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 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.

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.

[opensuse] Strange messages in log, when cron jobs run, about "Failed to open private bus connection"
by Carlos E. R. 06 Apr '15

06 Apr '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi, Since recently, I think, I get these messages on the warn log when a cron job runs, on two computers at least: <3.4> 2015-03-31 02:34:01 minas-tirith systemd 4025 - - Failed to open private bus connection: Failed to connect to socket /run/user/9/dbus/user_bus_socket: No such file or directory <3.4> 2015-03-31 02:38:01 minas-tirith systemd 4096 - - Failed to open private bus connection: Failed to connect to socket /run/user/9/dbus/user_bus_socket: No such file or directory <3.4> 2015-03-31 02:44:01 minas-tirith systemd 4195 - - Failed to open private bus connection: Failed to connect to socket /run/user/9/dbus/user_bus_socket: No such file or directory <3.4> 2015-03-31 02:45:01 minas-tirith systemd 4229 - - Failed to open private bus connection: Failed to connect to socket /run/user/0/dbus/user_bus_socket: No such file or directory <3.4> 2015-03-31 02:48:01 minas-tirith systemd 4508 - - Failed to open private bus connection: Failed to connect to socket /run/user/9/dbus/user_bus_socket: No such file or directory <3.4> 2015-03-31 02:54:01 minas-tirith systemd 4627 - - Failed to open private bus connection: Failed to connect to socket /run/user/9/dbus/user_bus_socket: No such file or directory <3.4> 2015-03-31 02:58:01 minas-tirith systemd 4873 - - Failed to open private bus connection: Failed to connect to socket /run/user/9/dbus/user_bus_socket: No such file or directory <3.4> 2015-03-31 03:00:01 minas-tirith systemd 4955 - - Failed to open private bus connection: Failed to connect to socket /run/user/0/dbus/user_bus_socket: No such file or directory User 0 is root, and 9 is news. Those directories do not exist, obviously. Should they? (they are not logged-in). And those messages are spamming the warning log. Anything that goes to the warning log is supposedly VERY important.

[opensuse] 13.1 Bash HISTCONTROL=erasedups -- not working? confirm?
by David C. Rankin 06 Apr '15

06 Apr '15

All, A value of HISTCONTROL=erasedups causes all previous lines matching the current line to be removed from the history list before that line is saved. (man bash) This isn't working on 13.1 for me. Can anyone else confirm that duplicates are NOT removed in 13.1 when this value is set? Searching, it looks like other distros have patched bash to insure this works when multiple terminals are open. (e.g.: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash/+bug/189881) If this is confirmed, could something similar be done here? The reason, after moving my history file from 11.4 to 13.1 and running for close to a year, I have close to 14,000 duplicate lines -- despite having 'erasedups' set: current lines: 20000 - uniq lines: 6099 = 13901 duplicates To fix the problem temporarily, I wrote the current file out, then sorted uniquely, then deleted the current history, read the sorted unique file in as current, and wrote the current back to HISTFILE: $ history -w | sort | uniq > uniqfile $ history -c $ history -r uniqfile $ history -w $ rm uniqfile That seems to have fixed the issue in the current session, and ~/.bash_history is current correct, but when closing the remaining sessions, I suspect the duplicates will once again be written to ~/.bash_history, even though 'erasedups' is set. If someone can confirm 13.1 is ignoring 'erasedups', I'll file the bug. -- David C.

[opensuse] FF 36 -- uugh! How to turn off search pop-up?
by David C. Rankin 05 Apr '15

05 Apr '15

All, Updates to 13.1 brought in FF36 which has the annoying habit of popping up a dialog for search engine selection every time I type something in the search dialog -- grr. I've already set preferences -> search to my default StartPage search and I DO NOT want to have that annoying dialog pop-up every time I type. It often covers up the very text I am reading/copying into my query. Has anyone found an about:config switch, or userChrome.css/userContent.css way to kill it? p.s. - Will someone please take UI development away from the children who liked playing with Crayons and fingerpaints...

[opensuse] Full disk encryption with RAID+LVM+LUKS on openSUSE 13.2?
by Bjoern Voigt 02 Apr '15

02 Apr '15

I already installed laptops with openSUSE 13.2 and full-disk encryption on one hard drive. I used an UEFI boot partition (/boot/efi) and the filesystems / and /home (plus swap) on an encrypted LVM. This works. But now I have a server with three hard disks. I want to setup the same full-disk encryption with YaST like on the laptops. On the server I want to use LVM over RAID-5 (mdadm). Is this possible? (with YaST, manually nor not possible) Is there any detailed documentation for this? (Until now I am able to setup RAID-5 with YaST. But I do not find the option to encrypt the LVM volume group. Without a LVM volume group I can not use "/" as a mount point for LVM logical volumes. Encryption for the RAID 5 device /dev/md0 works. But this kind of setup may cause problems if I want to extend the LVM volume group later with additional RAID devices.) I also have a problem with unlocking the LUKS encryption. Unlocking with password works. But unlocking with USB stick does not work unfortunately. https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=915849 Greetings, Björn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] On Mulitboot with UEFI
by Anton Aylward 02 Apr '15

02 Apr '15

This http://www.zdnet.com/article/hands-on-linux-uefi-multi-boot-part-2/ may be if interest to those who are just venturing into this direction for the first time. The point of my mentioning ZDnet is that its not for the ultra-geeks but neither is it for the Joe Sixpack who just wants to write to twitter and facebook. It is, however, for the 'masses' and tries to make the point that you don't have to be the pencil-neck twerp of the movies to use Linux. This series started off by making the point that it was easier to install Linux than to deal with the mess of the recent Windows updates. While I haven't done a Windows install recently and "10" may be something quite different, I've done very complex Linux installs (LVM, various FS, restores...) with less hassle than some should-be-simple operations with Windows. And yes, installing updates among them. I have up trying to move a hard disk from a dying mobo to a new one, something that you 'just do it' with Linux. I've a much more detailed posting on 'installation' coming up. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
