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

[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] Drive, space and usage
by Duaine Hechler 07 Oct '13

07 Oct '13

I am upgrading from 500GB to 1TB drives. The 500GB drives are 99% full. After I do the initial upgrade, how is the data spread across the drive ? Contiguous from front to back like Windows FS ? Or evenly spread (but contiguously) across the drive ? Ultimately, I'm trying to figure out - is the front of the drive going to get the brunt of the work or is the data going to be scattered across the drive.

[opensuse] On switching from runlevel 3 to 5, two partitions are umounted (by systemd??)
by Carlos E. R. 03 Oct '13

03 Oct '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I boot this system in level 3, text mode with network. Some times I manually mount two encrypted partitions there, as root. Then I switch to runlevel 5, and log in. Eventually, I noticed that those two partitions were not mounted. I thought that perhaps I did not mount them. So this time I checked. I mounted them, and verified that the content was available. I then started level 5 (init 5). I typed ctrl-alt-f1, and listed the content of those partitions: not mounted. Not only that, but the "/dev/mapper/..." device had disappeared as well. This is 12.3. Problem happens on every boot. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
