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

issues with widgets and plasmoids, please don't attack:))

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!

Braintrust, (graphics file gurus):
I have a handful of family pictures that have gotten corrupted somehow. A
majority have the thumbnails in place showing the initial exif header is in good
shape, but the scan section may be hosed. All pictures were taken from the same
kodak camera, so a hex edit replacement of the jpg header may be an option. I
don't know, I've just been googling for ideas. I suspect the corruption occurred
in the copy from the flash drive to the hard-disk. The flash drive is long long
overwritten.
I'm looking for any and all ideas. Different apps, different potential
mods/recompiles to libjpeg, anything?? I've tried the different apps, gimp,
kview, convert, etc.. convert gives the most descriptive error:
family_pictures/2008/12> convert 2008-12-24-095905.jpg -resize 95%
~/tmp/2008-12-24-095905.jpg
convert: Corrupt JPEG data: 3896 extraneous bytes before marker 0x51
`2008-12-24-095905.jpg' @ warning/jpeg.c/JPEGWarningHandler/325.
convert: Unsupported marker type 0x51 2008-12-24-095905.jpg @
error/jpeg.c/JPEGErrorHandler/297.
convert: missing an image filename `/home/david/tmp/2008-12-24-095905.jpg' @
error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3015.
From the error I can tell that there is a messed up jpeg marker, but I
haven't a clue to what markers are legit and what aren't. (obviously it doesn't
like 0x51...)
What say the gurus? Anyone every solved something like this before?

I'm trying to set up a Cyrus IMAP server. It requires an IMAP password,
but I don't see any default or way to set it. What's the secret here?

Hi all,
I have an openSUSE 11.4 32Bit system installed on its own disk.
Additionally attached are 2 mirrored 2-Port 3Ware raid cards, striped as
Linux Raid, then mounted as /home/Data (ext4).
The softraid was mounted after the OS installation within fstab, because
I wanted Data to be on the raid and not be dependent on or be part of
the OS FS directly.
I've never had a softraid before. Hard-Raid recover is painless with
2Ware, and immune to failing OS. I got a backup of the 4 TB raid; it has
2 TB data and a restore takes quite a while.
Now I lost my OS Installation, the disk is unresponsive. Before I go
ahead, I was wondering which way to go.
I am planning to install a new system and just hope the soft raid will
be there when I partition. What should I watch out for? I have searched
and read some ways to recover defective raids in the TLDP.org and
others, but the raid was ok. It was a mount as /home/Data directory. I
will mount it after the new installation as /home/Data again. Will that
work ok? How does the raid-setup work? Is the raid-partition info kept
on the disks? There is no controller with bios as in hardware raid to
store the Linux softraid info. As far as I know, HW-raids save the
raid-partition info on the disks and on the controller. How is it in
softraid?
:-)

My son is finally so far that he wants to try out opensuse. Up to now he has
only used Windows. The problem is that windows seems to neglect the .iso
extension. It does not show up. Only in chrome with which he made the download.
USB seems possible but was done without success. Read a lot on the web to no
avail. The iso file seems to be there as far as he can see.
openSUSE-11.4-KDE-LiveCD-x86_64-2.8.0.iso
No burning a cd (dvd burner not available). Remember from past discussions that
such burning is not without problems.
Could somebody give me details about the burning process?

Since some updates last week, I am unable to use the passwd command to
change passwords. When I try, I get an error message:
Unable to generate a salt. Check your crypt settings.
Cannot create salt for blowfish crypt
Error: Password NOT changed.
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
Any fix for this? I can use Yast to change passwords, but that means
bring the employees into my office to change their own passwords.
tnx jk

I am migrating my music over from itunes to run on Amarok (or another
player that may be better and can sync an ipod touch running ios 4.2.1).
The first step is to copy my music files from my itunes directories into
the music folder on my hard drive, /home/music.
The problem is, I have about 1/3 or 1/4 of these files purchased
directly from itunes, and so they are in the proprietary itunes format,
*.m4p.
I will not be sharing my purchased music with anyone, so I will not be
violating any copyright laws, so no worries there.
However, I still need to be able to read these songs with the music
player in OS 11.4, and I still need to be able to manage my ipod touch
in OS without going back to windows.
My first thought is that I would like to segregate all the m4p files
into one directory folder. /homes/music has multiple sub-directories
with the artists names, and those have sub-directories with album names
on them.
I was thinking the command line would be faster than one by one, if
there is a command line program similar to 'mv' that will look into a
directory and all its sub-directories to find files of type *.m4p, and
move them to a separate directory.
From there I can work with them in some way. At the very least I will
know which ones are in the m4p format so that I can go back to my
windows pc, burn them to audio cd (if there are not too many), and then
rip them back to mp3.
Or, if there is a better way to just use amarok or some other program to
read all the files, find the m4p files, and convert them, that would be
the easiest.
thanks
George
