Adding fonts?

by Tracer Bullet

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

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.

[opensuse] installation error

by Fr David Ousley

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?

[opensuse] 11.4 problems: Kdm Sound temprature

by Anton Aylward

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 X.Org X Server 1.9.3 Release Date: 2010-12-13 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: openSUSE SUSE LINUX Current Operating System: Linux BigBoy 2.6.37.6-0.5-pae #1 SMP 2011-04-25 21:48:33 +0200 i686 Kernel command line: root=/dev/sda3 resume=/dev/sda2 splash=silent quiet PROFILE=default vga=0x317 Build Date: 22 February 2011 10:15:34PM Current version of pixman: 0.20.0 Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.

No protocol specified kdmgreet: cannot connect to X server :0 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 kbuildsycoca4(4522)/kdecore (services) KServicePrivate::init: The desktop entry file "/usr/share/applications/YaST2/inetd.desktop" has Type= "Application" but also has a X-KDE-Library key.

Please fix your file. 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. # lsmod | grep snd snd_pcm_oss 47823 0 snd_mixer_oss 16817 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_seq 57265 0 snd_seq_device 6646 1 snd_seq snd_intel8x0m 12017 0 snd_intel8x0 27766 1 snd_ac97_codec 106641 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_intel8x0m ac97_bus 1082 1 snd_ac97_codec snd_pcm 88249 4 snd_pcm_oss,snd_intel8x0,snd_intel8x0m,snd_ac97_codec snd_timer 21876 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm snd 65966 11 snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_intel8x0,snd_intel8x0m,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 6854 1 snd snd_page_alloc 8025 3 snd_intel8x0,snd_intel8x0m,snd_pcm -- If you lie to the compiler, it will get its revenge. - Henry Spencer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Mouse hangs very frequently (CPU usage?) system 100% unusable

by Stan Goodman

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? -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Why does new NFS client not configure"

by Stan Goodman

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. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] where to order the stuffed animal version of the opensuse mascot?

by Andre Massing

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 ;) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Warning - update to tbird 5.0.1 on Arch breaks pop access

by David C. Rankin

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. -- David C.
