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

I am setting this repo up for SLE9, I have tried to use createrepo but I keeping getting errors. -- ---------------------------------------- When a place gets crowded enough to require ID's, social collapse is not far away.

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

11.2 yast sw management keeps segfaulting when you press "Accept"

by David C. Rankin

Dev, guys, Any body else seeing yast software management crash after you have selected packages, are all done, and then you press "Accept"? There is nothing more frustrating than spending 1/2 hour picking through individual packages to get the setup you need -- only to press the final button and receive the dialog: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error' what(): locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid YaST got signal 6 at YCP file String.ycp:128 /sbin/yast2: line 454: 12764 Aborted $ybindir/y2base $module "$@" "$SELECTED_GUI" $Y2_GEOMETRY $Y2UI_ARGS (process:12934): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale. I don't have time to bug it right now, but if you want a look at the y2_logs they are here: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_bugs/112/y2logs.tgz Also, when I ssh into any box from 11.2, I get: "/usr/bin/manpath: can't set the locale; make sure $LC_* and $LANG are correct" I don't know if this is related, but I don't know how to fix it? -- David C.

Pre-ordering a boxed set

by Mark Hounschell

At http://www.open-slx.com/doku.php you supposedly can order a boxed set of 11.2. When you go to preorder it I get This item cannot be shipped to the address you selected. Is this an amazon.co.uk mistake or something more sinister?? Yes my address was entered correctly.

Installing Virtual Box on 11.2

by Basil Chupin

I just had a look at the instructions at http://en.opensuse.org/VirtualBox_Installation but they refer to earlier versions of openSUSE. Are the instructions shown at this URL still relevant to 11.2 (and its kernel)? I have a set of instructions produced by Alexei Eremenko back on 18-05-2007 - and the same question also applies to these: are they out-of-date or still current? Glad to get any advice on this, thanks.

openSUSE 11.2 YaST - Add Software Repository

by ykyuen

Dear all, i have followed the instruction at http://en.opensuse.org/Creating_YaST_Installation_Sources Creating_YaST_Installation_Sources and created a repomd/rpm md/YUM Sources using the createrepo command. the repo url is http://192.168.137.128/suse_repo/ but when i try to add this repo in the YaST - Software Repositories, there is always a connection time out. (But i can access the repo thru browser so i think that should not be a network problem). and i found that it try to get the ~/media.1/products from my repo. but according to http://en.opensuse.org/Creating_YaST_Installation_Sources Creating_YaST_Installation_Sources , my repo is NOT a "real" YaST repository. and seems the YaST does not know that is a repomd/rpm md/YUM Sources. How could i solve the problem. Thanks.
