Adding fonts?

by Tracer Bullet

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] Problem with codec installer in opensuse

by Yin T

I performed a fresh install of opensuse 10.3 and proceeded to go to http://software.opensuse.org/search for the codecs I selected and executed Codec-Audio-Video.ymp. During the installation process I received a dialogbox with the following major message and assoc options. No valid solution found with just resolvables of best architecture and speex cannot be installed due to missing dependencies. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Problem-with-codec-installer-in-opensuse-tp14946930p1… Sent from the openSUSE community mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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] SLES, openSuSE and release cycles... what's the plan?

by Frank Steiner

Hi, I tried to figure out (via the SLES support) when SLES 11 will be released. The answer was that SLES 11 will likely (not guaranteed) have a common code base with opensuse 11.1 and thus should appear in spring 2009 or so. More detailed information couldn't be given due to legal issues. Maybe I can get some general statements about this topic from some openSuSE and SLES developers here, I don't know where else to discuss this. So far, SLES was supposed to be released in a 2-year-cycle, from 8 to 10 it was even less (22 months). With the information from the support I wonder if this 2-year period is still targeted at or not. It looks like opensuse 11.0 will take very long according to the schedule. To keep the 2-year-cycle for SLES, SLES11 would have to share the code base with openSuSE 11.0 (and even then it would be short due to the 2-3 months delay between the SuSE and the SLES version in the past). When sharing with openSuSE 11.1 and assuming the same long development cycle for 11.1 as for 11.0, SLES 11 would indeed appear sometime in spring 2009. Thus, being closer to a 3-year-cycle than to a 2-year. Maybe the decision about SLES 11 and the code base for it hasn't been made yet, but I would like to know what's the general plan for the future. Will Novell try to keep the 2-year release cycle for SLES? If not, we must consider switching to sth. else :-( 2 years is already hard for servers that we use for software development, webservices and things like that. The repositories make it possible to stay with one SLES for 2 years, but after that we need a fresh, up-to-date installation with all the lastest tomcat stuff etc. (and yes, Crispin, of course I'm also worrying about our "SLES for servers, same SuSE codebase for clients" setup that we discussed once in the past ;-) Although I'm able to work around this now with a combined SLES+SLED installation :-)) cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform.
