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] Does 13.2+ work with shorewall properly yet? Read about wicked/systemd woes
by cagsm 06 Jun '16

06 Jun '16

Good day, I am trying to find out of shorewall is supposed to work with 13.2 properly, as I read about systemd stuff being in the midst of creation and wicked and sort of that things that make it problematic to run something different from susefirewall2.

[opensuse] I can not filter out some systemd messages in syslog
by Carlos E. R. 17 May '16

17 May '16

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I have this in "/etc/rsyslog.conf": if ($programname == 'named' or $syslogtag == '[named]:') \ then -/var/log/named & stop ... if ($msg contains 'Started Session' and $msg contains 'of user') \ then -/var/log/systemdpurged & stop # # the rest in one file # *.*;mail.none;news.none -/var/log/messages I get the expected entries in "/var/log/systemdpurged": <3.6> 2014-03-01 16:30:01 Telcontar systemd 1 - - Started Session 93 of user cer. <3.6> 2014-03-01 16:33:01 Telcontar systemd 1 - - Started Session 94 of user news. But I'm also getting them in "/var/log/messages": <3.6> 2014-03-01 16:30:01 Telcontar systemd 1 - - Starting Session 93 of user cer. <3.6> 2014-03-01 16:33:01 Telcontar systemd 1 - - Starting Session 94 of user news. And they should not be there. So the "stop" line for those systemd entries is not acting. However, it works for other sections, like the "named" section shown above, and others I do not show for clarity. Are systemd entries special? - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] Namebench
by Steven Hess 25 Dec '15

25 Dec '15

There was a previews thread where namebench was mentioned. I thought it was the optimizing resolv.conf thread. Anyway this is a different issue. Id like to run it. The ones I located in OBS were not functional here. What could I do to try another source? Thanks Steven -- ____________ Apply appropriate technology. Use what works without prejudice.

Hello, Wonder if others using a Sandy-bridge Intel video card (i915) is having same Plymouth boot splash dark screen with the three ??? question marks dots. I tried all the possible solutions found by Googling but the issue continues. The problem has raised recently, I suspect caused by some package updates.

[opensuse] gftp of opensuse sources
by don fisher 23 Mar '15

I am using the version of gftp that is a component of 3.2. When try to access the opensuse source at: http://download.opensuse.org /source/distribution/13.2/repo/oss/suse/src I receive a directory listing, with some file lengths listed as zero.

[opensuse] Tor browser for 13.1
by David C. Rankin 20 Mar '15

20 Mar '15

All, I have not yet investigated the tor network, but as "ransomeware" has become more prolific, with the bad-guys demanding payment via anonymous tor sites and bitcoin, it is probably time to understand WTF it is. (a colleague running M$ was hit today) Are there different tor browsers available, or is torproject basically it. Also, if anyone has a favorite link explaining the nuts and bolts of the tor quagmire, I welcome that as well. At first blush, it looks like tor navigation is basically what internet nav was prior to http (circa 1988). Just looking for a reference. Will start with wikipedia and go from there. Castration is too good for these ransomeware weasels. -- David C.

I don't understand if this is a universal issue/bug or it's only affecting certain users, such as those not using btrfs for example. Google searches aren't throwing up much in the way of openSUSE, only similar issues affecting various other distros. I don't know what more I can do to empty my /tmp and /var/tmp aside from simply rm -rf /tmp. I'm reluctant to do that as a last resort because I had problems long ago on this same system after emptying temp, although admittedly I stupidly did that whilst running as user with x. Doing some more plugging I found that systemctl -l status systemd-tmpfiles-clean.service was throwing up a failed message concerning gvfs. Thinking this might be preventing the service from running, I found a thread on the Arch bug tracker (https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/32715) which suggests a workaround for this being to create a file, /etc/tmpfiles.d/gvfs.conf containing, essentially: x /run/user/* to stop systemd going near /run/user at all. Well that changed nothing on my system. I've tried manually running systemd-tmpfiles --clean --remove but again, though it doesn't return an error, nothing is cleaned up or removed. I also notice when running systemctl -l status systemd-tmpfiles-clean.service the lines: Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-tmpfiles-clean.service; static) Active: inactive (dead) It seems to always be inactive. Meanwhile, running systemctl -l status systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service I get this: systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service - Recreate Volatile Files and Directories Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service; static) Active: active (exited) since Sat 2015-02-21 20:17:27 CET; 2min 4s ago Docs: man:tmpfiles.d(5) man:systemd-tmpfiles(8) Process: 356 ExecStart=/usr/bin/systemd-tmpfiles --create --remove --exclude-prefix=/dev (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 356 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) And I've no idea how to go about setting /tmp to store files for 30 days and /var/tmp for 90 like in the good old days, because there's clearly not much point even tinkering with that idea until I can get the service to run at all. The documentation (man page) for systemd-tmpfiles is awful and tells me nothing useful. I still have 2.5GB to fill on my root partition. I'll keep waiting. Before long I'll have to do something.

[opensuse] Grub troubles
by Frans de Boer 04 Mar '15

04 Mar '15

Hi, I have a server running 12.3 and want to install on a different partition the newer 13.2 distribution. Alas, after installation I can't boot 12.3 anymore because of wrong references. Every time I install a fresh kernel I have to manually edit the grub.cfg files to get 12.3 booted again. I also want to install a third system (LFS) without having to manually edit grub.cfg every time. So, is it possible to install the GRUB core image in a different partition and have the kernels be placed in the /boot directory of their respective partitions? Using this method I just need to chain to the relevant partition to start the local GRUB menu handler. - Between MBR and first partition: GRUB bootloader. - First partition: GRUB core and simple menu. - Second partition contains swap space - partitions 3..n Contain GRUB menu handlers and local linux kernels in local /boot dir. I need local GRUB handlers because of preserving the kernel version as supported by openSuse and newer standard kernels with better or newer support modules. Reading the GRUB 2.00 manual is not so helpful - to me - because of lack of unambiguous explanations or examples. Any suggestions?
