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

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] 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.

by Istvan Gabor

Hello: I wanted to give a try to LibreOffice 3.6. There is an openSUSE repo for it with .repo file and repodata files but no packages. Is it on purpose or only an error?

[opensuse] NTP, KDE 4.9,and NetworkManager on 12.2

by Roger Oberholtzer

On openSUSE 12.1 with KDE 4.9 (same with 4.8 and earlier) when I start my network via NetworkManager (wired or wireless), NTP seems not quite right. I is runnuig. But it does not set the time right unless I restart it. It has been this way for a while (months). Here is a sample of what I mean: # rcntp status redirecting to systemctl ntp.service - LSB: Network time protocol daemon (ntpd) Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/ntp) Active: inactive (dead) since Fri, 31 Aug 2012 21:13:26 +0200; 4h 39min ago Process: 2309 ExecStop=/etc/init.d/ntp stop (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 1274 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/ntp start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) CGroup: name=systemd:/system/ntp.service # date Sat Sep 1 01:52:46 CEST 2012 # rcntp restart redirecting to systemctl # date Fri Aug 31 23:53:46 CEST 2012 The final date after the restart is correct.
