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

[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] Text entry trouble
by Jim Sabatke 16 Nov '10

16 Nov '10

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?

[opensuse] zypper and multiversion(kernel)
by C. Brouerius van Nidek 13 Nov '10

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? -- Linux User 183145 using LXDE on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 11.3 (i586) Kernel: 2.6.35.1-3.2-default LXDE WM & KDE Development Platform: 4.5.00 (KDE 4.5.0) 21:02pm up 4:03, 2 users, load average: 0.48, 0.77, 0.88 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
