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

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] 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] Akonadi problem
by 911 17 Aug '10

17 Aug '10

Hello SuSE people, Recently upgraded to KDE4.4 andI now receive the following message: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nepomuk Indexing Agents Have Been Disabled The Nepomuk service is not available or fully operational and attempts to rectify this have failed. Therefore indexing of all data stored in the Akonadi PIM service has been disabled, which will severely limit the capabilities of any application using this data. The following problems were detected: Nepomuk is not running. --------------------------------------------------------------------- OK, remember stuff on this list talking about Akonadi/Nepomuk but can't recall or find what it is about. There was a solution. Just don't know what it was about. Please remind me.

[opensuse] Update to 11.2 breaks WLAN/WIFI with ipw2100
by Stefan Quandt 29 Jul '10

29 Jul '10

Since updating my system to 11.2 WLAN is broken in that knetworkmanager lists all reachable access points but connecting is not possible, even if I switch my router (and connection settings) to unencrypted. Since knetworkmanager shows all access points and their signal strength I'm sure my WLAN hardware is not broken. Now I switched with yast2 to traditional (ifup) based network setup. This did not change anything: Still ethernet based connection works, but 'ifup eth1' (for WLAN) fails on getting an IP address: Starting DHCP4 client on eth1. . . . . . . eth1 DHCP4 continues in background It is still possible to list access points with "Netzwerk durchsuchen" on a page of the 'yast2 lan' configuration module. The only single visible difference is a polling action which starts immediately after switching to traditional setup (which shows up my /var/log/messages because of my ipw2100 module debug flags): Jan 23 14:56:44 host ifup: eth1 device: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter (rev 04) Jan 23 14:56:44 host ifup: eth1 Startmode is 'manual' Jan 23 14:56:44 host ifup: vboxnet0 Jan 23 14:56:44 host ifup: No configuration found for vboxnet0 Jan 23 14:56:44 host kernel: [17505.185248] ipw2100: U ipw2100_wx_get_name Name: unassociated Jan 23 14:56:44 host kernel: [17505.185260] ipw2100: U ipw2100_wx_get_freq GET Freq/Channel -> 0 Jan 23 14:56:44 host kernel: [17505.185278] ipw2100: U ipw2100_wx_get_essid Getting essid: ANY Jan 23 14:56:44 host kernel: [17505.185284] ipw2100: U ipw2100_wx_get_mode GET Mode -> 2 Jan 23 14:56:44 host kernel: [17505.185296] ipw2100: U ipw2100_wx_get_name Name: unassociated Jan 23 14:56:44 host kernel: [17505.185303] ipw2100: U ipw2100_wx_get_freq GET Freq/Channel -> 0 Jan 23 14:56:44 host kernel: [17505.185312] ipw2100: U ipw2100_wx_get_essid Getting essid: ANY Jan 23 14:56:44 host kernel: [17505.185318] ipw2100: U ipw2100_wx_get_mode GET Mode -> 2 Jan 23 14:56:44 host kernel: [17505.185331] ipw2100: U ipw2100_wx_get_range GET Range Jan 23 14:56:44 host kernel: [17505.185353] ipw2100: U ipw2100_wx_get_wap Getting WAP BSSID: 00:00:00:00:00:00 The 'unassociated' messages repeat every second.

[opensuse] HP only prints on HP paper
by lynn 25 Jul '10

25 Jul '10

I have a deskjet F2280. Normal photocopy paper works fine. To get high quality prints, I have to use HP paper. It will not feed any other (I have tried kodak and epson which I'd like to use). Printer setup by yast. OS 11.2 with KDE 3.4.5 Is there any way I can fool it into thinking it's HP paper?

[opensuse] KDE defaults after upgrade from 10.3 to 11.2
by Roger Oberholtzer 18 Jun '10

18 Jun '10

I did an update of a 10.3 system to openSUSE 11.2. I used the 11.2 DVD to do this (not zypper). As part of the update, I let the updater add the on-line 11.2 updates. No KDE repos are added. Just the 11.2 update that the install adds. For the most part all went well. Except that the desktop looks crappy, even for a user created after the update was completed. The most obvious problem is that the panel at the bottom is black, and the text on it black. Or, when leaving the desktop, the window is black with black text. ICONS are OK. There is something that is obviously not to plan. I also tried deleting the $HOME/.kde and $HOME/.kde4 directories, hoping that they would be better when the user logs in again. Nope. Same badness. Maybe this is not enough to remove to force regeneration of the user settings? Oddly, the root user has a correct appearance. No other user. I am guessing that when the system was updated, the default settings that a KDE user should get have not been properly updated. I do not know where to look for this, if that is even what it is. I am guessing that I could fiddle with a user's settings and get it looking good again. However, this is not really an option for this machine. We are trying to see how well it works to let users log with Windows Active Directory verification (which works so very nicely!). I would have to do this for each user after they create their login. Umm, no... I did follow many of the discussions about settings problems in kde 4. Most of those seemed to be about messing up old settings, and seemed to be more of an issue in older KDE 4 releases. I sort of thought the KDE in the 11.2 update directory had most of this sorted out. I use it on my 11.2-from-the-beginning system and have no complaints. I am guessing the damage was done in the initial KDE install in the 11.2 upgrade. But I might be wrong.
