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

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.

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

What is the "official" way to mount floppy in openSUSE 12.x?

by Istvan Gabor

Hello: The subject says the question. [In pre 12 suse versions I had a /media/floppy directory where the floppy could be mounted at (by using the floppy icon on KDE3's desktop). In 12.x there is no such directory, and if created it will be removed at next boot, as I know correctly. Of course I could make a floppy dir under / or somewhere else, but I'd prefer its location to be in /media, since floppy is a media. Why should it be then outside of media dir?] What is the official way of mounting floppy in 12.x.? I have openSUSE 12.1 with KDE3 currently.

opensuse12.3 - cannot make ext drive available to all users

by John King

We recently upgraded our office desktop to opensuse 12.3, and have run into a problem with external drives. Our office desktop is used by several people during the day; each user has her/his own account, and users switch between them with the usual ctrl+alt+Fn combination. Most of our data is stored on an external drive. The first user plugs it in, and the last user of the day ejects it and stores it away securely. At least, that's what used to happen with opensuse 12.2. Since moving to 12.3, we find we can't do that. The first user has sole use of the drive in /var/run/media/<username1>, and other users have no access, which means they cannot access or update our data. Is there any (fairly straightforward) way we can restore the previous behaviour, and allow multiple users to access the external drive?

But I can do it by sending from external device to an Ubuntu virtual machine running in same openSUSE 12.3, that is the oddity: it seems something is wrong in openSUSE.

Laptop with NVIDIA NVS 5400M Graphics with Optimus Technology

by Basil Chupin

(Tip-toeing thru a minefield when trying to decide which laptop to buy is not much fun :-( .) What hidden reefs am I going to strike if I buy a laptop, to install openSUSE (13.1- and beyond), which has for its graphics something called 'NVIDIA NVS 5400M Graphics with Optimus Technology'? Will I be able to install oS on such a beast and get at least some fuzzy picture on the screen or not? (The laptop will come with Windows #8 pre-installed and which I will immediately consign to the latrine - after having it updated for free to 8.1 of course :-) .) Anybody, please, have an answer to, comment on, the above question?

Patch for nVidia driver 319.60?

by Basil Chupin

I've checked the Forums but don't see the answer to my question: is there a patch for the latest nVidia driver 319.60 so that it can be compiled for the 3.11.x kernel. Does anyone know, please, if such a patch exists and if so where is it to be found?

Syncing akonadi and android tablet via server?

by Stefan Gofferje

Hi, after I caught Google basically red-handed stealing the data from my Android address-book (see http://stefan.gofferje.net/news-blogs/it/172-why-one-shouldn-t-use-google-s…), I simply assume that they do similar stuff e.g. with the calendar and notes. Thus, I would like to find another solution but I'm not really deep in the PIM topic. Question: What would be the simplest Linux server-side software solution that would allow at minimum syncing of contacts, calendar and notes with an Android tablet and with akonadi. If it supports more devices/protocols, it would even be better. -Stefan -- (o_ Stefan Gofferje | SCLT, MCP, CCSA //\ Reg'd Linux User #247167 | VCP #2263 V_/_ Heckler & Koch - the original point and click interface
