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

by Chuck Payne 09 Nov '15

09 Nov '15

Hi, I am trying to set up a simple repo, I read on the opensuse site about a binary called genIS_PLAINcache, because I can't see to find it or the package yast2-packmanager either. Can someone help. 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.

[opensuse] KDE3
by Jon Cosby 05 Jun '11

05 Jun '11

Hey, for all of you KDE3 hold outs, someone's finally taking the initiative to fork it to a new project: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/ So far, they're only maintaining .deb packages for Ubuntu, but if you want to see KDE3 live on, it might be worth starting a project on the OBS.

[opensuse] openSUSE 11.3 2.6.34.7-0.2-xen no boot possible
by Thorolf Godawa 25 Jan '11

25 Jan '11

Hi, I have done a fresh openSUSE 11.3 (32bit) install on a Lenovo ThinkCentre M58p 6234-1AG (C2D E8400, Q45 Express, GMA 4500, 82567LM-3). First problem was, that the network card was not recognized, I had to build in a second one. Fortunately after updating the system and a reboot, also the 82567LM-3 was working. With the normal Kernel 2.6.34.7-0.2-desktop the system works, but if I try to but with the Xen-Kernel 2.6.34.7-0.2-xen, the boot begins, but suddenly stops in a very early state. The last messages I see are: Doing fast boot Creating ... Then the screen goes blank and finaly in sleep mode. To reboot I have to power off and then power on again the system :-( In the Grub-menu.lst originally I had: ###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: xen### title Xen -- openSUSE 11.3 - 2.6.34.7-0.2 root (hd0,0) kernel /xen.gz vgamode=0x317 vgamode=0x317 module /vmlinuz-2.6.34.7-0.2-xen root=/dev/...part6 resume=/dev /...part2 splash=silent quiet showopts vga=0x317 module /initrd-2.6.34.7-0.2-xen I already tried to remove the second "vgamode"-entry, finaly all "vgamode" and "vga"-options and set "splash=0" but this did not helped, "nomodeset" is not doing anything too (I think it's only for Nvidia). Any other idea? Thanks a lot. -- Chau y hasta luego, tg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Patch management for OpenSUSE
by Ivan De Masi 17 Jan '11

17 Jan '11

Hello, I am wondering since some time how others cope with patch management on OpenSUSE Clients, when you have a bunch of PCs in a network. Somebody who can recommend a open source tool to cover the basics (e.g. a tool automating updates with zypper over ssh or something similar)? Thanks!

[opensuse] WPA failure in OpenSuse, but not xandros
by Myrosia Dzikovska 20 Nov '10

20 Nov '10

I have a Dell Latitude D430, with Intel Wireless PRO 3945ABG, using iwl3945 driver with network manager for my wireless connection. I am experiencing intermittent wireless connection failures on OpenSuse. My home router is set to use WPA. From time to time, my laptop stops seeing the wireless access point, and when I attempt to connect manually, I see several repeats of the message below in the system logs: --------------------- wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:14:7f:22:d1:5c wlan0: authenticated wlan0: associate with AP 00:14:7f:22:d1:5c wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:14:7f:22:d1:5c (capab=0x411 status=0 aid=1) wlan0: associated wlan0: disassociating by local choice (reason=3) --------------- I also have an Asus EEEPC 901 with a default Xandros distribution. It always connects without problems. Moreover, once I get the EEEPC to connect, my opensuse machine is also able to connect to the same router on my next attempt. It looks to be something distribution (or driver version) specific, but I am not sure how to debug it further. There is an iwl3945 bug filed on Novell bugzilla, but it does not appear to be the same one, it has a different error message as a symptom (and I am running fully updated anyway, so presumably should have the fix already). What can I do to debug this? Myrosia Myrosia -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
