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

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 on ASUS Tranformer?
by Vojtěch Zeisek 23 Mar '13

23 Mar '13

Hi all, as openSUSE 12.2 for ARM is now out, see http://news.opensuse.org/2012/11/06/opensuse-12-2-for-arm-final/ I wonder if there is some (easy) possibility to install it to my ASUS Transformer TF300T. I'd like to keep Android and use it as dual boot. Have a nice day! Vojta -- Vojtěch Zeisek Komunita openSUSE GNU/Linuxu Community of the openSUSE GNU/Linux http://www.opensuse.org/ http://trapa.cz/

[opensuse] Support for Intel and Crucial SSDs
by Ted Byers 13 Feb '13

13 Feb '13

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?

[opensuse] Paying with the "future": Btrfs Grub2, systemd
by Anton Aylward 02 Feb '13

02 Feb '13

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. -- "What you have to do and the way you have to do it is incredibly simple.

[opensuse] Audio codecs
by Thomas Taylor 02 Feb '13

02 Feb '13

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.
