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
