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

by Chuck Payne 09 Nov '15

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 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 12.1: connect-debounce error
by Peter Maffter 13 Jul '12

13 Jul '12

I am still testing my new machine. First I had problems with the fake raid of my AsrockZ68 Extreme4 Gen3: OpenSuSE 11.4 was not able to handle this in RAID1 mode. I switched to OpenSuSE 11.3 which worked. But I still wanted a new version of SuSE so I tried 12.1 a few days ago. There was a huge problem with Systemd and RAID mechanism which gave me the impression that this part is far too immature to be used. This view of mine is confirmed by the many problems of systemd that can be read on the internet. I switched back to SysV initialization instead of Systemd. SysV works now. But both initialization methods show an error: "<3>[ 4.722529] hub 1-1:1.0: connect-debounce failed, port 1 disabled" This was not shown when booting SuSE 11.3 so I wonder why SuSE 12.1 fills up the logfile with that message: "... Feb 10 10:07:53 linux-wc9i kernel: [ 246.401407] hub 1-1:1.0: connect-debounce failed, port 1 disabled Feb 10 10:07:55 linux-wc9i kernel: [ 248.441347] hub 1-1:1.0: connect-debounce failed, port 1 disabled Feb 10 10:07:57 linux-wc9i kernel: [ 250.489279] hub 1-1:1.0: connect-debounce failed, port 1 disabled Feb 10 10:07:59 linux-wc9i kernel: [ 252.537238] hub 1-1:1.0: connect-debounce failed, port 1 disabled Feb 10 10:08:01 linux-wc9i kernel: [ 254.585179] hub 1-1:1.0: connect-debounce failed, port 1 disabled Feb 10 10:08:03 linux-wc9i kernel: [ 256.633113] hub 1-1:1.0: connect-debounce failed, port 1 disabled Feb 10 10:08:05 linux-wc9i kernel: [ 258.677047] hub 1-1:1.0: connect-debounce failed, port 1 disabled Feb 10 10:08:07 linux-wc9i kernel: [ 260.724980] hub 1-1:1.0: connect-debounce failed, port 1 disabled ..." :-( All USB ports seem to work and accept e.g. USB sticks. USB ports are ok as far as I can see. No hardware was changed between 11.3 and 12.1. Luckily I have the boot.msg from 11.3 and there are differences when detecting USB: SuSE 12.1: <6>[ 2.110478] hub 1-0:1.0: 2 ports detected ... <6>[ 2.130475] hub 2-0:1.0: 2 ports detected .... <6>[ 2.555082] hub 1-1:1.0: 6 ports detected <===this one shows the debounce later on ... <6>[ 2.799073] hub 2-1:1.0: 8 ports detected .. <6>[ 6.116515] hub 3-0:1.0: 2 ports detected ... <6>[ 6.116672] hub 4-0:1.0: 2 ports detected ... <6>[ 6.117044] hub 5-0:1.0: 2 ports detected ... <6>[ 6.117148] hub 6-0:1.0: 2 ports detected SuSE 11.3 detects USB different and showed no error: <6>[ 1.066475] hub 1-0:1.0: 2 ports detected ... <6>[ 1.080467] hub 2-0:1.0: 2 ports detected ... <6>[ 1.459873] hub 1-1:1.0: 6 ports detected ... <6>[ 1.678075] hub 2-1:1.0: 8 ports detected ... <6>[ 4.443160] hub 3-0:1.0: 4 ports detected ... <6>[ 4.443582] hub 4-0:1.0: 4 ports detected Is there a bug in the USB detection of SuSE 12.1?

[opensuse] Poor performance in 12.1
by James Knott 12 Apr '12

12 Apr '12

Stortly after openSUSE 12.1 was release, I upgraded a computer that had previously been running 11.0 very well. However, since installing 12.1, I've noticed frequent, extensive disk activity, that essentially renders my computer unresponsive for several seconds. I don't have to be doing anything for this disk activity to start. Has anyone else experienced this? Fixes? tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Should openSUSE review it's Security Policies?
by Larry Stotler 02 Apr '12

02 Apr '12

As many are aware, Linus Torvalds has started a rant about the security policies in openSUSE for things that require the root password. From his Google+ post(https://plus.google.com/102150693225130002912/posts/1vyfmNCYpi5), he names these: Time Zone changes Adding a Printer Adding a wireless network. Now, I don't usually see the wireless issue because KNetworkmanager in KDE3(which I use) has never asked the root password for adding a new network. While at 37, I've never changed timezones(I lead a boring life) I would have to agree that having to use the root password for this would be annoying if I needed to change it because of a flight or something. I've worked with Linus on a hardware issue years ago, and I think we should probably at least consider reviewing the policies if they do need changed. Just my 2 cents. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
