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

Shell commands:
xset fp+ <new font directory>
xset fp rehash

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.

I thought I had solved the KMail problem, but it's back. I give up!
I have installed Thunderbird, and will use that, even tho I liked
KMail better.
Does anybody know how to add a "sig" in T-Bird? I had to add the one
below by hand.

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!
Regards,
Ivan

SuSE 11.2, KDE 4.3.5
I did a fresh install of SuSE 11.2 a few weeks ago and have been banging
my head against walls since. I am experiencing text entry problems.
1. TAB key acts strange sometimes.
- In konsole (2.3.1), sometimes tabbing to complete a command
does nothing, other times it works like I am used to
(displaying a list of possible completions).
When tab completion works, the typed characters are
displayed as normal black
characters on white background. When it doesn't work,
the character colors are reversed.
When not working properly, if I type and extra space ' '
character, and then backspace
one character, then tab completion works. One really
odd thing is that I can run several
instances of konsole, and tab completion will work on
some and not on others.
- In gnumeric (1.9.13), tab sometimes will not go to the
next field unless an extra space is typed at
the end of the field data. Having to type an extra ' '
space character is a recurring theme here.
- In gnucash (2.2.9) tab acts the same as in gnucash. In
both cases, this never happened in 11.1.
- In firefox (3.5.9) tab "sometimes" acts the same as
gnucash and gnumeric (above). Also, getting
firefox to list possible URL connections from history
sometimes requires hitting the ' ' space key.
At other times, firefox will display possible
completions, but will not tab select them until a space
key is pressed. The same behaviors occur in common
drop box screens, such as google's search
text entry; again a seemingly random behavior.
These problems show in many other app's.
2. Spell check and text entry is strange:
- In abiword (2.6.8), thunderbird (3.0.4) and emacs
(23.1.1) there are several strange things
"SOMETIMES" strings are not echoed from the app, but
are instead displayed in a small text box that
pops up somewhere on the monitor. The text box
appears for each string and goes away after
the string is completed. "As you type" spell checking
is not performed. This problem is really
annoying.
"SOMETIMES" the strings are displayed on the app while
typing, but spell check is not performed
until after the string is completed.
SOMETIMES "as you type" spell checking works as in
previous versions of the OS. The string
is underlined as soon as it doesn't match anything
in the dictionary.
I've tried to google these problems, but the search strings are so
common that there are way too hits to be of use. I'm sure these aren't
really random happenings, but I haven't been able to see a pattern yet.
Any help?
TIA
Jim

Since four version of kernels I run it in zypp.conf with
"multiversion=provides:multiversion(kernel).
That gives me a full functioning kernel with updates which will have a look at
all kernels. At this moment I have for kernels from which to choose and I think
it is time to delete some of them. How could I do that with zypper?

Hello listmembers,
Recently I installed KDE4.5 onto my 11.2, by following opensSUSE
guidance and I've been very well impressed of this new DE release.
Now if I try a zypper ref; zypper up, then I notice several KDE packages
available but since they come from different vendor (OBS instead of
openSUSE) they went no installed.
In these cases I know, I should limit the repos to "dup" with --repo, or
--from switch, but wonder if doing so then I risk to broke something.
TKS,

Hello,
I'm hoping that some kind soul can help me diagnose what's going on here, or
at least point me to another resource.
Several weeks ago, I upgraded (first via zypper dup, then with a re-install)
from 11.2 to 11.3 on a system with the above mobo. Since then, I've
encountered all kinds of difficulties that I now believe to all be ACPI
related. Note the the system had been very stable running 11.2, but I wanted
the new Xorg driver for my ATI 4350 card so that I could take advantage of the
accelerated driver and associated eye candy.
Initially, I noticed network problems, and kernel messages in
/var/log/messages with CPU#n suck messages. I've attached a snippet below.
Aug 13 13:30:02 faramir kernel: [ 4331.903317] BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck
for 139s! [swapper:0]
I eventually noticed that *most* these included the rtl8169 in the call stack.
After some Googling, with no luck, I picked up a used Intel 82545GM from eBay
to replace the built-in RealTek - it's a better chipset anyway, right?
Well, after this, the above error traces went away, but not all of the bad
behaviors. Remaining were the very long boot times (10 minutes) and random
system hangs (5-30 seconds). I discovered that any keypress (i.e Num-Lock)
would "unstick" the system, I surmised by generating an interrupt.
Since then, I've been trying to play with combinations of ACPI=xx APM=xxx and
pci=noacpi. After many experiments, I've the only combination that I could
find that would make my system run well is "apm=off pci=noacpi acpi=off" -- in
particular, "acpi=off". I've tried other ACPI options, but, at least so far,
to no avail.
The main downside that I've discovered to "acpi=off" is that my 4 CPU cores
(AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 925 Processor) are pegged at 2812.342 MHz, with my CPU
fan running full-tilt to keep 'em cool.
I've also attached the output of 'lspci' and 'dmidecode'. Let me know if
there's anything else that I can provide, as well.
Just for the record, I'm certainly *not* a newbie, and I'm willing to
experiment and/or debug.
Thanks in advance,
-Nick
