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

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?

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?

I have two servers that have failed hard drives. They are each about
3 years old.
I am considering replacing the drives, and their controllers by SATA
controllers and SSDs. However, I have been told by a number of local
experts that often times the SSDs are not properly recognised, and
also that at least some require special drivers.
If I restrict consideration to the best SSDs on the market (as far as
I can tell, that would be Intel and Crucial), do I need to worry about
locating special drivers for the drive for use on the latest Suse
distribution. And, if the controller is SATA, do I need to worry about
the drive being recognised, at least for models produced in the last
year or so? What does you collective experience indicate?
Thanks
Ted

Out of curiosity I pulled a scratch machine from 'the closet of anxiety'
(it was labelled as having a dab disk) found another disk and some
memory and the openSuse 12.2 installation DVD, oh and a DVD drive that
worked, and ....
Set up an install that used BtrFS, grub2 and systemd
I left it to run overnight and came in just now and found a big
red/orange error message saying that it hadn't be able to install the
user - that's me, 'anton'.
I rebooted and it was all there. It booted (using grub2) and systemd.
I logged in as root and hand created the 'anton' account and all was
merry, merry.
I had partitioned the 10G drive as swap plus a single BtrFS partition.
No separate /boot. The partitioner complained that I should have a
separate /boot that was ext3 or ext4. I've had problems with that
before so even if I were to do that I know there would be problems later.
So I have one big partition. I've played with BtrFS before in a LVM
partition, but it struck me that the design and advantages of BtrFS come
into play when you have the big mix of files.
I do have some reservations.
Classically there have been good reasons for partitioning.
I recall one vulnerability that arise if /tmp was on the same fs as the
root. Good reason to have a /tmp that is nosetuid, possibly even
noexec. In fact the principle of least privileged means you should
apply those two to trees that have no reason to have executables or
privilege. Certainly /usr/share -- documentation, manuals, fonts,
icons, come into that category. There's a good case that /srv/httpd/
should be restricted too, after all the scripts there are to be
interpreted (by perl or php or python or ruby or whatever) rather than
executed.
I'll look into these security concerns when I get to play about with
this scratch machine over the coming weeks.
Right now all I can say is 'it works'. So far. Next to bring it to the
desk and tie it to the LAN...
If you have questions about running Suse purely on BtrFS I'll try to
answer them. Please don't ask performance questions, this is a crappy
old machine. slow disk, slow cpu, slow memory. I'm concerned with
functions and hurdles.

Does anyone know where to obtain codecs for mpeg-4 AAC and H.264? I've
tried yast (packman & libdvdcss enabled) and opensuse search but
neither had anything. Online Google search found some mpeg-4's but
mostly for windblows and no H.264.
I want these to be able to use all the features of the mplabx PIC
microcontroller IDE.
Thanks, Tom

Hi all!
I just upgraded to OpenSUSE 12.2 and I am facing a strange problem that
I hope someone here can help me with.
I want my OpenSUSE 12.2 PC to authenticate against an eDirectory server
over LDAP. After some difficulties with the self-signed certificate, I
managed to get it to the point where Yast's User and Group Management
can "see" and list the users in eDirectory. Here comes the strange part:
When I try to login via GDM on the OpenSUSE 12.2 PC using any of the
LDAP users, I get an Authentication Failed error. Turning on DSTRACE on
my eDirectory server, I can see that there is no incoming LDAP request.
When I use Yast's User and Group Management applet to view LDAP users, I
can see the incoming LDAP request.
So, what do I have to configure further so I can login to OpenSUSE with
LDAP user credentials? I checked through /etc/sssd/sssd.conf and the
LDAP settings look correct. What else do I need to check?
Thanks very much in advance!!
