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

OpenOffice Impress sound

by Robert Lewis

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.

Suse 10.2

by RTF

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.

Smart kernel replacement

by Bob S

Hello Been using smart for quite awhile now. Works great except for one thing. When there is a kernel update smart replaces it. Don't want that. I want the multiple kernels. I've brought up this and another issue on the labix list in the past and never get any answers. I set a flag for "lock" on the kernel and I also set a flag for "multi-version" on the kernel. Seems that smart is ignoring that and only the new kernel is found in /boot. Am I not doing this correctly? I have four different kernels in /usr/src if that means anything, including the previous and newly updated one.

Re: [opensuse] Adding SATA port multiplier support in Opensuse 10.2

by greg.freemyer＠gmail.com

The PMP patches this thread was about just got submitted to lkml-ide. Great news from my perspective.

Network Manager

by Johannes Nohl

Is Networkmanager (this thing instead of ifup) suse specific? knetworkmanager is just a frontend, right? The problem is that (at least using knetworkmanager) you can't choose between infratructure only and adhoc connections. The point is the hotspot I'm using (it's inside a library with many students) is hiding its SSID. And windows make it to easy to start an adhoc network. So there are a lot of computers saying that they would be the hotspot but they are just a adhoc network. Networkmanager always tries to connect to the adhocs which fails of course. What to do to enforce connecting to the infrastructure?? Will there be a interface for gnome and/or XFCE? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Is there a linux based program that can handle .drw files?

by Robert Smits

Some years ago I used my home gardening program, Key Home Gardener, which was a 16 bit Windows program, to lay out my lot, my septic system, and my landscaping. It produces files in a .drw format, which is a Microsoft vector format. Is there any Linux based program that will allow me to view my .drw files? -- Bob Smits Ph 250-245-2553 Fax 250-245-5531 E-mail bob(a)rsmits.ca -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
