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] protocol not supported bluetooth

by Martin Mielke

Hi all, Version 4.3.00 (KDE 4.3.0) "release 155" running fine. When I execute kbluetooth I get the following error message after clicking on the systray icon: "protocol not supported bluetooth" ...when I click on "OK", Konqueror launches but nothing happens. However, I can discover devices with "hcitool scan" or even using "kbluemon"... and that's it. I've been reading some threads and it seemed to be a bug on previous KDE versions... which is odd because it was working like a charm under SuSE 10.3 Am I missing something here? -- # /etc/init.d/bluetooth status Checking service bluetooth (enabled) : hcid (activated) running hid2hci (activated) opd unused rfcomm (activated) pand unused dund unused # rpm -qa | grep blue bluez-utils-3.32-8.7 bluez-firmware-1.2-99.1 bluez-audio-3.32-8.7 kdebluetooth-1.0_beta8-109.1 bluez-libs-3.32-3.2 -- TIA, Martin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] What is wrong with my NX server?

by Joop Beris

Hello listmates, I have recently installed NX server, after switching to openSUSE 11.1. However, I can't seem to log in. It used to work beautifully on openSUSE 10.3. What I did is the following: - First of all, to install the NX server, I added the following repository: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/RemoteDesktop/openSUSE_11.1/ >From that This resulted in the following packages being installed: - FreeNX - NX - freenx-client - libnxcl1 - After that, I ran nxsetup, which completed without errors. On the client, I installed version 3.3.0-6 of the NX Client for Linux from NoMachine. I chose this client because in the past, I have had bad experiences with the FreenNX client. The NoMachine client has always worked well for me. - Trying with the QtNX client, the client simply seems to freeze, without doing anything after starting the connection. - Up launching the NX client and entering the connection details, I start the connection. This takes a while, after which the client responds with: "Session startup failed". In the detail window, it says a lot more: NX> 105 /usr/bin/nxserver: line 1371: 13828 Terminated sleep $AGENT_STARTUP_TIMEOUT NX> 596 Session startup failed. NX> 1004 Error: NX Agent exited with exit status 1. To troubleshoot set SESSION_LOG_CLEAN=0 in node.conf and investigate "/home/<user>/.nx/F-C-<hostname>-1000-8689F93F7362B387803D3B292867F08C/session". You might also want to try: ssh -X myserver; /usr/bin/nxnode --agent to test the basic functionality. Session log follows: Can't open /var/lib/nxserver/db/running/sessionId{8689F93F7362B387803D3B292867F08C}: No such file or directory. mv: cannot stat `/var/lib/nxserver/db/running/sessionId{8689F93F7362B387803D3B292867F08C}'NX> 1006 Session status: closed : No such file or directory NX> 280 Exiting on signal: 15 FOllowing the troubleshooting advice above, I have set SESSION_LOG_CLEAN=0 in /etc/nxserver/node.conf I also tried the command "ssh -X myserver; /usr/bin/nxnode --agent" to test the basic connection from the client. This gives me the following error on the console: NX> 1000 NXNODE - Version 2.1.0-72 OS (GPL, using backend: 3.2.0) NX> 716 Starting NX Agent ... Error: Aborting session with 'Server is already active for display 0 If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock and start again'. Session: Aborting session at 'Thu Jun 4 11:07:26 2009'. Session: Session aborted at 'Thu Jun 4 11:07:26 2009'. NX> 716 NX Agent exited with status: 1 NX> 1001 Bye. I find this odd, since to me this seems to be a problem with X authorization, not something to do with NX. I have confirmed that while X (KDE) is running, no one is logged into the machine at this point. I have also investigated /home/<user>/.nx/F-C-<hostname>-1000-8689F93F7362B387803D3B292867F08C/session, to see if there is some more information there. There, it lists the following: NXAGENT - Version 3.2.0 Copyright (C) 2001, 2007 NoMachine. See http://www.nomachine.com/ for more information. Info: Agent running with pid '15613'. Session: Starting session at 'Thu Jun 4 11:14:43 2009'. Info: Proxy running in server mode with pid '15613'. Info: Waiting for connection from '127.0.0.1' on port '5000'. Info: Aborting the procedure due to signal '15'. Error: Aborting session with 'Unable to open display 'nx/nx,options=/home/<user>/.nx/C-<hostname>-1000-8689F93F7362B387803D3B292867F08C/options:1000''. Session: Aborting session at 'Thu Jun 4 11:14:43 2009'. Session: Session aborted at 'Thu Jun 4 11:14:43 2009'. I enabled logging in /etc/nxserver/node.conf, and the same information is logged there. I am a bit stumped as to what to try now. Does anyone have any suggestions, please? I'll be grateful for any help or tips which help me solve this.

It is eminently fair and for the most part, accurate. I think any inaccuracies could be attributable to unfamiliarity rather than bias.

Hi Mike, I have the same microdia webcam. It is one of the webcams which is difficult to get working. In 10.3 and 11.0 I had it working with luvcview and mplayer but after a hard disc breakdown and a new install I am as far as you at the moment. There is a Microdia group but they have given up working on the SN9C120 camera's. I am still trying to find out how to get it working and will keep you informed. -- 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

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

I haven't tried the openSuSE Avantfax, but I will on the next install. Avantfax/HylaFAX combination is the greatest thing since sliced bread for faxing. Glad to know SuSE has the rpm available. Let me know if you want anyone to test the new hylafax before you release it. I'm happy to do it. Right now, be aware we are trouble-shooting an openSuSE problem with the hylafax getaddrinfo call in hylafax-6.0.3/hfaxd/InetFaxServer.c++ file at the moment. Hopefully it will be resolved soon. You can see the result of the latest troubleshooting by applying the following patch: diff --git a/hfaxd/InetFaxServer.c++ b/hfaxd/InetFaxServer.c++ index 420a1e9..dfa9910 100644 --- a/hfaxd/InetFaxServer.c++ +++ b/hfaxd/InetFaxServer.c++ @@ -71,7 +71,8 @@ InetSuperServer::startServer(void) if (pp) hints.ai_protocol = pp->p_proto; - if (getaddrinfo(bindaddress, port, &hints, &ai) == 0) { + int gaie = getaddrinfo(bindaddress, port, &hints, &ai); + if (gaie == 0) { memcpy(&addr, ai->ai_addr, ai->ai_addrlen); freeaddrinfo(ai); /* @@ -81,8 +82,8 @@ InetSuperServer::startServer(void) if (! bindaddress) memset(Socket::addr(addr), 0, Socket::addrlen(addr)); } else { - logDebug("Couldn't get address information for port \"%s\"", - (const char*) port); + logDebug("Couldn't get address information for port \"%s\": %d", + (const char*) port, gaie); /* * Somethings broken here, let's pick some conservative defaults */ The value for gai error code being returned on openSuSE is "-2" not good, so there are problem binding to the initial port that cause reams of debug info in the logs.
