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

by Chuck Payne 09 Nov '15

09 Nov '15

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] DenyHosts daemon mode on openSUSE 11.3
by LLLActive＠GMX.Net 23 Jan '15

23 Jan '15

Hi, I am trying to run DenyHosts on OS 11.3. I can get it to sync and update the hosts.deny file, but with "rcdenyhosts status" it reports as being "unused" just after I started it with "rcdenyhosts start". I tried also with yast, setting up as a service (daemon) and starting it. It also stops immediately. In the denyhosts.log file there is no error info, just what it used to set it up at start. I've gone through the configs several times, no joy. Anyone got DenyHosts running properly? :-/ Dreiel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Offline Update of SuSE ?
by Peter Maffter 13 Feb '12

13 Feb '12

Once there were Patch CDs for offline Update of OpenSuSE. I was not able to find them on internet. I need the latest 64Bit rpm files for OpenSuSE 11.3 update (and later I'll try 11.4 and 12.1). Either for download via ftp (or wget) or as Patch CD/DVD. Thanks in advance. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Is there a leak?
by Mark Misulich 23 Jan '12

23 Jan '12

Hi, I watched a video on YouTube the other night. When I was through watching it I emailed the url to a friend of mine via my isp's email. The email isn't connected to Yahoo or Google in any way. The next day I received emails from Yahoo with the urls of the video that I watched, plus others in the series. I also found out that I was signed up for a yahoo group that pertained to the video, all without my knowledge. Is there some kind of security leak in Opensuse 12.1 or Thunderbird that would allow this to happen? Maybe everyone else on the list knows why this is, but I am very surprised by it and don't understand why it happened. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 11.4, problem with printer install
by C. Brouerius van Nidek 16 Jan '12

16 Jan '12

After the repair of my trusty HP DeskJet 400 I was planning to install that printer again on my opensuse 11.4. Much to my chagrin, the install with cups or via yast did not find the driver for this printer. Googgling brought some information why this printer has some difficulties. The HPlip from Hewlett and Packard does not include this printer. But generally it was mentioned that Gutenprint should have the driver. Gutenprint is installed. The printer not detected. I found some sites where the pdd file for this printer was offered. The result of the download showed a .bin file. Somewhere it was mentioned to rename the bin file into a ppd file which I did. Still no recognition of the printer.The Printer is found by cups oas HP Deskjet 400 on USB://HP/Deskjet%20400 Is there some mistake in the addressing? What else should I do to get the printer running?

[opensuse] KDE crashing bug not fixed in openSUSE
by Karl Ove Hufthammer 07 Jan '12

07 Jan '12

I get hit by the following crashing bug almost every time I log out: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=275286 I usually just click ‘Close’ and be done with it, but this I decided to let DrKonqi figure out if it was a known bug. And it turned out to be *very* well known, with tons of duplicate reports. And apparently fixed. But not in openSUSE. One of the more recent comments in the bug is: There is no need for intermediate fixes as this has been properly fixed for a while by now, just look at the bug status. For some reason the fix doesn't get shoved to the distros, therefore we still see bug reports from Ubuntu and SuSe. It feels like distros want to display KDE in the worst possible light (and KDE doesn't miss a chance to help them). So my question is *why* doesn’t a bug like this get into openSUSE? (This is not meant as a rhetorical question; I’m genuinely interested in the answer.) -- Karl Ove Hufthammer E-mail: karl(a)huftis.org Jabber: huftis(a)jabber.no -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
