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. I am setting this repo up for SLE9, I have tried to use createrepo but I keeping getting errors. -- ---------------------------------------- When a place gets crowded enough to require ID's, social collapse is not far away.

[opensuse] DenyHosts daemon mode on openSUSE 11.3

by LLLActive＠GMX.Net

Hi, I am trying to run DenyHosts on OS 11.3. I can get it to sync and update the hosts.deny file, but with "rcdenyhosts status" it reports as being "unused" just after I started it with "rcdenyhosts start". I tried also with yast, setting up as a service (daemon) and starting it. It also stops immediately. In the denyhosts.log file there is no error info, just what it used to set it up at start. I've gone through the configs several times, no joy. Anyone got DenyHosts running properly? :-/ Dreiel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Android print solution?

by David C. Rankin

Guys, With the iphone we were able to configure good print function via CUPS/Avahi, is there anything similar that can be done with an Android tablet? Looking, it doesn't appear that there is any basic print capability provided by Android (3.2 Honeycomb). I would like to print to by openSuSE server in the same manner I do from iOS. Anybody found a good solution? I have found PrintBot, but that isn't a solution because it cannot be used legally where confidentiality is required. (data is transferred to a 3rd party server before printing). I need to find a direct print solution. What says the braintrust? -- David C.

[opensuse] Offline Update of SuSE ?

by Peter Maffter

Once there were Patch CDs for offline Update of OpenSuSE. I was not able to find them on internet. I need the latest 64Bit rpm files for OpenSuSE 11.3 update (and later I'll try 11.4 and 12.1). Either for download via ftp (or wget) or as Patch CD/DVD. Thanks in advance. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Cautionary tale re encrypted HOME directory

by Basil Chupin

When I installed 12.1 I encrypted (for the first time) my HOME directory. Last night, in anticipation of installing KDE 4.8, I did a backup of my /home to an external HDD. Then the thought occurred to me - which is as a result of a court case in USA where the judge ruled that the Fifth Amendment did not apply where the woman refused to divulge the passphrase to her encrypted system and she had to type in the passphrase to make the contents of the HDD available to the DoJ - is my encrypted data now readable on the external HDD? The answer is YES. I attached the external to another computer and am able to read all the files in that backup. FYI. BC -- The wise man does at once what a fool does finally.

[opensuse] Yast nfs4 error

by lynn

Hi Yast NFS Client gives me the option to choose a share and select nfsv4. If I select the share I want from the drop down list it will not mount the share. I think the dialogue is wrong. e.g. if /home is exported and I select /home from the drop down list it will not mount. For nfs4 it should change /home to / As I see it, yast is trying to do this: mount -t nfs4 myserver:/home /somewhere but it should be doing this mount -t nfs4 myserver:/ /somewhere Is this a bug in Yast? I can mount it manually, but what should I put in fstab to make it mount?

[opensuse] can't unlock xscreensaver

by lynn

Hi everyone Logged into a Samba 4 domain from a 12.1 client under xfce, xscreensaver will not accept my Samba 4 password. /etc/pam.d/xscreensaver makes no mention of Samba 4 nor Kerberos. I understand that Samba 4 is still alpha, but maybe someone has a 12.1 client joined to a 2008-R2 AD and can help here. How can I let xscreensaver know that I'm not authenticating via gnome-keyring, locally nor via LDAP?

[opensuse] 11.4 Update (gtk?) messed up thunderbird thread marker triangles?

by David C. Rankin

Guys, It seems one of the latest updates did something to the little triangle thread markers in thunderbird that show when a thread has responses. Now the triangles for collapsed threads look like little squiglies. The downward facing triangles showing expanded threads look OK. Anybody else see this? Does this look like a Gtk issue or an issue with thunderbird? This screenshot shows what I'm seeing: [64k] http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/img/misc/tbird-triangles.jpg I don't think this problem is gtk2 itself because I see the same behavior on arch with gtk2 2.24.9-2. So it seems to be in some related/supporting package that draws the little triangles in thunderbird. I don't think this is just thunderbird related either, others have reported the same problems on all apps compiled against gtk2. Any ideas what package/library might be the root cause of the problem? I have no idea where the bug goes... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
