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] What is the "official" way to mount floppy in openSUSE 12.x?
by Istvan Gabor 20 Jun '14

20 Jun '14

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.

[opensuse] Any chance of convincing Gimp to consider a .png as a valid saved image?
by Carlos E. R. 24 Sep '13

24 Sep '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I scan images using gimp and xsane. If I scan a dozen images, I have to keep track of what I save to PNG or JPG, because GIMP insists that none are saved and that I'm going to lose my data. It wants me to save as XCF and I will not. Any chance of changing this behavior? It is disruptive. :-/ - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] intel graphics with openSUSE 12.3
by Roger Oberholtzer 13 Aug '13

13 Aug '13

I have a new system with the following graphics: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Haswell Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Intel Corporation Device 2010 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 11 Memory at f0000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4M] Memory at e0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M] I/O ports at f000 [size=64] Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] Capabilities: [90] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit- Capabilities: [d0] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [a4] PCI Advanced Features The intel xf86 drivers are installed from xf86-video-intel-2.20.19-2.1.1.i586, which is the openSUSE 12.3 RPM However, the intel driver does not get used. Instead, the FBDEV driver is used. I see that it loads the intel driver (after trying the nvidia). There is no obvious complaint. It just goes on to the FBDEV. The only error I see in Xorg.0.log is: (EE) open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory There is no /dev/dri directory at all.

[opensuse] reorg of network:ha-clustering repo on build.opensuse.org
by Tim Serong 09 Aug '13

09 Aug '13

Hi All, This is just a quick heads-up. We're in the process of reorganising the network:ha-clustering repository on build.opensuse.org. If you don't use any of the software from this repo feel free to stop reading now :) Currently we have: - network:ha-clustering (stable builds for various distros) - network:ha-clustering:Factory (devel project for openSUSE:Factory) This is going to change to: - network:ha-clustering:Stable (stable builds for various distros) - network:ha-clustering:Unstable (unstable/dev, various distros) - network:ha-clustering:Factory (devel project for openSUSE:Factory) This means that if you're currently using packages from network:ha-clustering, you'll need to point to network:ha-clustering:Stable instead (once we've finished shuffling everything around). I'll send another email out when this is done.

[opensuse] Cant rename/remove /var/tmp in 12.3?
by Josef Wolf 07 Aug '13

07 Aug '13

Hello, in all my linux installations, I used to replace /var/tmp by a symlink to a directory on my main user partition. The intent of this is to ensure that there is no private information on the root partition. With 12.3, this won't work anymore: raven:/ # mv /var/tmp /var/tmp-orig mv: cannot move ‘/var/tmp’ to ‘/var/tmp-orig’: Device or resource busy raven:/ # ls -ld /var/tmp drwxrwxrwt 15 root root 4096 Jul 31 10:41 /var/tmp raven:/ # getfacl /var/tmp getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names # file: var/tmp # owner: root # group: root # flags: --t user::rwx group::rwx other::rwx raven:/ # df /var/tmp Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/cr_sda8 20649592 8361332 11239320 43% / I get the same error when trying to delete. Even rebooting into single user mode won't help. Any ideas why the directory appears to be busy? Even if I remove all the contents of the directory, it still appears to be busy. BTW: a busy directory seems to be totally new semantics to me. -- Josef Wolf jw(a)raven.inka.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
