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

Started to intall 11.4 on a new laptop with Windows 7 pre-installed.
Installation from DVD downloaded (MDsum checked). After the various
choices of partioning and software (accepted defaults for partionning and
mostly for software), when installation begins, it stops almost
immediately with:
failure occurred during following action: creating volume /dev/sd7.
System error code was: -1007
sda7 was to be the swap; sda8 root (ext4), and sd9 home (ext4). sda1 is
Windows/C; sda2 is Windows/D. I suspect the reason for using 7, 8, and 9
is that this is the third try, and that the first one set up 3,4 and 5.
The Windows partition appears to have been correctly shrunk, and Windows
will still boot. The installation suggests these three linux partitions
be set up (and gives me the chace to alter them), so my guess is that
there is space there but unpartitioned.
When the error is presented, it asks if I want to go ahead anyway: so far
I have said no.
Machine specs: Intel mobile i5-241M 2.3Ghz; NVIDIA GT 555M 2GB PCIe; 8 GB
DDR-3 1333; motherboard: Intel HM65 Express Chipset Mainboard.
Suggestions?
Many thanks!

Now I have a bootable kernel I have worked though matters with 11.4
All the personal config came though intact :-)
A lot of the system config has been altered and I'm not sure if that is
just 11.3/11.4 differences or what.
These are the problems I see now
1. KDM does not work. The greeter fails.
The log file reads

There is nothing wrong with X. I can start it with 'startx'
from the command line under both the root account and my
personal account and with a few oddities (see later) it works.
I don't know what to make of that message or how to proceed.
2. Lots of odd errors in config files
Many things started from the command line produce stuff like
this

3. Latency on menubar
Just about every application, thunderbird & firefox in
particular, but all the KDE applications as well, have a delay
when top menubar items are clicked. I am used to this on LiveCD
where the system has to drag in the relevant stuff from the CD
but not on a real system. The KDE applications seem to cache
items, the GTK applications don't seem to.
4. No sound.
Sound has stopped working.
Testing with LiveCD tells me its not a hardware problem
The mixer icon doesn't appear in the system tray on starting
KDE4 and when it is started everything is set to zero.
Even then sound isn't working.
This isn't a modules problem, the modules are all loaded
as I expect.

The system is desktop v11.3, KDE v4.4
Because of the behavior, I do not see how I could approach diagnosis,
even if I had a clue what to do.
Sometime, wiggling the mouse cursor a bit makes the mouse responsive for
a few seconds. When that doesn't work, sometimes letting it sit for a
half hour or so frees it. Sometimes only the reset button does anything,
How can I deal with this problem?

The client is on a v11.4 laptop. The entries in YaST > NFS client are:
Server: poblano
Remote directory: /home/stan
Mount point: /home/stan/nfs/poblano (which exists)
NFS type: nfs
Options: default (for the time being)
NFSv4 is unchecked
Firewall port is open on all interfaces (for the time being)
fstab contains the line:
"poblano:/home/stan /home/stan/nfs/poblano nfs defaults 0 0"
An attempt to write this configuration results in:
"Unable to mount NFS entries from /etc/fstab"
I must be doing something foolish, but I don't see it.

Hi!
I have to warn out since this is a highly technical question :) but I
would like to purchase a copy of the opensuse mascot (as stuffed
animal). Could not found it at the official fan shop and I was mainly
interested in a purely opensuse branded version. I remember I saw a
picture once from some opensuse conference showing a cute copy. Any
recommendation where I could buy a nice one? Thanks a lot!
Andre
PS: And of course I do not buy it for myself ;)

Guys,
Just a heads up. On Arch, the update to thunderbird-5.0-1-x86_64 breaks pop
account access. The pop server does not access the password communication
resulting in the following error:
Please send PASS command
It is repeatedly displayed and no matter whether you enter your password
manually or hit 'retry', you will not get access to your pop account.
Downgrading to thunderbird-3.1.11-1 fixed the problem.
Don't know if it is a generic tbird problem, or just an Arch issue, but I
thought I would drop a line to make sure the SuSE packages test this issue
before putting the rpms out.

For me the need was to have multiple monitors controlled from a single PC. My
solution was to use several PCs, each with a single monitor, connected to a
local network. I use on the main PC synergy server and on all the others PCs
synergy client to control with the same keyboard and mouse all PCs. Then ssh -
X toward the main PC and launch remotely the applications I need. So, a cheap
multiple display solution with single output video cards :)

I am not experienced with Linux and this is my first attempt to load SUSE.
I downloaded the 32 bit version of the full DVD using bit torrent and
burned a DVD. I installed on my old Gateway with P-486 running 3 GHz
with 2 gig of memory. The install used the recommended partitioning and
appeared to run normally except that the re-boot to the hard drive
failed. (Note: The onscreen text did not say to remove the DVD as
stated in step 6 of the installation guide.) It displayed the green
screen with the logo in the center. The system did not respond to any
input. I did not record the time but the green screen was up for more
than 5 minutes before I forced a shutdown. The system was not connected
to my network and the only failures I noted on the BW list was network
connection were not established.
I restarted from the DVD and ran disk validation (100%), then reran the
installation with the same results described above. This time I left
the green screen up for at least 30 minutes to be sure some long running
process could complete. I removed the DVD, forced the shutdown and
re-stared the system. This time YaST2 automatic configuration started
but did not run to completion, ending with the system stalled and not
responding to any input.
So far, I have found no hints in the online information other than to
re-burn the DVD at a slower speed.
I did a re-download of openSUSE-11.4-DVD-i586.iso using FinalTorrent,
validated the both MD5 and sha1 checksum , burned a DVD but could not
control the speed, validated the burn, verified the media before running
a complete install. YaST2 stopped once during package install but
loaded the file after the retry. The system was connected to the
network for this installation. System restart appeared to run normally
up to about 3/4 of the progress bar. I forced the system to power down
after about an hour at this point. I have photos of most of the screens
presented in the installation.
Any additional suggestions or recommendations? Any suggestions on how
to research this issue (search terms)?
