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] boot.lvm not being executed ?

by Per Jessen

I seem to remember having seen this before, but I'm not sure. On my newly upgraded 12.2 system, /etc/init.d/boot.lvm is, afaict, not being executed on startup, so all LVs remain inactive. stork1:/etc/init.d # find . -iname \*lvm\* ./boot.d/K05boot.lvm ./boot.d/S09boot.lvm ./boot.lvm When I run it manually, it works fine: stork1:/etc/init.d # ./boot.lvm start redirecting to systemctl Waiting for udev to settle... Scanning for LVM volume groups... Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while... Found volume group "xxxxxxxxx" using metadata type lvm2 Found volume group "xxxxxx" using metadata type lvm2 Activating LVM volume groups... 3 logical volume(s) in volume group "xxxxxxxxxxx" now active 5 logical volume(s) in volume group "xxxxxx" now active Before I go and open a bugreport, I was just wondering if anyone else is seeing a similar behaviour? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (22.1°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] what is the difference between zypper dup and yast switch system packages

by George Olson

This came up as I was trying to upgrade KDE, but it is more about the functionality of yast and zypper, so I am posting it in this list instead of the KDE list. I just upgraded my laptop to 12.2, and I wanted to afterwards upgrade to KDE 4.9. So I added the KDE 4.9 repositories for 12.2 and as I write this I am using yast to download the upgrade. I thought about doing it with zypper like I did last time when I was using 12.1, but I decided to try yast this time. So this time I went to yast, selected the KDE repositories I had enabled, and then clicked on the option "switch system packages to this repository." Now what I have learned is that when you do a zypper dup, you can either use the "--from" option" or the "-r" option to specify the repositories you are using. According to man zypper: --from <alias|name|#|URI> Restricts the upgrade to the specified repositories (the option can be used multiple times) only, but can satisfy dependen- cies also from the rest of enabled repositories. -r, --repo <alias|name|#|URI> Work only with the repository specified by the alias, name, number, or URI. This option can be used multiple times. So when I have used zypper dup in the past, I have used the --from option. So here is the question. When you upgrade via yast by switching system packages, is it the same as using the --from option with zypper, the same as using the -r option with zypper, or is it something different? -- G.O.

[opensuse] No sound in 12.2

by James Knott

I no longer have sound on my computer, since upgrading to openSUSE 12.2. According to Yast Sound Configuration, I have the sound built in on my Asus motherboard and it uses the snd-intel8x0 driver. However, according to the mixer Sound and Video Configuration, there is no sound card. Lsmod shows "snd_pcm 109282 3 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss". Any idea how I can get sound going? This is the first time in many years that I haven't had sound working. tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] More on Sound in 12.2

by Robin Klitscher

As I mentioned in the thread on "No sound in 12.2", for historical reasons I'd avoided using pulseaudio and had fallen back to alsa. This works well in 12.1 and 12.2, except that I couldn't get the gstreamer backend in Phonon to work properly; only VLC. Desktop is KDE 4.9.x; sound card is a PCI-e X-Fi Titanium. Having followed the other thread I've now installed pulseaudio in 12.2. And it works very well with the gstreamer backend (though not the VLC backend) - except for one thing. I simply cannot persuade ann .mp3 sound track to play in the "Advanced Slideshow" in either Digikam or Gwenview. It does play with alsa sans pulseaudio using the VLC backend, but not with pulseaudio using either the gstreamer backend or the VLC backend. And the oddest thing is that it does play if I hit "Preview" on the soundtrack page of the advanced slideshow setup - but not when I start the slideshow itself. Obviously there is something I'm not doing right, but I don't know what it is and it's driving me nuts. I've looked all over the place for plugins or other modules I might have missed, and I've asked elsewhere including a Digikam mailing list, but without result. So now I'm asking here....

[opensuse] Should cron write in upper or lower case?

by Per Jessen

Since we switched to cronie in openSUSE 11.4, cron has been writing logmessages with the name of the executable in upper case, where as the previous cron daemon wrote in lower case. I opened: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=780237 Vojtech (the maintainer) doesn't think this regression should be fixed, and closed it as WONTFIX. I think this regression should be fixed, even if nobody else has noticed it in 11.4 and 12.1. Does anyone here have any thoughts on the matter? To me, it's clearly a regression and wrong - the executable name is logged as /USR/SBIN/CRON, which doesn't exist: ls -l /USR/SBIN/CRON ls: cannot access /USR/SBIN/CRON: No such file or directory I discovered it by accident when I upgraded a system to 12.2, but it's been like this for 11.4 and 12.1. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (17.1°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
