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] Very good KDE4 wiki article
by C 20 Nov '11

20 Nov '11

I thought this was a very well written synopsis of KDE4 and its features, and worth sharing here: http://chakra-project.org/wiki/index.php/Advanced_Plasma_Desktop_Features The part explaining Virtual Desktops and Activities is pretty good, and goes a long way towards explaining why they are interesting and why you might want to use them.

[opensuse] graphics tablet hotplug
by lynn 15 Nov '11

15 Nov '11

Hi. We have 3 graphics tablets to share between 18 of us. If the tablet is plugged in when the user logs in from the kde login screen the tablet works fine. If it is then removed and the plugged into another client on the lan, the user has to login and log out to make the tablet work. A pain. Is there a way to make it work without having to log out and then back in again? lynn@hh1:~> uname -r 2.6.37.6-0.7-desktop lynn@hh1:~> lsusb Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 001 Device 002: ID 13fe:3100 Kingston Technology Company Inc. 2 GB USB stick Bus 001 Device 003: ID 058f:6362 Alcor Micro Corp.

[opensuse] Can I ask something...?
by Linux Tyro 09 Nov '11

09 Nov '11

Hi, Yes, I am very new here and beginner in Linux too. Can I suggest/ask something regarding openSUSE...? I consider it good to ask first for it since openSUSE says it is an open project, so I am asking. -- Thx. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] samba authentication
by lynn 05 Nov '11

05 Nov '11

Hi 11.4 I've set up a samba server using Yast. It works. I can see the home shares on a linux client and I get asked for a username and password when I click the 'homes' share e.g. from Dolphin by clicking network and then samba. That's _almost_ what I want. What I want it to do is use samba to authenticate linux clients like I do with NIS at the moment. There are no users apart from root on the clients and /home on the server is mounted as /home on the clients by NFS. The kde login screen on the client displays all the users on the server. Using yast windows domain membership on a client I cannot check the box 'Use SMB information for Linux Authentication'. I get the error: 'Cannot use the workgroup 'hh1' for Linux authentication.'. All linux users on the server have been given samba passwords and I have tried the server and client with firewall enabled and disabled. My question is: can samba do what NIS/NFS does at the moment? Thanks. L x here is /etc/samba/smb.conf from the server: # smb.conf is the main Samba configuration file.
