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.

After all the problems with 11.4 and 11.3 on my ThinkPad, I've decided
to blow it all away and revert to 11.0. At least that worked well.
Problems:
11.4 - unable to use KDE, as system locked up and display faded
11.3, unreliable USB detection. Why no "Safely remove" option? Display
often shifted about 1/2" to right, but mouse didn't. Poorer
performance. General frustration with KDE 4.
As I've often pointed out, since I first saw KDE 4, a few years ago, it
needs a lot of work to be anywhere near as useful as 3.5
It would be *VERY* nice if support were resumed for 11.0, which would
appear to be the last decent openSUSE distro. My experiences with KDE 4
are almost enough to send me back to Windows! What a piece of crap!!!

click on http://opensuse-community.org/ati.ymp and the it adds the
correct mirrors. but not on this new machine, if i do that i'll lost X
forever, will have to use failsafe and then remove/purge the package
and the mirror. If i try the proprietary driver directly from the ati
site things gets even worse.
i want to use all features from this video card, any help is welcome.

I have a Sony VPCF1 laptop that has an Nvidia GeForce GT 425M/PCI/SSE2
chip set. The proprietary Nvidia driver (NVIDIA 260.19.36) loads and
runs. But I do not get direct rendering. I do not see messages in the X
server log saying it was disabled, but glxinfo says it is disabled, and
I cannot get desktop effects. And programs like the LLNL VisIt
application run dog slow.
I am not sure where to start. Select parts of glxinfo are:
server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
server glx version string: 1.4
client glx vendor string: Mesa Project and SGI
client glx version string: 1.4
OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL renderer string: GeForce GT 425M/PCI/SSE2
OpenGL version string: 1.4 (2.1.2 NVIDIA 260.19.36)
Could it be the client glx part that is wrong?

I can't start samba:
write_browse_list: Can't open file /var/lib/samba/browse.dat.. Error was
Permission denied
That file doesn't exist. I tried creating it but and changing it's
permissions. My /etc/smb.conf is simply:
[global]
workgroup = MSHOME
security = share
[PUBLIC]
path = /home/lynn/Public
guest ok = yes
read only = no
Any ideas anyone? 11.4 fresh install.

Hi folks,
On my fresh installed 11.4 I have a problem to start samba.
On a reference partition which is near original I have the same problem
as on my customized version.
smbd will not start.
Doing as root a smbd -i I get the following message:
smbd -i
Unable to setup corepath for smbd: Permission denied
smbd version 3.5.7-1.17.1-2505-SUSE-SL11.4-x86_64 started.
Copyright Andrew Tridgell and the Samba Team 1992-2010
Failed to open /etc/samba/secrets.tdb
Failed to open /etc/samba/secrets.tdb
ERROR: smbd can not open secrets.tdb
What's wrong ?
On the reference partition samba is unconfigured.
Thanks, Hans

Guys,
Hopefully this will save others the grief it caused me. After upgrade to
Firefox 4, clicking links in an email to http:// https:// etc... did nothing.
It was a complete PITA copying links from email and pasting them into the
browser (middle-click paste anywhere in the page)
After looking, I found an answer on the Arch Linux bbs. Basically, in
tbird, you must:
(1) Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Config Editor:
search: "network.protocol", locate:
network.protocol-handler.warn-external.ftp
network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http
network.protocol-handler.warn-external.https
** set each to "true" AND restart Thunderbird
(2) send yourself an email with a good link for each eg.:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositorieshttps://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=115524&p=1ftp://mirror.services.wisc.edu/mirrors/mysql/Downloads/
(3) click on the link in your email, the navigate to /usr/bin/firefox and
choose "[x] remember my selection" or whatever it says; and
then links in Thunderbird emails will once again open in firefox as they should.
It looks like some links or something were forgotten as part of the FF4
update. Wolfgang - can FF4 be fixed to do this automatically on update?

What is the difference between the two?
When I install knetworkmanager it appears in the system tray in kde4. And it
just works. But everyone else on the list refers to networkmanager, not
knetworkmanager.
Thanks.
