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] OpenOffice Impress sound
by Robert Lewis 02 Dec '07

02 Dec '07

Impress does not play sound on Linux. However, it does with Openoffice on XP. I have had an exchange with the developer and now understand what is causing the delay on Linux. He offers this as a work around while they are sorting out the real solution. http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=50506&view=next However, it would be nice to substitute on SUSE 10.2 fmj which is available for SUSE 10.2 either from Packman or SUSE, I don't remember. However, I have not got that to work. In addition I have not been able to translate his instructions for jmf to a working solution as yet. If anyone knows how to get this working on SUSE and would willing to write up something clear for the rest of that would really be neat.

[opensuse] Suse 10.2
by RTF 28 Aug '07

28 Aug '07

Hi, I have the OpenSuse 10.2 DVD from Linux Format magazine. I was going to install it in a dual-boot arrangement with XP. However, based on what I have read, during the installation, it asks you to choose your desktop (KDE, GNOME, XFCE, or whatever). While I don't have any distribution installed at present, previous installations allowed you to choose the desktop you wanted to use when you booted. Is there a way to install all available desktops/windows managers and then choose the one you want to use when you boot? Many thanks in advance.

[opensuse] Small database program?
by Nick Zentena 19 Aug '07

19 Aug '07

Is there something small and simple? All I want is to set up a simple home database. Items,serial numbers maybe a couple more fields. Every time I go looking all I seem to find is stuff geared at running a Fortune 500 company.

[opensuse] Filesystem becomes read-only
by Tim Donnelly 19 Jul '07

19 Jul '07

I am using Suse 10.2 on two different machines. One is a new Dell Poweredge 2970, the other is an older (2002) "no-name" server. Both have experienced a strange and severe problem since I installed Suse. Basically the file system is put into a read-only state. While the OS and all apps are still running and I can log in a view files/logs etc. nothing can write to the disks. Obviously this causes all kinds of problems. The only way to get the filesystem into a more interactive state is a hard reboot. The first two times this occurred, there were messages in the /var/log/messages file relating to megasas, however as soon as the system was restarted, these warnings disappeared. I believe the file was not actually written to the disk when the system freaked out so once logging resumed those entries were lost. The messages are somewhat similar to these that I found via a Google search: sd 1:2:0:0: megasas: RESET -286287 cmd=8a megasas: [ 0]waiting for 12 commands to complete megasas: [ 5]waiting for 12 commands to complete megasas: [10]waiting for 12 commands to complete megasas: [15]waiting for 12 commands to complete ... megasas: [170]waiting for 12 commands to complete megasas: [175]waiting for 12 commands to complete megasas: failed to do reset sd 1:2:0:0: megasas: RESET -286287 cmd=8a megasas: cannot recover from previous reset failures sd 1:2:0:0: megasas: RESET -286287 cmd=8a megasas: cannot recover from previous reset failures sd 1:2:0:0: scsi: Device offlined - not ready after error recovery Saturday the problem happened on the Dell server, although this time there is no mention of megasas in the logs files. A search of this list did not find any reference to megasas and all too many unrelated results for a read-only filesystem :). System Specs: Dell PowerEdge 2970 Opteron 2.0GHz 64-bit 4 GB memory 3x 73GB Hard Drive (RAID 5) PERC 5i "No-name server" Dual P3 1GHz 1GB memory Dual 36GB hard drives (no RAID) I appreciate any help. Let me know if more information is needed.
