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

HP Laser 1020

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] 11.1 on a thinkpad T500
by jef peeraer 21 Sep '09

21 Sep '09

installed it yesterday on my brand new thinkpad, and most of the basic stuff seems to be working : tested the wired/wireless connection :ok. can write DVD's, sound is ok, hibernation and sleep : ok , sdcard reader : ok, and last but not least, video graphics, weel that's a special case with this laptop, it includes 2 graphic controller : 1 discrete, the ati hd3650 and am integrated controller , intel mobile GM45 express chipset. i knew i wasn't going to get this switchable graphics thing in order... by default, the installation chooses the intel chipset. which works ok, but doesn't give you the power of the ATI. i changed the bios setting to discrete graphics ( swichable off ). when booted into command line, i could run sax and it installed the correct ATI drivers. but the next reboot set me back to the intel chipset, and indeed the bios was back to switchable graphics enabled ? jef peeraer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] kde4 konqueror will not connect via proxy
by lynn 10 Sep '09

10 Sep '09

The proxy works for firefox but not for konq in 11.0 kde 4. I've tested the proxy via yast and it works fine. Also, other browsers recognise it. Bug? I'm using squid on a 10.3 server with 11.0 and KDE4 Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Annoying Desktop behaviour of Programmes
by LLLActive＠GMX.Net 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

Hi all, what is beginning to be quite annoying is working with different Desktops. I have different working groups organised on a desktop each. I often have OpenOffice Writer, Calc and Firefox open on various desktops. When I open up a link on Desktop 1 in Thunderbird, a window opens on the latest FireFox I used prevously; the one on the other desktop I used last. I have to hunt down in which desktop it opened by going to each desktop and activate it. This also happens when I open an OpenOffice document or calc file with konqueror. Closing all apps on the desktops before going to another desktop defeats the purpose of having different desktops - or have I missed the rational behind different desktops. Is it a bug or a feature? :-( All -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

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 06 Apr '09

06 Apr '09

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
