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

[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] 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.

[opensuse] SuSE Menu and Yast

by Teruel de Campo MD

Problem: yast entry is not any more under SuSE menu/computer tab This seems to be a problem I have in two installations of opensuse 10.3. Initially yast is there then without any problem is not there any more . It is in System config. Yast works ok. Under KDE menu is also OK. How can I add yast back to the SuSE menu/Computer tab.

[opensuse] Can't connect to Creative Zen MTP device

by Steven Cai

I have a Creative Zen V Plus mp3 player, which is an MTP device, and can't get SUSE to detect it. Konqueror recognizes that there is a device mounted, but can't determine what it is. Meanwhile, both Amarok and gnomad2 complain that they cannot detect the mp3 player. I have the libmtp library installed, and some other relevant libraries. If anybody can offer any suggestions on getting this thing to work, I'd appreciate it. Please mention any other libraries you think I might need, I believe I have all the necessary ones but it can't hurt to check. Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Installing 10.3 to a USB external drive?

by Nick Zentena

This may be stupid but a question it is. What if any problems will I have with 10.3 installed on an external USB drive? Windows is on the laptop internal drive. I guess grub will be installed to that. Will it handle booting to the external? Will it gracefully handle the times the external won't be plugged in? I guess it'll be slower then an internal drive.

[opensuse] Zen v. vmware-Workstation to virtualize XP in 10.2

by David C. Rankin

Mates, As a follow on to the previous Zen thread, I too would like further pre-install information on Zen verses vmware-Workstation. I'm dual-booting 10.2 and XP on my laptop at present and I would like to install XP into a virtual machine within 10.2 so I don't need to ever reboot (now rarely) to get into XP. I have a P4 duo-core processor w/1Gig of RAM and plenty of harddrive space. Where can I get more info to see if Zen will work or whether I will have to try a closed source vmware-Workstation. The only apps I ever need in XP are quickbooks, and occasionally an old Micrografx Designer. Thanks! -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
