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

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.

Hi,
I have finally gotten around to installing openSUSE 11.3 on a PC I have.
However, I have made two complete attempts and several "fix it" attempts
on the first failed attempt and have yet to get a successful install.
The installs both failed with the "fetchmsttfonts" failing and resulting
in a "YaST2 Error Command exited with status 5" error popup with an "OK"
button on it. I am looking for some way to proceed from here without
having to restart the install from scratch again and to have to select
all the needed packages yet another time. More background follows.
The first time thru, I saw the "OK" and clicked it before reading
anything else and the installer aborted back to text mode. I tried
running the install again as an upgrade install, hoping that would fix
it, but, instead, first got a system that only booted to runlevel 3 and
was mostly unconfigured (I could not log in at all even though I'd set a
user account and a root password!). Subsequent upgrade install attempts
resulted in the installer recommending the deletion of several hundred
packages, increasing in number each time I ran it(!).
I did another install attempt from scratch, this time using the
netinstall CD and selecting the oss, non-oss, and update repos (the
first install attempt had been made from the install DVD with the
addition of the Addon-NonOss-BiArch and AddonLang CDs as well as the
three netinstall URIs above). Again, the install failed. This time I
read the entire screen and have not yet clicked the "OK" button.
I logged in to the system from one of the available text mode consoles
and noticed that the system is still mostly unconfigured.
What should be my next move from here? Is it possible to rescue this
install? If not, is there a way to obtain a copy of the package list
and import it into a new, fresh install so I don't have to go thru all
the packages looking for the ones I need (a time consuming and tedious
process for me).
I found the y2log and the zypp/history log files which contain millions
of lines of status between them and which appear to contain all of the
packages selected. However, I was not able to locate a simple package
list anywhere. If there is not list, anyone know the required format so
I could possibly format, e.g., the zypp/history log contents into a
suitable file?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
--Phil

Guys,
This is somewhat comical behavior. When you start kcolorchooser, the
screen is dimmed (the same way it gets dimmed when you choose shutdown) making
it impossible to 'choose' a color from the screen with kcolorchooser. I know
this is probably a setting somewhere that causes this to happen. None of the
other apps dim the screen when I launch them.
Thus the irony -- "kde4 kcolorchooser can't choose a color from the
screen" because it dimmed the darn thing when it launched.
Where is the mysterious setting that will fix this?

Hello,
I tried to install opensuse11.3 behind a firewall. The installer for older
releases used to offer the possibility to deactivate automatic configuration
(directly after accepting the license). When this option was checked, it was
possible to configure the proxy (and hostname and more things) before the
online-update was run. This "deactivate automatic configuration" button
seems no longer to exist.
So, how am I supposed to configure the proxy before running the online
update without this option?
BTW: Older releases used to offer a shell on virtual terminals. This was
convenient in the case of problems. This also don't seem to be
available any longer. Why?

Hi,
I have OpenSUSE 11.3 with a system that hangs when run in Normal Kernel mode;
does not hang in Failsafe mode. In trying to fix that problem I booted with
the Kernel with the option nomodeset. As of that boot and another KDE will not
run from the KDM4 display manager.
I am really stuck with this machine and openSUSE.
Help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

I've installed a new RAID array in my home server and the disks are
using 4KB sectors instead of the traditional 512 byte sectors.
How do I properly align the partitions to this disk? YaST partitioner
shows "cylinders" and I can not come up with a formula to convert
cylinders to sectors. My understanding is since 8 x 512 = 4096 (4kb)
all I need to do is ensure that my partitions are aligned to multiples
of 8 sectors.

I've installed suse and Windows xp on my wife's new computer; she's not
very confident of her ability to deal with computers, and she has to use
xp for work, so she insists on her xp at home.
I find that ext2fs doesn't work any more because suse, like most (all?)
other distributions has gone to 256-byte inodes rather than the original
128-byte inodes, and to get back to the old structure means backing up
my entire 150G home partition and reformatting it.
But ntfs-3g, which ships with suse, claims to read and write to ntfs
partitions, but writing is disabled by default because it's "unsafe".
I've installed ntfs-config, but haven't had the courage to use it
because in the course of finding out why I could no longer use ext2fs
(which I've used in the past), I ran across several statements that
writing under ntfs-3g could corrupt ntfs partitions, and that's why it's
disabled by default. But the most recent of these statements is two
years old in an ubuntu forum archive.
Is ntfs-3g still risky? I'd really like to use it to put information
into my xp account so when my wife preempts her computer (struggling
with xen, unfortunately), and when I need engineering resources not
available under linux, I don't have to juggle flashdrives and such.
