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

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

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.

tracker-miner-fs and the gnome-panel-applet-tracker

by George Olson

I have found that I have tracker-miner-fs running, and often at startup it hogs the cpu for a little while. I found this thread in the forums which was interesting, basically the same problem. http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/applications/459… The solution given at the end of the thread is, "If you have the gnome-panel-applet-tracker installed, you can disable it, just write "Tracker" in the box that you'll find when you click on the Suse button." I do have the gnome-panel-applet-tracker installed, as I found by rpm-qa | grep tracker, but how do you actually open and run this panel-applet so that you can find the Suse button and disable tracker? I also saw in my rpm qa that firefox and thundrbird use the tracker-miner. Will disabling it affect firefox and thunderbird? -- G.O.

Skype 4.0 for Linux

by Carl Hartung

Hi All, This item just appeared on slashdot ... Skype 4.0 For Linux Now Available http://linux.slashdot.org/story/12/06/14/223213/skype-40-for-linux-now-avai… "Anyone who uses Skype on Linux will be happy to hear that a new version has been made available today(1), bringing with it a host of essential updates and new features. Skype 4.0, codenamed "Four Rooms for Improvement," is long overdue, and Marco Cimmino makes a point of thanking Linux users for their patience on the Skype blog(2). The main improvements Skype is delivering include much improved audio call quality, better video support, and improved chat synchronization. For video specifically, Skype has spent time implementing support for a much wider range of webcams, so if your camera didn't work before today you might be surprised to find it does in Skype 4.0. Visually, Skype has received a new Conversations View, which brings all chats into a single, unified window (you can revert to the old view if you prefer). There's also a new Call View, presence and emoticons have been redesigned, and you can now store and view numbers within each Skype profile."

Printing with Canon IP1600 - cups thinks success, but nothing comes out

by Myrosia Dzikovska

I am trying to get a Canon IP1600 to print in OpenSuse 12.1. There are ubuntu instructions on the web, that I am trying to adapt http://askubuntu.com/questions/41615/how-to-install-canon-pixma-ip1600 I downloaded the drivers, tracked down older libraries (gtk1), and installed the rpms. The ppd file needed minor corrections, to say resolution 600x600 instead of 600/600, but with that passed the cupstestppd. Yast print setup happily detects the printer, reads in the ppd file, and lets me choose the ip2200 driver (which according to the docs should support ip1600 as well) . But when I print a test page, nothing comes out of the printer. The cups error log is attached. It contains no errors - cups clearly thinks that all is well. I tried using the command it logs from the command line, with a ps file, but that just got a bunch of stuff printed on the console instead of going to the printer. What could be going wrong here?

Need help: I found out where s2disk crashes.

by Carlos E. R.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm using 11.4. Hibernation, which has been relieably for years, is now crashing at the "Snapshotting system" message since about two or three months, after two or more hibernation cycles. I have hacked the suspend_system() function in suspend.c, adding messages that get printed to the screen so that I can see where it gets stuck. After doing the modification, system refused to crash for a week, till yesterday: finally, I got a crash after the "step 1.2" message: sprintf(message, "Snapshotting system - step 1.1"); printf("%s: %s\n", my_name, message); if (set_image_size(snapshot_fd, image_size)) { error = errno; break; } sprintf(message, "atomic_snapshot - step 1.2"); printf("%s: %s\n", my_name, message); <=========== if (atomic_snapshot(snapshot_fd, &in_suspend)) { error = errno; break; } So, it appears that atomic_snapshot() fails, and fails to report, and kernel crashes silently. What is the next step, what can I do? I'm no kernel dev, I need help! https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=765084#c5 - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
