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] opensuse12.3 - cannot make ext drive available to all users
by John King 24 Mar '14

24 Mar '14

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?

[opensuse] Missing of a better power management for laptop
by Marco Calistri 28 Sep '13

28 Sep '13

Hello OpenSuSers, IMHO, we are missing an acoustic alarm as well as a really working hibernate or suspend function in 12.3. It is very annoying being sudden logged out by the system powering down without the possibility to be warned in advance (by acoustic alarm) or to restart exactly from the point wherein you have been logged off by critical battery level. So far I'm experiencing these issues in my opensuse 12.3. Sorry to have to admit thhat ones again Windows appears to be more versatile on this matter.

[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] Ancient laptop display goes black and does not recover (i845 graphics)
by Carlos E. R. 08 Sep '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Content-ID: <alpine.LNX.2.00.1308312009350.7832(a)Telcontar.valinor> Hi, I have an ancient laptop ("Airis GEA N619", with Pentium IV (32 bit), 512 MiB ram, 80 GB HD), running openSUSE 12.3. The screen goes dark after some time both in text mode and X mode (graphics). I think it powers down the display. When this happens, I don't know how to wake it up. The laptop is active, I work on it via ssh, and it is running fine - but no display. I can blind type on it, too (if I know which terminal has a free prompt) In X I might be able to configure out DPMS. But text mode? I've never heard how to configure that in text mode. :-? Or any command to force the display to wake up? I tried the blue keys (Fn) on the laptop. No go. Actually one of them kills the machine further, it goes to sleep and it has no battery (guess). Video is "Intel Corporation i845" from "Uniwill Computer Corp". The doc says "Intel® Extreme Graphics". Display has no EDID info.
