Adding fonts?
by Tracer Bullet 22 Aug '16

22 Aug '16

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

[opensuse] DenyHosts daemon mode on openSUSE 11.3
by LLLActive＠GMX.Net 23 Jan '15

23 Jan '15

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 15 Jul '13

15 Jul '13

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] openSUSE on ASUS Tranformer?
by Vojtěch Zeisek 23 Mar '13

23 Mar '13

Hi all, as openSUSE 12.2 for ARM is now out, see http://news.opensuse.org/2012/11/06/opensuse-12-2-for-arm-final/ I wonder if there is some (easy) possibility to install it to my ASUS Transformer TF300T. I'd like to keep Android and use it as dual boot. Have a nice day! Vojta -- Vojtěch Zeisek Komunita openSUSE GNU/Linuxu Community of the openSUSE GNU/Linux http://www.opensuse.org/ http://trapa.cz/

It would appear that on Oct 24, Greg Freemyer did say: > The keys themselves are public, but you as the hardware owner will > have to approve keys being added to public key database and therefore > ensure you are only adding public keys for entities you trust. "trust"??? OK if I'm supposed to add keys based on trust, how to subtract Microsoft??? {snicker} Actually I'm wondering about this: These public keys are effectively embedded in the kernel code somehow right? Or would it be possible for knowledgeable PC owner, to create his own "trust" key set. And then use it to "sign" an existing, older, formerly unsigned kernel. Then as PC Owner, add that key... {You see where I'm going with this right?} And if so, is there any reason that technique couldn't be used to install and run something like dos? {I have a couple of antique games you see} -- JtWdyP -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Mozilla updates arriving delayed on openSUSE
by Marco Calistri 18 Dec '12

18 Dec '12

Hello, Wonder why Mozilla updates are usually arriving delayed in comparison to the Microsoft version. I.E. I get Mozilla Firefox 16.0.2 some days ago and Thunderbird 16.0.2 today for my Windows machines but nothing yet for openSUSE 12.2. Thanks.

[opensuse] how to set global environment variables in crontabs
by Meike Stone 14 Dec '12

14 Dec '12

Hello list, I've a question related to cron on SuSE. I like to set global environment variables for all cron jobs. I see, that per default the cron runs a /bin/sh (link to /bin/bash). But in this mode of bash, the profile file will not included. So my questions are: 1) Is there a possibility to set global environment variables with using /bin/sh? 2) Or if not, how do I configure the /bin/bash as default for all crontabs? I know, that I can set environment variables in the crontabs (cron.d, cron.daily, ...) itself, but that is not the requested solution. I tried to set the SHELL=/bin/bash in the /etc/crontab, but that is not working!
