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

[opensuse] KDE3

by Jon Cosby

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

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

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] What is the proper entry for /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1?

by David C. Rankin

Guys, What is the proper entry for 127.0.0.1 in /etc/hosts? I have seen discussion that 127.0.0.2 is deprecated so that leaves a problem with dnsdomainname if you remove the 127.0.0.2 entry and leave the 127.0.0.1 entry as: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost yourRealHostname In this situation, dnsdomainname resolves to localdomain: 15:39 phoenix:~> dnsdomainname localdomain Setting the entry as: 127.0.0.1 localhost.youReadDomainName.com localhost yourRealHostname fixes the return of dnsdomainname, but does not having localdomain cause problems as well? What say the gurus? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
