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

Hi, I am trying to set up a simple repo, I read on the opensuse site about a binary called genIS_PLAINcache, because I can't see to find it or the package yast2-packmanager either. Can someone help. 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] 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] Detected scanner, proper driver, won't scan
by Stan Goodman 08 Mar '11

08 Mar '11

The scanner is Epson 640U, in recently installed oS v11.3. YaST > Scanners finds it. scanimage -L and scanimage -T don't. Attemps to scan produce "Failed to start scanner. Invalid argument", which is not very informative. A review of a number of Google hits doesn't add more. I am assuming (hoping) that I have left something undone, but have not found anything to point me to it.

[opensuse] 11.1 Repositories
by Mark Misulich 03 Mar '11

03 Mar '11

Hi, it looks like Opensuse 11.1 is starting to go away to die of old age. Unfortunately I have to keep using it on this laptop, as Opensuse 11.2 & 3 don't turn on the cooling fans to keep the laptop from overheating. Only 11.1 works. I have addressed this issue with Novel via bugzilla, but they haven't provided any solution. I have found that the repos are slowly going away for updates. I removed the repos for Education OpenOffice Wine devel:languages Perl as they don't exist anymore for 11.1. Does anyone know where I may find these repos now?

[opensuse] How increase ROOT size using GParted?
by Mike 01 Mar '11

01 Mar '11

OpenSUSE 11.3 ROOT located on /dev/sdb6 with 3.0MB free (not good!) I want to increase /dev/sdb6, obviously. I booted to GParted and decreased the space on my OVERFLOW which is /dev/sdb8. The space is now unallocated with 1.46GiB but I cannot increase the size of /dev/sdb6. I also have 5.94GB unallocated on the same drive. /dev/sdb1 = ntfs 46.20 GB (I dual-boot, don't hate) (unallocated space shows here in GParted) - I formatted this before and it shows as /dev/sdb4 /dev/sdb3 = ext4 /dev/sdb2 = an extended partition /dev/sdb5 = linux-swap (SWAP1) /dev/sdb6 = ext4 (ROOT1) /dev/sdb7 = ext4 (HOME) /dev/sdb8 = ext4 (NEWSYS) (unallocated space shows here in GParted) How can I use the unallocated space to increase the space on /dev/sdb6? I also have /dev/sda1, sda2, sda3 with a lot of free space but I believe I cannot use it because it is on sda... Thank you for any help you can provide. ~ Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
