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

Hi,
I have a DNS server setup on a desktop machine thatis also my print and SAMBA
servers.
The DNS server is responding but Wireshark is reporting a DNS Server Error as
the replies to what appear to be the DNS queries.

Also, very interesting is that I thought the DNS deamon was dnsmasq but when I
turned that off in the Services menu I expected to get no response or at least
something different but it is exactly the same Network traffic.
Logically I sohuld conclude that the process 'dnsmasq' is not the DNS server
process as indicated by the man page.
DNSMASQ(8)
DNSMASQ(8)
NAME
dnsmasq - A lightweight DHCP and caching DNS server.
SYNOPSIS
dnsmasq [OPTION]...
DESCRIPTION
dnsmasq is a lightweight DNS, TFTP and DHCP server. It is intended to
provide coupled DNS and DHCP service to a LAN.
Where does the 'dnsmasq' command line get run from? I would like to review
the commadn line and possibly turn on the logging.
Does anyone have the DNS server working in OpenSUSE 11.3?
Does anyone have the SAMBA server working in OpenSUSE 11.3?
Thank you,
Bruce

Being one of the folks who tries to do the Subject,
I recently ran across an old thread on the list which confirmed
most of my experience with it, but mentioned that Yast (in the
installer mode) might not be putting grub, etc. on both disks'
MBR or /boot. After some web-digging, I tried the following:
grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
(hd0,0)
(hd1,0)
Can someone competent in the matter confirm for me that the above
does indeed mean that both disks in the array have had a working
grub written to both disks, and therefore, in the event of the
failure of one drive, the other is indeed bootable into a working system?
If not, why not and what should I do to "fix" the matter.
TIA.

I downloaded a program that I needed off the internet and the
installation program was a script file with the extension .sh. The
instructions from the developer said to run the script on a command line
by typing the command:
./<filename>
I thought (mistakenly) that I could run any shell script by typing the
command . <filename> (with a space between the dot and the filename). So
I tried to run it that way, and I got the error "cannot execute binary
file".
However, when I followed the developer's instructions and typed in
./<filename>, the script executed perfectly and installed the program.
So my question is, what is the difference between running a script file
with the command
<dot><space><filename>, for example "#> . myscript.sh"
and running it with
<dot><slash><filename>, for example "#> ./myscript.sh"?

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!

OK now while I don't like yast's package management interface, and thus use
zypper, there are times when I need yast or yast2 to do something else...
Now If I understand correctly yast2 is supposed to be the gui version of
yast that required X and yast is the curses equivalent that can be run in a
virtual console such as tty1 without X... But while I'm glad that there is
a curses equivalent, I find the gui version less confusing.
Ever since kde4 proved incompatible with my brain, the only gui's I use are
E17 and E16 Or under extreme duress xfce... And by default, I use E17
And if it matters I boot to runlevel 3 and use startx when/if I'm
ready for a gui. Though admittedly, most of the time my first user
command is startx...
E17's applications menu only mentions yast once. And that is at
menu->applications->System->YaST (Administrator Settings)
Since there isn't a separate choice for yast2 I would tend to assume that
the menu choice would actually point at the gui yast2, but I can't prove it.
You see when I select yast from the menu, I get a small popup that prompts
me for the password. I don't know if it's based on the sudo settings or not
but since my sudoers file has "targetpw" on the defaults line it shouldn't
matter because it should want root's password. Which appears to be true
because if I use my own the pop-up simply exits immediately. But if I enter
my root password, some text output that looks like the stdout and/or stderr
I'd expect in an xterm if I call a gui application from it. But this text
scrolls by so fast I can't read any of it before "Poof" the popup window
closes. And yast2 doesn't start. I guess it's possible that it's trying to
start the curses version of yast, but in that case it should be opening an
xterm to run it in, and that doesn't happen either.
I've tried starting yast2 from an "xterm" (actually a "konsole" window,
{konsole being one of the few KDE apps I still use in spite of kde4}):
I've done this in three ways with different results:
su -c /sbin/yast2
which yields over 300 lines of stderr (see http://pastebin.com/AgwCap3W )
and no yast of any kind...
sudo /sbin/yast2
which actually starts the curses version in the current konsole window...
But if I open a root shell first:
su -
yast2
I get only about 9 lines of stderr (see http://pastebin.com/CwJtbKLS )
before the gui yast2 control center does actually open a functional window.
This bothers me because I much prefer to use either:
'su -c "command arglist"' or 'sudo command arglist' to start an
admin level gui than to leave an open root shell that I might
forget to close hanging around.
And of course because there should be a working yast menu choice in the gui
menu on an OpenSuSE system, shouldn't there???
Can anybody tell me how to fix this?
TIA

Guys,
This is baffling... another rankinism... I get that this is a carriage return
in the file and it is usually associated with dos/unix editing of files, but I
can't tell if I'm causing it or if it is just dvgrab. If I output sdtout/stderr
to a terminal all looks good, but when I check the log file, I have two spaces
between every line. Here is the console output:
Found AV/C device with GUID 0x08004601017ede99

Literally, every line output from dvgrab has an extra:
'^M.....80spaces.....^M'
It's easy enough to kill in vi with '%s/^v^m//g' and '%s/^ *//', but I want
to figure out what is causing this garbage. The script I'm using is straight
forward. 2 temporary files are written to get the information in the order I
want it, and the information is then appended to a log file and a tape index:
<snip>
# initialize vars and files
tmpfn=/tmp/dvtmp.log
tmpapp=/tmp/dvapp.log
:>$tmpfn
:>$tmpapp
# write stuff
echo -e "\nTape: $tapect -- \n" >> $tmpapp
echo -e "\nCapture Started: $(date '+%b %e %T')\n" | tee -a $tmpfn
# this is the command that is giving me garbage
dvgrab -rewind -timestamp -autosplit=3600 -format raw dcrv- 2>&1 | tee -a $tmpfn
dvcont rewind
# append capture log
cat $tmpfn >> /dat_e/dv/capture.log
# get list and append dvgrab log to bottom
ls -l >> $tmpapp
cat $tmpfn >> $tmpapp
# add all that stuff to the tape index
cat $tmpapp >>/dat_e/dv/tape-idx.txt
I can't see where I'm causing the carriage returns and 80 spaces to get
appended to the dvgrab output... It could be me, but I can't see it! Anybody
else see anything wrong with the tee call or anything else that could be causing it?
Other than me doing something dumb, it looks like it is just dvgrab spitting
out 'a carriage return + 80 spaces + another carriage return' with every dv clip
it processes...
If it is dvgrab, then is there a way I can have bash strip this info before
it gets written to the files? The terminal does it by default evidently, because
the output I get from stdout/stderr looks correct in konsole, so can I pipe the
output through something (hopefully lighter than sed) that would strip it before
I pipe it to tee?

Hi fellow foxers;
Does anyone know where I can get an rpm for the REAL Firefox 5? Every link
I've followed brings me FF 6 even when the rpm name says it's ver 5. Want to
revert back to version 5. Don't like the newer ones.
Thanks, Tom
